Hey, my RSS feed is working! C’mon, join up. I made a road sign for you to find it. I’ll even attempt to make most of my posts more valuable than this one. Got an idea for something you’d like to see in the feed? Let me know in the comments. I browse through all [...]

Google sets is not too well known but can be a fast and easy way to come up with ideas.
Go try it now. For instance enter “diet, weight loss, lose weight” into 3 of the fields. Hit the “Large Set” button and check out the results. This can give you ideas for niches or [...]

I sat in on a session at Affiliate Convention with Stephen Richter discussing new aspects of compliance we’re all going to have to think about.
You’ve probably heard some talk about the FTC cracking down on bloggers. Well it doesn’t stop there. They are getting all geared up to outline new regulations by the end of [...]

The parties at Affiliate Convention Denver 2009 were pretty outrageous.
The Parties:
Platinum 84; June 17, 9pm: I was about an hour late to the party.  The location was inconvenient but there were free buses running a loop from the Hyatt convention hotel to Platinum 84. Being late already, I took a cab.
I heard several first hand [...]

I have a series of pictures covering both. Warning that some are not safe for work. Take a look at the photos page at top right if you’re interested.
You’ll certainly [...]

Only catch is this. [...]

You’ve seen ads that say “Hi I’m Tina from , and I want to be your best friend! Please buy my stuff.” Here is how it’s done.
1. Write your sentence without the location: “Hi I’m Tina from   and I want to be your best friend.”
2. Go to HTML view and paste the following script in [...]

This script really is pretty crappy. It isn’t pretty, and it isn’t real nice. People hit cancel instead of reading it and when they do, it sends them to your offer. For the crappy little cherry on top, I put my own affiliate link in there. If you don’t change it, I’ll be making the [...]

Just a quick interesting tale here of how I went in the eyes of a large affiliate network from being unworthy to highly desirable. One of the larger networks (you’ve heard of them) initially denied me. I had been planning on moving into affiliate marketing, but hadn’t done anything yet. Hey, you have to have [...]
