Ditch Your Boss for Tissa Godavitarne

SO another weekend has come and gone and I’m back to work.  My former boss (who still has some authority over what information system access I had) is being a real “insert not nice word of choice here”.   I had found last year that it was time for the old ditch your boss routine… and now that I’m no longer a direct subordinate she goes out of her way to do petty things like mess with my information system access to aggravate me.  Why 3M refuses to do anything about her is beyond me.  She is a cancer in this place that needs to be excised or some serious chemo.

Spent much of the weekend doing spring clean up around the yard (gotta love the new chainsaw… more on that later) and otherwise preparing for next weekend’s performance in Rochester.  Went to an AMAZING performance of The Producers at the Palace Theatre with my friend Matt Mercier.  I hope others go to see it as well.

I did find some time to work on my article marketing and get the next campaign setup in SENuke.   Man that program just continues to get better. I was relieved to learn that the writers of the program are going to close the program off at 1000 subscriptions.  That should both limit the competition and seriously motivate my readers to get with the freakin’ program and sign up already.

Late on Sunday night had a terrific webinar with Tissa Godavitarne – he of the free people search biz.  Man that guy is a genius.  I can’t say enough about how using his search business and just sort of following the learning material links have brought me so far up the learning curve.  Yeah, he’s earned a number of commissions at my expense however I feel as though that is pocket change given how far my knowledge of Google and Web 2.0 has advanced in the last 10-12 weeks.  Being able to go online with him yesterday and pose some questions about the search business was very cool.  I don’t think he has to necessarily spend time teaching folks like me but I for one appreciate the opportunity to learn from someone obviously more experienced than me.

I have to run now but I hope everyone who reads this is having a better day than I am.  Hopefully you have already figured out how to ditch your boss… or perhaps your boss isn’t as awful as my former boss is being.

Take care and have a great day.

Thank You PotPieGirl and Wealthy Affiliate

A quick few words about Wealthy Affiliate.

I am well on my way to making it as an internet marketer, and there are a couple of extremely important websites where I took HUGE and I mean HUGE leaps up the learning curve in terms of understanding just how powerful a tool the internet could be. 

First and foremost I must thank my incredibly giving friend and mentor, PotPieGirl.
Second but not to be forgotten is that I never EVER would have met Jennifer (PPG) were it not for having joined Wealthy Affiliate. 

When I started this new push into internet marketing I already knew how to register a domain name and get domain hosting for my account, put up web pages, etc.  But I didn’t know how to really drive traffic to my sites.  I did not understand google at all.  Now I do.

It is clear to me now more than ever that a year from now I will be completely successful as an Internet Marketer, and I have Jennifer and WA to thank. 

Thanks a million guys… I get it now.

PS.  I should also mention WA member klrrider, who was among the first to help me find good resources and get me my way on WA quickly and inexpensively.

Leveraging Myself Through Article Writing and Working My Plan

So today I spent the morning using my favorite program, SENuke writing and publishing articles.  I’ve had quite a bit of success using that program to begin dominating targeted keywords.  I haven’t found the motherload yet however, but I am pleased with how I’ve come up the learning curve to really begin leveraging my time.  Every day, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week my articles and ads are working for me.  It doesn’t matter whether I am working, eating, sleeping, drinking or just screwing off – my programs, articles, and ads continue working for me.  I’m slowly turning myself into multiple copies of myself to exponentially improve my productivity.  Each day I get a little closer to my goal of freeing myself from the burden of income generation.  I really owe a giant debt of gratitude to Pot Pie Girl and her One Week Marketing program.  That has helped me organize and focus my efforts.  Those lessons, plus all the wonderful free giveaways and encouragement from her site really do make a daily difference in my optimism, my output, and my determination.  Hope you are getting fired up to work your plan the way I am working mine.

I also freed up some time to attend a barbershop festival for High School kids.  I was very proud to hear how well they performed.  Barbershop is a great avenue for learning to work as a team, gain self confidence and esteem, and truly enjoy music from a first person perspective.  Congrats to the Laconia, Winnisquam, Belmont, and Gilford kids who participated in the program.  Bravo!

To your success!

The Way to Internet Riches is Paved with Hard Work

So I spent the bulk of my evening that I otherwise would have spent socializing working my butt off.  I continue to work at my websites and campaigns, today examining a domain hosting program as well as a cheap domain registration program.  Both are critical elements of any large scale internet marketing program, particularly if you want to send links from the premium article publishing sites back to your affiliate programs via domain redirect.  Sites like Ezines don’t allow direct affiliate linking, but you can do so via a re-directed primary domain (i.e. a www.mysite.com address) .   You can’t do such a link through a sub-domain, so that means if you’re article marketing on the cheap then you still need to do a bunch of fire and forget cheap domain registration to setup all the domain forwarding (redirecting) and masking.  SENuke continues to be the greatest thing since sliced bread.  I don’t know that all of you will ever try using it, but if you do the article marketing campaign and have some success but want to go after the big fish… SENuke puts your article marketing program on steriods.  Definitely get the professional version… it costs double per month, but it does 100 times as much.

SENuke Review – The 800lb Gorilla of Web 2.0 Promotion

The first time you use the program SENuke you realize to yourself – “OH-MY-GOD” Watching SENuke setup (read: BLAZE thru) your web 2.0 accounts and get all your accounts and passwords established is a jaw dropping experience.  This piece of Web 2.0 genius is akin to the first bridge between man and machine.  This program leverages time into the bleepin’ stratosphere!

Anyone who has tried article marketing knows just how time consuming writing quality articles can be.  Google optimization dictates that articles must be different from one another.  That means the pain-staking process of writing articles for back-links to improve Google score takes longer and longer.  SENuke radically reduces the time required to build multiple back-links to your optimized articles.  While it does take additional time to write your first article with SENuke, by the time you are finished you will have MULTIPLE unique articles for submission to whatever Web 2.0 sites you see fit to publish them on. 

This is one of the most complete automation programs I have EVER seen – and believe me I know, I’ve written a few myself.  The work of one person using SENuke is equivalent to 10 men working independently.  It is an astonishing accomplishment in work productivity.  Bravo to them!

Earn $300 a Day Online – US FreeAds Product Review

USFreeAds Premium $9.95/mo

USFreeAds Premium $9.95/mo

US FreeAds – Classified Ads Premium Service – $9.95/month - The USFreeAds Premium Subscription service costs $9.95/month but it should be one of the only subscription services you should pay for other than domain hosting (should your campaigns progress to that point).  Use the USFreeAds service to create numerous backlinks to your websites, articles, or directly link to your affiliate product pages.  Whenever you need to create a link from a quality page to a page of lesser (or unknown) rank, a USFreeAd will get you some traffic quickly and cheaply.  Ads on the Premium Service automatically renew meaning you set them up once and then update them only when you need to change your campaigns.  If done well it is the fastest way to get competitive links onto the first page of Google search results, and can be used to enhance the prominence of other articles or pages not presently featured on Google organic search results.
