Okay, I Can’t Hold My Excitement Any Longer!

Posted on by Donald in Adventure, Article Writing, Fun, Internet Marketing, Intresting Stuff, Life, Making Money Leave a comment

Hehe, either it’s the second shot of Monster energy in me, or I’m just excited about my next eBook I’m working on! Not only do I love doing eBooks now, even though I hate writing, but I love the fact that when writing an eBook I learn so much more about the subject it makes it all worth it.

So I just finished the first version of Webmaster Blueprint, an eBook about learning how to start on online business with your own website and how to market it.

I need to come up with a new tag line..

Webmaster Blueprint! The best damn internet marketing eBook out there, a Beginners guide to starting an online business and Marketing it for EXPLODING SALES! YEAH!!!!!! Bi*CH!!

monster_energyHaha.. Monster Energy is Awesome!

Ah, I forget what’s my new eBook about? The secret I didn’t want to talk about in one of my lastest post?

It’s for the lazy Black Hat Marketer! I find at times I’m a pretty lazy person, other times when I have monster in me I’m apparently not so lazy. Okay enough delay, my new eBook which is still in the research stage will be on Auto Blogging!

What is Auto Blogging?

It’s the process of setting up dozens, even hundreds of Blogs that run on autopilot!

If your auto blogs are setup correctly you can easily make hundreds even thousands of dollars a day with them. But it’s not an easy process! I want to stress this, it’s not all fun and games and not for a quick buck until you master auto blogs!

I’ve been auto blogging for a couple years now, and the blogs I have, some are doing very well and others are on life support with me reaching for the cord.

Auto blogging can be fun because you can watch and nurture your auto blogs into a money making machine that can drive tons of traffic to anything you want really.

If you have a business you want to promote, setup a dozen or so auto blogs and point your blogs to your business website. I used to do that when I sold virtual currencies for online games and it worked very well.

If you’re an affiliate marketer, add your affiliate offers all over your blog for sales.

Currently I like to presale a product with landing pages, also I have banners setup to promote affiliate offers and I collect emails to promote more products later on! It’s awesome and it generates me hundreds of dollars a day on autopilot.

I do a lot of things to make money online, and I found auto blogging and selling my own product seem to be the best bet for making solid long term income online.

I’ve been making money with auto blogs for literally years now… and that’s the way I like it.

I’ll keep you guys updated on the status of the Auto Blogging guide.

It shouldn’t be a long process like Webmaster Blueprint, hopefully it will be done in a month or two! Most likely two months. *crosses fingers*

My monster drink is making me crash so I must nap now.

Cheers!


Getting Started Again – Pandora Radio

Posted on by Donald in Fun, Random Leave a comment

What can I write about? Hmmm…

Maybe if I just start typing away, I’ll come up with something.

Yeah, that’s what I’ll do.

Hmmm, what to type about.. well I’m listening to Pandora Radio at the moment, I’m not sure how that helps me write about something but I’ll run with it.

Pandora Radio! Ooo. I have a topic now..

Wow.. Random typing might just work..

pandora2

OKay so Pandora Radio is a website where you can listen to free internet radio!

It’s pretty nifty; you just sign up for an account and input what you want to hear.

For example I’m listening to the Red Hot Chili Pepper Station at the moment. So what Pandora Radio does is create a station for me based on the Red Hot Chili Pepper music and similar artiest. To better explain it read this.

With Pandora you can explore this vast trove of music to your heart’s content. Just drop the name of one of your favorite songs or artists into Pandora and let the Genome Project go. It will quickly scan its entire world of analyzed music, almost a century of popular recordings – new and old, well known and completely obscure – to find songs with interesting musical similarities to your choice. Then sit back and enjoy as it creates a listening experience full of current and soon-to-be favorite songs for you.

You can create as many “stations” as you want. And you can even refine them. If it’s not quite right you can tell it so and it will get better for you.

It’s free but has ad banners to support it, and I just noticed videos play every once in awhile, but other then that it’s excellent.  You also have the option to subscribe with no advertisements and longer time-outs, but I haven’t noticed their ads or hour long time-outs to get in the way of playing music. You can even listen to Pandora radio with an iPhone, which I do in my car or at the gym.

pandor_radio

Yah! A decent post! Random writing works!

Visit Pandora Radio and start listening to the music you love!

Until my next random post!


Okay.. Enough of a Break for ME!

So yeah I haven’t blogged in awhile!

The reason why is because I decided to take that time and write a new eBook instead, which is 99% complete now.

It just needs a little fine tuning and it’s good to go!

By the way it’s a beginner’s guide to starting an online business with your own website. It’s pretty detailed for beginners; someone more experienced probably wouldn’t benefit from it much. It also has almost 50 pages of marketing tips that I’ve learned over the years.

I’m not trying to sell it to you guys; I’m just letting you know why I haven’t blogged in awhile. 🙂

I’m also working another eBook, but it’s a secret for now. 🙂

This one will be for the more experienced marketers out there.

Anyway so I’ve decided I’ll start blogging again.

It’s kind of hard to start over again after a long downtime, but I’m sure I’ll get back to speed in no time.

Just an update, I’ll be posting again shortly.

Cheers!

I Really Hate Writing…

Posted on by Donald in Rant Leave a comment

I don’t know what happened. I had a business in the beginning where little to no writing was required. Then all of a sudden I’m doing customer support hundreds a times a day, answering live chats, getting orders done. And then I’m writing new landing pages, making things better as I go. And you can’t just chicken scratch things along, you have to make sense for the Most part.

I could care less about this blog so bah on that. 🙂

But what happened? I can’t believe in my work now I’m constantly writing all day long. And I’m sure I’m improving on my writing skills everyday but come on… I really hate to write..

My main issue is distractions.

One meow from my selfish cat in the background and I’m screwed! I mean I feed that bastard everyday and there is almost ALWAYS food in it’s bowl but whenever it see’s me being quiet concentrating on something important here it comes… waddling in staring at me like it wants something.

I mean live your life cat, and leave me alone.

I wish it could open doors and let it self out at times. And I mean come on learn to use a can opener.

Okay and other distractions are commercials on either the radio or TV.

Commercials on the radio are the worst!

I mean I’m listening to a great song, I’m in the zone writing more crap and then bam! Blah Blah GET YOUR TAX DONE HERE >. bLAH bLAH HIT THIS CLUB TONIGHT >> bLAH bLAH.

I’m glad I discovered Pandora Radio at least, now I can listen to the music I like without interruptions.

Bah..

Okay rant over… time to get back to work… writing..

Go Away KittY!


Oh Damn!!!

I do believe the US is scheduled for a melt down anytime now.

The only good thing we have going for us is Obama; he will have to be Mr. Fix It.

But even with Obama leading the ship are we still going to sink?

Bad Bad times…

Israeli ground troops enter Gaza

And now that Israeli decides to invade Gaza are we going to be dragged into this as well? Tensions are high, and that’s not good for anything right now.

Tell us what you really think Google…

And now as gas prices are starting to increase again our government wants to add a 50% tax hike on top of that.

Federal Commission Recommends 50% Gas Tax

Now I know it’s for the best and all but right now isn’t the best time.

All I know is if GM doesn’t collapse overnight and finally builds the Volt, it’ll be on my Christmas list.

I don’t want to be stuck paying $10 a gallon a couple years from now because of some unforeseen events.

I’d probably order a few of these as well…

Oh Damn!!

Firefox Broke Images Fix

Posted on by Donald in How-To Leave a comment

So I’ve been using Firefox for a couple years now and the one thing that I hated about it was how broken images were not being displayed.

As a webmaster I need to know when there are broke images on my websites and it has been a pain switching to IE and then to Firefox just to see if there are broken images.

Well after some searching I found a solution!

In order to see broken images with Firefox you need to do two things:

First install the Greasemonkey addon.

Allows you to customize the way a webpage displays using small bits of JavaScript.

Hundreds of scripts, for a wide variety of popular sites, are already available at http://userscripts.org.

You can write your own scripts, too. Check out http://wiki.greasespot.net/ to get started.

Now install the Broke Image Placeholder code from userscripts.org.

That’s it!

Now as long as you have show_image_placeholders set to true, which by default it is. You should now see broke images! Yay!

Now to find those cookie stuffers!


Google Products Please.

Posted on by Donald in Uncategorized 2 Comments

I’m really starting to dig Google products. And I usually don’t give into new things so easily. I don’t even have a MySpace or Facebook because.. well.. a couple reason, I just don’t like to try new things at times because I have so much other stuff to work on.

Anyways, if you have a Google account already. From Google’s home page, after you sign in, select My Account from the top of the page and you’ll see all the products you currently have with Google. Scroll to the bottom of your account, and click more to see more products.

Right now I’m using Adsense, Adwords, Analytics, Checkout, Docs, Finance, Gmail, Groups, iGoogle, Knol, Reader, Talk and Webmaster Tools. Sorry for the long list.

I’m really coming to love Webmaster Tools, as it’s helping alot with aspkin.com indexing and ranking.

Adsense and Adwords are a must for any webmaster.

Gmail is a joy compared to old lagging Yahoo! mail.

I haven’t used Google Talk yet, I already have MSN, and Aim.

Docs has come in handy a couple times when Word was acting up.

I’m still trying to get into Reader and Knol. Reader could come in handy if I’m too lazy to read my favorite blogs, and Knol seems like it would have been a good marketing tool, but I just never put the time into it.

All in all Google products continue to amaze me. If you haven’t yet, I recommend you sign-up for a Google account and start exploring.

Aside from the few Google products I mentioned there are dozens more worth your time.

Have fun!


How to Motivate a Lazy A$$!!

Posted on by Donald in Adventure, How-To Leave a comment

So you’re a self motivated person right? Let’s just say you are. But your friends and family are only motivated with fear and desperation. What can you do?

Well if you don’t have the time to inspire them into motivation, the quickest way to get them to do what you want, and this may seem like common sense, is to make them desperate!

For example: If you take a teenage boy to the middle of a lake and you throw him overboard. Okay, yes I know.. this is just an example. Let’s say this boy is very lazy. Okay so we throw him overboard and you hold his head under water. Again this is an example. Now this boy turned from a lazy unmotivated person into someone who is desperate and motivated into getting free. Ahh motivation at its best!

Okay, bad example.

But you get the point right? Some people can only be motivated with fear and discontent while others can be inspired into motivation. While everyone’s motivation is different it’s up you to figure out whether you need to inspire that person or fill them with FEAR to do what you want.

Usually I like to try a combination of both inspiration and desperation.

For example let’s say I try to get my brother to mow the backyard. He’s the laziest person in the world. What I would do is slowly bring up the topic during the day. I like the take the long sales letter approach. I give him a nice welcome in the morning, “Howdy!” (I’m from Texas) then sneak in something about the backyard being a bit high. I don’t say much more than that.

Okay an hour later he’s playing video games because that’s what he likes to do, I sit down with him and we talk about the game, I beat him a couple times and I say “hey that grass is still growing? Those were some fun times, mowing grass, fun times…”

I get it into his head about the grass again. I make it a neutral topic, not bringing fear into the picture just yet. Then later on I try to persuade him into mowing the grass because it could be a nice gesture towards our Mom. “Hey buddy, yeah you’re a hoot, fun gaming with you, hey you want to mow the grass? That sure seems like a great surprise to mother!”

I encourage a sense of excitement so he would want to partake on said adventure.

He’s pretty stubborn though and doesn’t budge from his firm stance of “nah”.

So I go into the desperation motivation I had as backup. Since I own the game system and game he’s playing on. I simply say, “hey buddy I gotta take my game system with me. It’s getting late and I gotta go home now”. I don’t live with him so I can use this excuse.

So now he has a sense of urgency and leverage if he mows the yard maybe I’ll let him keep the game system overnight. At this point he becomes desperate because he’s only level 45 on Call of Duty 4 and wants to reach level 55 to get the next prestige. So he begins to weaken on his objection over mowing the backyard.

I sweeten the pot by giving him 10 bucks and he mows the yard!

Yay! So you see, if I can motivate the laziest person in the world into mowing his own backyard… you can motivate a Lazy A$$ too!

Just know to motivate someone you have to keep all options on the table. You have to work both with inspiration and desperation to have the best results. And if that doesn’t work get your self a boat… take said person so the nearest lake… and … I kid..

Good luck!

Note: While he was mowing the yard, I quietly took off with the game system.
Bah! It’s Meh game system! Lol..
