When people tell you to “be yourself”, what does that mean?

People will appreciate your helpful posts, and will check out the link in your signature.

As I mentioned in my recent post on Twitter, I don’t really like being known as “Pat Doyle”. I much prefer just “Pat Doyle”. But when I went to purchase my domain name, patdoyle.com was taken. So I decided to brand myself as Pat Doyle instead.
It has always bothered me a little, though, and a couple of months ago, I noticed that patdoyle.org was available. I purchased it, thinking that using .org was better than having to stick with the “b” in my domain name.

I just wanted to make a short post to say that I am praying for all those affected by Gustav. It is unbelievable that the people of New Orleans are going through this just 3 years after Katrina. And many others in the Gulf region are affected.

I have heard time and again, and I believe it is true, that the real way to making big money online is to create and sell your own products. I am talking about information products, such as ebooks, videos, audios, membership sites, paid newsletters, etc.
What all these have in common is that you are selling the information you know about, to people who want to learn it. These people are happy to pay you for the knowledge you have, because they will get much more than the purchase price in value when they learn and apply your information.
