Extra printer-friendly versions aren't necessary because all pages on StevePavlina.com are programmed to be naturally printer-friendly. Just click "Print" in your web browser while viewing any page of this site, and the page will be printed with nice formatting, an easy-to-read font, and no ads or navigational elements. If you'd like to see how the printed page will look before you actually print it, use your web browser's "Print Preview" feature.
Sharing articles from StevePavlina.com with your family, friends, and co-workers is encouraged, as long as this sharing is personal, not commercial, in nature. If you wish to reproduce articles more formally, such as in a newsletter or as part of a company training program, please read the FAQ item about reprinting articles.
How long has StevePavlina.com been online?
Since October 1st, 2004.
I'd like to send you a book, audio program, or other product for evaluation. Where should I send it?
Please use the mailing address on the contact page. Please be aware, however, that it's unlikely your product will be evaluated and even less likely it will be mentioned on this site. Publishers, authors, and publicists frequently send review copies in the hopes of getting a mention or a review on this site, creating a sizable queue of products for consideration. On the bright side, original personal development products that offer genuine value, compelling content, and profound insights have a fair shot of getting mentioned.
What advice would you give to other bloggers who want to be successful?
Please read How to Build a High-Traffic Web Site and How to Make Money From Your Blog. They're widely considered some of the best blogging articles online and contain plenty of practical advice.
May I link to StevePavlina.com from my site?
Yes, absolutely. Links are always appreciated. The preferred form is Personal Development for Smart People or Steve Pavlina's Personal Development for Smart People.
Will you swap links with me?
No. This site doesn't maintain a blogroll or engage in link swaps. Due to StevePavlina.com's traffic volume, such requests are (1) too unbalanced to be fair, and (2) too frequent to manage.
Can I republish or translate content from StevePavlina.com on my own web site, in my book, in my newsletter, etc?
For any online republishing or translation, the answer is no. You are, however, free to link to the original articles on StevePavlina.com. If you simply want to share one of StevePavlina.com's articles with the readers of your own web site, standard “fair use” practice is to quote a paragraph or two from the article and provide a link to the original source. But reposting a substantial amount of material isn’t permitted, even if you credit the author.
For offline reprinting or translation requests, such as if you'd like to republish an article in a book or newsletter, send your request via the contact form. Please explain: (1) which specific article(s) you'd like to republish, and (2) where and how you'd like to republish them. Reasonable requests are often granted.
Please be aware that all content on this site is copyrighted. When content from this site is republished without permission, we have to respond by sending a DMCA notice to the site’s web host as well as following up to ensure the stolen content is removed. We may also notify the site’s income providers. Third-party ad networks such as Google Adsense will typically terminate accounts and seize funds from such a site, since posting other people’s copyrighted material is a violation of their Terms of Service. Almost always when a site steals content, it’s stealing from many different sources at the same time.
I want to translate your entire web site (or a substantial portion of it) into another language. Can I have your permission to do this?
No. Many people have already made such offers, but we don’t intend to pursue this right now.
I would like to request an interview with Steve. How can I do this?
Please use the contact form to submit your request. Please specify: (1) the topics you'd want to cover in the interview; (2) the type of media such as newspaper, magazine, radio, or web site; (3) where it will be published; (4) an estimate of the publication's readership, listeners, or web traffic; (5) your deadline if any; and (6) your contact info. If possible please provide links to a previous interview you've done.
I have a special request to make of Steve. How can I do this?
Due to the volume of special requests received, Steve must be very selective. Please see this article, and read the section labeled "Requests" to familiarize yourself with how special requests are evaluated. If you believe your request meets the criteria listed, please submit it via the contact form.
