The Rise and Fall of My Empire

The Rise and Fall of My Empire

You didn’t know I had an empire? Sure I do, started building it in 1998.
I don’t have websites that money money, I have an empire that makes money.
Maybe my title was a little too dramatic, or maybe not. It really has risen and fell a few times over the years. Although it’s ALWAYS paid me [...]

He’s Losing Paying Customers and He’s Not Listening!

I happened across one of the Big Guru’s Blogs today, found my way from Facebook (maybe there’s something to that Facebook thing after all?). I made a comment on one of the posts, nothing out of the ordinary, nothing real exciting here yet.
I hit the main page, scanning the post titles as I scrolled down, [...]

Ebay gets them all worked up

Unless you’ve been living under your house lately, you’ve probably heard Ebay has made some major changes as to what you can or can not sell on their auction site. As far as I can tell, the new change is that you can not sell digital or download only products. I’ve seen many folks saying [...]

Why Amazon.com is Kicking every ones butt

Wheither you like them or not they are kicking butt and taking names in so many ways. The reality is, they really are not doing anything any other company could not do, it’s really kind of shocking.
A good case in point is one of their competitors, Barnes and Noble. I love going to a B&N [...]

Building a business or chasing a dream?

I’ve mentioned this recently, but every day I am reminded how bad it is.
There have been at least two major product launches in the last week or less.
What bugs me is they seem to imply that with a hefty fee, you’ll make tons of money before you know it. To sweeten the pot they imply [...]

You can beat the Guru’s

Guru is so over used today, maybe I should say “Leaders” in the market.
Anyway, It amazes me just about every day, how the leaders don’t even practice what they preach. I don’t say this to put them down. I say it to impress upon you, you can be just as good, if not better than [...]

Why you need to sell your own products

There is nothing wrong with being an affiliate and selling other peoples products, I’ve made a good living since 1998 from others work. I’ve seen success story after success story, affiliates making some great money. Frankly though, I’ve grown tired of making others more wealthy and here are a few reasons why. Some reasons why [...]

Who are you making rich?

A big push of late seems to be making money with PLR products. If your unfamiliar, PLR stands for Private Label Rights. The general idea is that you are given or purchase a report or e-book with PLR rights which you can then sell and keep all the profits. What could be better, you have [...]

Free has it’s price

I happen across a forum post that I see far to often.
First off I applaud any one for taking the big step of deciding to work for themselves. Few people ever get even that far.
The question this person was asking, if they build a list without an auto responder. Well, the real question was [...]

Do you follow the crowd or make the crowd?

A few months back it was Joint Ventures. Lately it seems membership sites are the “in thing. What’s next? Or the better question is, will you jump on the wagon along with every one else?
There is nothing terrible about following the crowd, it’s actually much easier. It’s less thinking and stress on your brain. You [...]
