I'd try just having a main call to action and then the opt-in box. I think all the pictures might overwhelm your prospect.

A quick call to action + opt in shows the reader exactly what to do with no room for confusion.

Hope to help!

I apologize for the slow response.

I am sure of the name - it's right here:
http://twitter.com/InvestorFreedom

You can be notified when people follow you if your settings are set up that way, or you can disable it. :)

I Twitter - my name is InvestorFreedom.

I've met some great people there, and potential joint venture partners!

I'd say I'm more aggressive than passive, though sometimes the approach changes depending on what the situation is. :)

I second You Can Negotiate Anything by Herb Cohen and Getting Past No by William Wry.

Roger Dawson is also an excellent author to check out. :)

AWESOME points.

One other thing to point out -

I recently read a very comprehensive study where they tested a LOT of sites, and found Arial to be the most easily readable font on the 'net. I highly recommend using that one. :)

It depends what kind of blog theme, in my opinion.

There are tons of great looking blogs that don't even look like blogs, and much more like a company site would "normally" look...

And then there are also blogs that look like blogs with great content and a "Contact" section with the company info.

I'd say to split test and see what works the best, but anything can go if executed the right way. :)

$6800 - nice job!

There are basic things you can do to make money with the blogs, like AdSense... though if you have a main product, then it probably wouldn't make sense for you to do that...

You could also have similar but non-competing companies pay you to advertise on the blog (either put a "Put Your Ad here" section on your blog or go out and recruit)...

Another awesome idea is to put an opt-in box in the corner of your site with a call to action (maybe for a free report, or coaching, or something) and collect subscribers. You can then submit affiliate offers to them, or talk more about the RentingYourHome product...

You can also affiliate link to similar but noncompeting sites.

Hope this helps!

I'm echoing the Mets sentiments...

And then Phillies are my second choice. :)
