Projects and Goals for 2012

Randy — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 23:21:45 +0000

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

Randy — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 00:49:34 +0000

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

Randy — Mon, 25 May 2009 01:44:23 +0000

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

Randy — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 03:39:46 +0000

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

Randy — Sun, 21 Dec 2008 06:14:44 +0000

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.

Randy — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 09:57:44 +0000

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.

The Future Awaits

Randy — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 08:47:02 +0000

It’s 3am and I have an urge to write a bit, I promised the kids we would do “something” tomorrow even thought I’m not quite sure what that will be yet. The funny thing about having kids is that they can always think of something. Anyway, this post will probably be a short one. Read More
