I'm sure a few of you reading this are using this method to put money in your pocket every day. But there is a lot of money to be made if you expand outside of the affiliate networks.

Well, I Survived Cancun

Posted on Mar 20, 2008 - 11:12 AM Comments (0)

After a few days in the sun and a whole lot of alcohol I made it home safe and sound. Cancun is an awesome place but I was disappointed how "Americanized" it was. In the "normal" parts of town it was classic Mexico but where the resort areas are, it looks like the vibrant section of any major American city. Lots of bars/clubs, restaurants (T.G.I. Fridays, wtf!), etc.

I have lots of photos that will go up on my Flickr account soon. There were lots of hot chicks and it turns out that it was spring break ...

Off To Cancun...

Posted on Mar 13, 2008 - 10:29 PM Comments (0)

Quick note that I will be out of town for the next few days. I am heading off to Cancun with my business partner and some of his sales guys. Sort of a reward for them and all their good work the last few months. So I may take me a little longer to respond to email, etc. You know, due to being intoxicated and/or hung over most of the time.

See ya next week!

Ever wanted to take out an affiliate manager you do business with? If you've done any sort of affiliate marketing, I'm sure you have. While we don't want to actually kill (murder, rub out, smoke, ice, put down, etc.) the person, we can get pretty frustrated with them and the company they represent. This post is about a real gripe I have with a real affiliate manager. That's right... I'm calling out names.

Million Dollar Goal - February Update

Posted on Mar 6, 2008 - 6:32 PM Comments (0)

My head has been stuck in a washing machine. That's the easiest way for me to summarize the month of February. Looks like March & April aren't going to be very different either. In any case here is a quick update on the status of my making a million smackers this year.

Business

It was a bumpy month business wise. For being the tiny company that we are some people found us and decided to start attacking us, apparently in an DDoS style attack. After a little bit of kung fu I was able to get that under control ...

How Much Do You Hate Comment Spam?

Posted on Mar 3, 2008 - 10:33 PM Comments (0)

I am so tired of dealing with comment spammers. Even though I use custom software that I wrote to run this blog, I still use the Akismet comment spam detector run by the boys & girls at Wordpress. The Akismet system is an awesome tool and catches a ton of spam for me but a good amount still gets through.

I began logging every time my software found a spam message around 6 months ago. After 2 weeks I had caught nearly 12,000 spam messages. I would sit and watch my logs just fly with spammers using custom software to ...
