Wow! 2012 has been a tough tough year for me and a lot of people I know. Internet businesses and land based businesses alike have just been kicked in the teeth. Not only has online gaming been squeezed and 100′s of business have been shut down to reduced drastically, but even normal businesses in the US have been squeezed. Now, I don’t want to get off on a political rant, but lord help out country if we don’t change direction and start encouraging small businesses. This time last year, I had 4-5 employees, now I have none. Read More
Crowdfunding Project Launched
I’ve been in the online marketing industry for several years now, and I often get asked what my “Best Tips for New Marketers” would be. This has always been a tough question to answer, but sitting her now I can say without question that my best advice would be: “You Can’t Do It all by Yourself”. Which is advice I wish I would have been wise enough to understand a few years ago, but better late than never! Read More
Projects and Goals for 2012
So how is 2012 treating everyone so far? I have to say, we are only 9 days in and things seem to be turning a corner. Personally 2011 was a great year, and a bad year packed full of business and life lessons. AS per the tradition, I wanted to post updates in the latest projects I’m working on, and I’m going to add some goals for 2012. Also, I noticed something interesting at the end of the year, this blog had over 200,000 Unique visitors last year, which is way more than I would have guess. Of course this blog has posts about local events and issues here in Stone County Arkansas. So lots of local visitors. Read More
Email Marketing and Adsense
I don;t have a plan for this post, so I’m just going to ramble a few things on my mind lol. The Poker Affiliate business is like a huge roller coaster and since I spend most of my time planning, I figured I would just “let it flow” with this post. Overall things have been going really well for me and my business. As usual I’ve gotten super lucky and I had a guy I know ask to intern with me for a while, this dude is awesome and best of all he has taught me some things. Check out his new site Steelers Gear (btw Greg you need to add the “www”) Read More
Eye on the Prize
The title of this post says it all. Keeping focused on your goals will make the difference between making money and wasting money in the marketing business. Now, that’s not to say they you won’t waste money on a project that never gets off the ground, or on a website that will never make money. I’m mainly talking about focusing on the wrong things.

Taking More Risk = Greater Rewards
Once again, I’m starting this post not exactly sure what I want to write about. Things have been going great with my websites, income is growing every month, and I just totally enjoy working my ass off making it happen. First off, I must give a super huge shout out to my wife, Durana, who I finally convinced to quit her job working for the state and stay home and work with me. She is writing top notch content right now for a new site I bought Poker Bonuses. So, far this has been a great decision for both of us. We are getting more done each day then I ever could alone and she is a big reason why our income has essentially double in 2009. Read More
Staying on Track
Been a few weeks since I posted and a lot has went on. so far in 2009 I’ve stuck to my goals and making good progress. I think I’m finally breaking through and getting where I want to be. I’ve also stayed disciplined and not jumped into every project that comes into my head. Instead I’ve wrote the ideas down, and put them on the back burner until I finish all my other ongoing tasks.

Web Marketing Lessons from 2008
Well, it’s been almost a month since my last post. I’m not going to make excuses, but the main reason is because this site doesn’t make any money and I’ve been trying to focus on my websites that do. I’ve been working on several projects and trying to concentrate more on long term projects rather than building more mini-sites and spreading myself too thin.

Busy November – The Month of Drama
Well November has been a rough month, but things are going good all around. Working in the corporate world at a job I love, and then coming home to working on my sites can be challenging.
