Solved my no cell phone service in the basement woes!

6:17 pm on 02 March 2010 | No responses

First off — shit yeah!

Second off, if you’re like me, then you have an office in your basement or you just plain have crappy wireless service in your house.

When I moved from Sprint to AT&T to get an iPhone I was less than pleased to discover that my cell service no longer worked very well in the house.

I was even more less pleased to discover that it didn’t work at ALL in my basement.

Since I use that phone for just about everything I found myself constantly running upstairs and out to the garage to just pick up a lil service and be able to use my phone.

I had read about repeaters which you place up in your attic and which act as antennas to increase your wireless range… sounded good, but required running wires from my attic to my basement and of course busting into some walls.

That = not good.

Google’s Superbowl Ad

5:32 am on 08 February 2010 | No responses

Did you see Google’s Superbowl Ad yet?  In typical Google fashion it was light, clean, and very minimalist.

Frankly I was surprised by how typically “Google” this commercial was, but apparently the doods that run the ship over at Google have been running this ad over at YouTube for months now…

And the feedback on the YouTube video was mostly positive, so they thought it would be worth putting on TV.

Google couldn’t be more anti-marketing if they wanted to be. But obviously the shit they do works, so I’m sure they won’t be knocking on my door for consulting anytime soon;)

If you have yet to see the commercial, I embedded it for you here:

13 Months… LOL

2:10 am on 05 February 2010 | No responses

It’s been 13 months since I wrote anything here. LOL @ me.

But why so long?

Because I am not a blog marketer, blogging marketer, blarketer… or whatever the hell it’s called when you make most of your coin from pimping shit on your blog.

So, while I was spending my time on stuff that makes me money, I was NOT spending my time on my blog.

For some reason I looked at my blog the other day and thought, “damn, that’s a pretty sweet looking site… I look all evil and whatnot… maybe I should do something with it.”

And so I am…

Direct Mail That Got Me…

8:44 am on 23 January 2009 | No responses

I consider myself a pretty tough customer.

Having been marketing online and off for many years now I have seen pretty much every tactic, trick, technique, secret, and everything else imaginable.

So, shit rarely surprises me or grabs my attention.  This did though…

F&*K You Spam!

5:27 am on 14 January 2009 | No responses

For the past several months I have felt overwhelmed by spam.  I have been convinced that I get WAY more spam than actual messages I give a shit about.

I’m someone that enjoys being connected (or as my wife would say, “on an electronic leash”) and have my BlackBerry tied to my Exchange server, so I can get my emails anywhere.

The problem is that my BlackBerry (in addition to my inbox) just seems to get stuffed with hundreds of emails with subject lines such as this: …read the rest of this post

The Economy Blah Blah Blah

9:52 pm on 16 October 2008 | No responses

I have avoided discussing the economy in mails to my lists because I am sick of all the blatant bullshit scare tactics marketers are swarming around to pimp their shit.

I am only talking about it here today because I am also beginning to grow weary of people blaming the economy for their failing business.

Why Press Releases Rule

5:51 am on 21 September 2008 | No responses

Here’s a little something that I am often guilty of ignoring, as are many marketers, and yet it makes grabbing top spots for your keywords WAY easier.

In fact, my partner Phil Craig just proved today that it’s still an excellent way to muscle in on keywords you want to rank for by grabbing 3 spots on the first page of Google in one day.

Here’s A Less Sucky Way To Do JV’s

4:35 am on 05 September 2008 | No responses

So… a couple days back I gave the whole JV idea a kick below the belt.

And here I am now telling you that there may just be some use for the JV strategy in Internet marketing after all. Am I back peddling?

Nah… just doing things a little differently for you to get a different and better result:-)

Here’s a method from which you can profit from JV partners, without many of the hassles that go along with the customary JV method (ie: ask people to mail for you).

JV’s Suck Ass

10:48 pm on 31 August 2008 | No responses

So… finally: the new blog is here and I have been itching to post, so glad to get the chance to let some words fly.

I thought today I would address a common “traffic” theme for many would be, could be, wanna be Internet Marketers.

Joint Ventures.

This is something that a lot of the big hitters swear by and hell — there’s even products that teach you how to get JV’s for your products.

My take — it’s bullshit and a waste of your time (unless your product is outside of the IM niche).
