I have been following along with Ed Dales Thirty Day Challenge and I have made a new friend. His name is Herb and his site has an excellent synopsis of the challenge and some personal insight to the challenge and his personal life. I really like what I read at  Fail In The Field today. He reflected about his personal battle with weight loss a little and how desiring something is an absolute fundamental in securing your wants… Go check out his blog so far. I am a lifer now Herb! Thanks…

Just read a very enlightening article about money and a couple of big observations to live by. If you are interested in money like I am most of the time, this is a must read.

New Suite Offering from Adobe

Adobe in typical 18-24 month fashion is going to be releasing its newest suite apps. Enter CS5… I guess there is a lot of new ground breaking features with this latest updated suite.

You can sign up for the global launch show here. The official launch is set for April 12, 2010 at 8am PST.

Early adopters of web, design, video, and photography are sure to be there. The question I have at this point is, “If I purchase CS4 before official CS5 announcement, am I going to be eligible for free upgrade?” Time will only tell this one, but I am still excited. Hope you enjoy the show. Leave a comment below if you have any thoughts about purchasing CS4 at this point.

I have recently had some issues with Firefox and I am wondering if its because they are getting too big to fast?
Just last night I was surfing the web using Firefox and had to remove all my add-ons because my surfing had come to a grinding halt.

Check out this link for the graphical answer to who is leading the browser wars…

When you get done looking at it, come back and leave a comment.

Do you feel Firefox is getting too big for its britches?

Effective immediately I will be refocusing my blog to talk more about things pertaining to video and affiliate marketing. As well as, any other thing I find cool or entertaining. I continually find myself attracted to video and imagery with eye candy in it, so this is going to feel more natural to me. In addition I hope to share some marketing insights that would relate to video and marketing on the internet. I will be changing the site up over the next couple weeks to better serve the online community.

Thanks for your patience and I hope you enjoy the new content.

Please come back and comment below, and tell me that is not the best free training you have ever received…

There is a high anxiety bit of legislation that is working its way around the US right now, it has started in 5 states so far, but is expected to gain momentum with future states. What is happening right now is the states are trying to adopt a cross state tax to be imposed even if you don’t have a brick and mortar store in the state you sell items to someone in. It is very confusing and needless to say is going to put the hurt on some peoples businesses because they are not going to be able to compete with the internet sites that are currently not having the internet tax imposed on. Lynn Terry has done a great job summarizing what is going on and there is a great debate on ClickNewz right now discussing it… You know there is nothing like getting kicked when you are down. Way to go government leaders!  Hey go check that out and come back here and leave a comment when you are done.

So, in light of this recent internet tax, I wanted to share with you 3 ways to further monetize your blogs to help you generate more revenue to get through all of this economic mess.

1. Would be create a membership site out of your blog, have different levels of membership and a great conversion tactic to get the freebies to start paying for quality content.  You can find a great product to do this at Membernaire.com, as a matter of fact, here is what Jimmy D Brown has to say about membership sites. “The easiest way to get monthly recurring income without a lot of work struggling to come up with original content, without buying high-priced scripts and without waiting around for results.” Go Check out his site, he does a great job explaining step by step what to do. I have been going through his course for about 3 months now, and I think his explanations are concise and easy to follow. Plus he has a great assistant, her name is Nicole Dean. Look forward to an interview from her soon (This is going to be an on going thing with the interviews), so go check it out and let me know what you think!

2. The second way to monetize your blog would be to use affiliate marketing to generate a revenue. You can find many networks to find products to sell. Some of them would be azoogle ads and pepperjam network. Again, I have a product for you to use to learn how to promote the affiliate links with. It is another Jimmy D Brown program, and there is a reason I am using his products right now.. It’s because they work. He is a very trusted internet marketer out there, and he has helped my business grow over the last couple months. Here is the link to his Affiliatenaire.com program. Do yourself a favor and sign up for his programs.. You will not regret it!

3. Lastly, there is the PPC method… I would do a search in Google for how to best use Adsense to set up a campaign for your business model.  I have not mastered Adsense yet, so you are going to have to find out where to get the info that is gonna work for you. You might also want to look into Yahoo Publisher Network on how to monetize your blog. I have included the links as a starting point for your search. Be creative and come up with more terms to find the information you want to know about.

Let me know how your online efforts are coming along and if I can help you figure something out. I have a lot of resources at my disposal to aid you in your business. Just ask in the comments section.

I have been using firefox 3.5 for about 3 hours now, and it is definitely faster than its predecessor. Some things to look forward to with the upgrade include open video, a recently closed windows menu item, and speed enhancements I have mentioned previous.

Mozilla the makers of Firefox claim the speed increase is double that of version 3. Not as much lag time pulling up sites as their used to be. The new open video html 5 video tag allows us to embed video directly into our sites and playback with no external applications like flash, or quicktime. Is this going to replace flash, not quite yet.. but it won’t be long before this open source ogg video codec is going to take over things on the web. It just makes the whole thing simpler when it comes to figuring out how to play videos. If there is ever a time where you accidentally shut down your browser, you can always go to History->Recently Open Windows->and click on the window listing that you had open to retrieve where you were.

If you don’t have the latest version go check it out at Firefox 3.5.

I would fanatically say that it is time to upgrade your Firefox browser to the latest version. It appears to be quick, nimble, and stable…

Well I finally found some research about the whole Bing vs. Google debate.  I am going to leave this one to the experts at Website Magazine to summarize the Catalyst Group Study.  I have been doing some futsing on Bing myself lately, and I do agree the results are very relavent.  It will be interesting how this big debate on search engines is gonna pan out by the end of the year. I am sure there will be more information as time goes on about the best ways to utilize SEO to get better listed on Bing for affiliate marketing purposes also… As I hear more I will keep you posted..

Go check out the review on Bing vs. Google.

As always, I would invite you to come back and leave your comments about the two search engines and your feelings about the future of SEO and the engines.

To Your Success,
