It’s been a while since I had one of my Friday’s Links articles and I thought it was about time that I shared some great articles that are definitely share-worthy.

First up is Glen Allsopp from ViperChill who wrote a pretty in-depth article called Living Self-Employed Online: The Manual They Forgot To Give You. In this very extensive article, Glen provides 13 lessons from 18 months of self-employment. Glen has been a master at his marketing and niche website craft for several years now and provides so much fantastic information on blogging. I  have learned a lot from his articles and if you haven’t discovered his site by now, you owe it to yourself to check out his writings. I always learn something new every time he deems to write an article, which is usually one per week. He’s a very busy guy and is one of the people who is definitely walking his talk online.

Next is Henri’s article from Wake Up Cloud who wrote on a similar theme to Glen in his article Debunking Myths: 13 Untruths About Being Successful Online Destroyed. Henri has been making a living on the internet for a few years now and certainly has a way with words. I really appreciated this article because it shows you what some of the myths that Henri and others have debunked to make a living online. Henri is also someone who is definitely walking the talk, too.

I loved this quote from Raam Dev at his site, Raamdev.com:

So ask yourself, what have you failed at recently? If the answer is nothing, then you’re probably not pushing yourself hard enough. If you haven’t made any mistakes or learned any big lessons lately, then you’re probably playing it too safe.

This quote was from Raam’s article called Fear of Failure as a Barometer for Success. I love articles like these that make me think about how I’m living my life and what I can do to take some risks in my own life. I have taken some big risks is my life lately, but the fear of failure is always there lurking in the corner of my mind. We shouldn’t be coasting through life being scared of failure. Without failure, we wouldn’t have a chance for success.

Speaking of fear, Tim Brownson (actually Tim informed me that it was John Strelecky who wrote the article) from A Daring Adventure wrote a very powerful article called It Should Never Come To This about the choices we have in life. It may seem like we don’t have choices and that our present circumstances will always be the same, but that’s a fallacy. We all have choices, if we can only see them. While the article is definitely not one of Tim’s more uplifting ones, it’s very thought-provoking and motivational. I feel such sympathy for people who are left after their loved one’s have taken their own lives.

And now for something completely different, Jean over at Virgin Blogger Notes had a special guest post from Arvind Devalia who wrote 12 Reasons Why Bloggers Make The Best Lovers. I had to laugh at the reasons and I’m sure that you will find them pretty humourous (and true), too! I thought that this was pretty cheeky:

And if you are single and looking for a lover, surely it’s high time you hooked up with a blogger?

Of course it’s all true. Oh, by the way, in case you don’t know, I’m single
