How Do I Get My Lens to the First Page of Google?
October 20, 2009 By 63 Comments
Thanks for all your replies and comments on the survey! I really appreciate it, and it looks like linking is the overwhelming winner for the moment. :) Last week, on Friday actually I got down to business, collected my thoughts and lenses and grabbed a group of lenses I really wanted to focus on. My goal is to get these 14 lenses to the first page of Google. Once you get a lot of lenses it's pretty easy to lose focus on the actions that drive you toward your goal, and much easier to just … [Read more...]

What Do I Do Today?
October 17, 2009 By 45 Comments
I remember when I first started internet marketing I would excitedly come to my desk every morning. I would check my email, and I would do a little of this, and a little of that. I would spend HOURS doing this and that, and the other thing. I eventually became pretty frustrated because I wasn't making any MONEY!! Over time I started to realize (of course this is simple trial and error) that some activities are more beneficial than others. Some activities make me money, and some just waste … [Read more...]

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. Almost 2 years ago now an email or something came through that made me think I needed to buy Micro Niche Finder. 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...]

October 12, 2009 By 11 Comments
When it comes to internet marketing jargon indexing is one of the most confusing areas for new internet marketers. We're going to cut through the confusion and get clear on this whole indexing thing today. What is indexing? Indexing is something Google and the other search engines do.

Building Links with Article Marketing
October 10, 2009 By 22 Comments
This is a totally different way to use article marketing. You will still be writing articles, but their purpose is different and how you use them is completely different as well. The purpose of these articles is not really to drive traffic, but it is about getting many many links point back to your site. For these articles you want to write quality content, but you want to focus on getting your keywords in the links in your resource box more than anything. The big piece of this puzzle is … [Read more...]

Do You Know the Purpose of What You’re Doing?
October 8, 2009 By 30 Comments
Why can't I just link straight to Amazon from here? It's a question I've heard over and over and over when it comes to building a blog to support your Christmas cash lenses. The answer is because that's not the purpose. Each time you open an edit page or a text editor there is a purpose behind the words and links you put down on the page. You need to determine that purpose before you start. This way you can create content and links that serve that purpose. What makes it so complicated is … [Read more...]
Let’s Get to Know Each Other!
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. :)
