Your Reason For Failure May Be Your Ticket To Success

How many times have you said, “I can’t, because I ___” (fill in the blank with the reason for failure you use most often)? What if the very reason you use to anticipate failure could be turned into your ticket to success? Let’s take an example. Maybe you are shy, and are not a “people person”. You read a little about creating an online business and you hear that... read more

You and I Together In 2008

The new year is fast approaching, and I wanted to give you a quick idea of where this blog will be heading next year. We live in a sound bite world these days, and none of us have tons of time for lots of blog posts anymore.

The Essence of You

I have two questions for you this holiday/end-of-year season. But before I get to the questions, I wanted to tell you about a special little boy I know. His name is Cody.

A Monetization Model That Stand Out And Combats Ad Blindness

Ad blindness has long been a problem for anyone trying to monetize a site via ads. Site visitors are so accustomed to seeing ads that they no longer really “see” them. If you are hoping that your visitors will actually click those ads, it’s a lot less likely if they didn’t “see” the ad in the first place. So what should you do? You should occasionally test new... read more

When Is A Blog Not A Blog

When is a blog not a blog? When it is a site that is managed like a blog, that’s when. Want to know a little secret? My most profitable site is not a blog. It’s just a regular site. You know, the kind that has existed for years, long before the word blog was invented. I almost never update it. I hardly ever even think about it. I certainly don’t post daily or weekly like I would... read more
