Idea Consultants Must Have A Plan & Be Able To Solve Problems
Aaron Wall over at SEOBook (that’s my affiliate link, buy the book and get me a spiff I’d appreciate it) has a good post called ‘Hiring the Ideas Guy‘. As more and more content is created there are more publishers than there are good ideas, which means publishers are hungry to spread the few good ideas that exist. What separates a profitable channel from a money loser is typically two things: ideas and execution. Righto. The reason consultants can... Read More »
Viral Marketing Works When It’s Useful & Interesting… & Easy
Seth Godin is right, as usual. Check out this fun little, yet very simple tool. It’s viral because it’s interesting, not because it’s accurate. And it’s interesting partly because it talks about how much money you have. Sort of the new fortune telling. So let’s review. This works because it’s easy, fun, useful, interesting… When you work on projects, do you strive for those things? If not, are you sure you’re on the right track? Read More →
The Best Pixel Scripts Are?
I just recently launched Affiliate Marketing Friends using this pixel friend script. However, I’m, how do I say it, I’m underwhelmed at the script’s completeness. It’s buggy to say the least, and leaves a lot to be desired. Certainly not something I’d launch a real business around. What do you expect for $40 right? So I’m looking around for a better pixel friends script. In my searching around I found this script (aff), which seems nicer... Read More »
Let’s Make Some Creative Video!
Today I plan to make 10 videos here in my office. Some will be done with my webcam at my desk, but some will be done with an actual video camera (my first attempt), directly then downloaded to my pc for editing. I’m feeling VERY creative today, so watch out. To be inspired, I watched one of my favorite videos. It’s a spoof on magician David Blaine. This is NOT for kids or for loud volume in the office, the language is pretty rough. Why is this video great? Because... Read More »
Become An Affiliate Marketing Friend!
Do you love affiliate marketing? I sure do. I’ve been working knee-deep in the trenches of it since 2000 or so, as an affiliate, a merchant and from the agency side of things. Affiliate marketing has been good to me. There are many positive things happening in the world of Affiliate marketing these days. Bumpzee from Scott Jangro has literally exploded the discussion. The Affiliate Summit event has blown away everyone with its growth and amazing success. And of course... Read More »
Introducing: Ask The Blogger.com
For years now I’ve struggled with recommending tools, services or guides that I liked because I always worked for a company in a brand management type of role. That meant that I was unable to endorse Internet related products. Sure, I could pass recommendations to friends and colleagues, but that was about it. Until now. I’ve recently launched my latest website called AskTheBlogger.com. AskTheBlogger.com is built for me to answer questions from anyone about... Read More »

Free Business Idea: Bottled Bathroom Sink Water
Am I the only person who thinks the water out of the sink (not the toilet) in my bathoom tastes much better than the water out of my kitchen sink? This is both true in my new home, and the house I grew up in, as well as any other domicile I inhabited over the years between leaving the parents house and buying my own home. (Except for the college house, blech). My wife cringes when I talk about this, but I don’t care. I think that bathroom sink water tastes much better... Read More »

Vlog Fights: Free Online Marketing/Business Idea #2
I’ve had this idea in my head for a long time now, but today Wired (Michael Calore) helped me finally get it out there. They wrote a piece called ‘ Best Blogfights of 2006‘. If bloggers know how to do one thing really well, it’s fight. Blogging is driven largely by raw emotion. When a blogger goes on an opinionated tirade about one topic or another, it’s often an honest emotional reaction rather than anything malicious. But whatever the motivation... Read More »

Well, there’s a new website in town that wants you to pay them a dollar to be ripped off, and they’re honest about it. Visit CompleteRipoff.com. The site asks you to give them a dollar for “absolutely nothing”. What do you get for your dollar? Absolutely nothing, really. Seriously. Disclaimer: Yeah, this is my website.... Read More »
Techcrunch Conversation Tracker: Free Online Marketing Idea #1
If you’re an avid reader of www.techcrunch.com as I am, you’ll know that the comments are always sometimes the very best part of the content. I would argue that most of the time they are even better. That’s no dig on TC, but rather a compliment to the community they have enabled over there. So when a story breaks on TC that I am interested in, I follow the comments, and the trackbacks, very closely. TC doesn’t have a “subscribe to comments”... Read More »
Free Online Business Ideas For 2007
2007 is about 8 hours away. I’m looking forward to the new year, specifically because this is the year that I’m setting a few goals for myself and focusing ONLY on those few things. As those you of you who know me, I’m ADD when it comes to marketing ideas. In other words, I have too many ideas, and not enough focus. So what happens? Nothing gets done as well as it could. So as I launch myself into 07, I have set these three main goals I need to stick to. 1.... Read More »
