Got a story for you today. A story from way back in the day when I was buying everything someone in an email told me I needed lol, and how I finally realized how to use something I bought years ago.

I don't remember exactly what it was but hell, back then it didn't take much to get me to buy anything. :) I bought it, and I tried to use it, and I remember thinking something along … [Read more...]

April 22, 2009 By 14 Comments
Sometimes finding an idea for a new niche site can be tough. Sometimes finding content for a random niche can be REALLY tough. I have been trying to build a niche site a week this year.

I have a LOT of PLR on my computer, and have only recently started … [Read more...]
Create a Poll for Free
November 28, 2008 By 3 Comments
A while back I talked to you about creating a poll to find out just what your readers want. It's also a great thing to do to get ideas during product creation.

I used a paid service that was recommended to me by Russell Brunson. It worked great, but after the short intro period you have to pay for the service every month. Today while I was … [Read more...]

Social media gives me the opportunity to get to know you better, as well as giving me the opportunity to share more of me than just the "internet marketing" side. I share multiple facets of me, and my life on social media, so if you choose to connect with me don't expect it to be 100% internet marketing... because it's not. :)
