One of the biggest challenges of part time Internet Marketing is finding the time to do some actual internet marketing. Last month I reviewed Yanik Silver's book about how to get started making money on the internet. That book talks about five different internet...
Internet Marketing Podcasts
I spend a lot of time in my car, so one of the best ways for me to learn about things is through audio recordings. In the past, this has meant buying "books on tape" -- more recently "books on CD." The explosion in podcasting in the last five years has really changed...
Always Use Protection (When Writing Code)
I hear a lot of the Internet Marketing gurus brag about how they cannot even write their own landing pages. They argue that most (or all) of the technical stuff should be outsourced so you can spend time on marketing instead of hacking. There is no money in hacking,...
Internet Marketing, Electrons and the Meaning of Life

Kidnapped Without Internet Access
Last week was an exciting week. My neighborhood was hit by a tornado that knocked out power and satellite, I celebrated a birthday (I feel old) and I was kidnapped by my wife and taken to an exotic hotel location without my laptop. Working on Internet Marketing...
Josh Spaulding Announces Private Coaching Forum
Sometimes things just come together. Just a few hours ago -- earlier today -- I was talking about how I wanted to focus on my niche sites and other key parts of my long term business plan. Then, suddenly, out of nowhere comes the announcement of Josh Spaulding's newly...
Bringing Things Into Focus — New Post Frequency
A few weeks ago, I wrote about the problem of being a "Jack of All Trades and a Master of None." In that post, I talked about how challenging I found it to work on Internet Marketing (IM) part time. IM can be all-consuming. I complained in that post that I had not...
Niche Super-Site: Elvis Traffic Starting to Build
Last week, I updated you on my Niche Super-Site Project, History of Elvis. My strategy of going after long-tail keywords paid off, and I demonstrated a front page ranking for history of elvis using link directory submissions. (It is important to remember that there...

Breaking Down the Magic of Social Media in a Web 2.0 World
On April Fool's Day, I was reminded about the power and magic of social networking. Of course, there has been a lot of discussion over the last few years about "Web 2.0." Now a media buzzword, "Web 2.0" is usually taken to mean anything that promotes social networking...
Google First Out of the Gate with GMail April Fools Prank
Big fun from Google on April Fools Day. Imagine my surprise when I went to read my mail just around midnight, only to find that Google had just released a new feature for GMail called GMail Custom Time. With GMail Custom Time, you can date your email in the past. Just...

Niche Super-Site: Checking In On Elvis

Last Meal In Singapore
Last week I was able to go eat at a restaurant in Clarke Quay, Singapore called Jumbo's Seafood. I love Singapore.
The Magic of Email Lists
RSS feeds are cool, but to be honest with you, there are times when I get so busy it is hard for me to get to my reader. This, coupled with the fact that I am often mobile and don't have a great RSS reader for my BlackBerry means that I am never completely up to date...
A Micro Niche Finder Experiment
So, I was crusing around on Spyfu.com today, and I saw lots of listings involving mesothelioma. Now, to be completely honest with you, I did not know that mesothelioma was the disease that you get from asbestos. Go figure. It is a high cost keyword (from an Adwords...
Easter Egg Contest
There has been a cool contest going on over at Caroline Middlebrook's blog. I really like her stuff, so I am playing along. From an internet marketing standpoint, this is very clever. This contest causes you to do two things -- dig through all of Caroline's old...
Jack of All Trades, Master of None
One of the biggest challenges for me personally working on Internet Marketing part time is focus. As a part time Internet Marketer, I have a very limited amount of time to spend on tasks related to my new hobby. In fact, I try not to spend more than a couple of hours...
