Why It’s Important to Meet Other Affiliates Face To Face

A couple summers ago, I met this cat at Affiliate Summit East. Since then we’ve talked more on the Internet, and even partnered on a few ventures and had some moderate success. We also met up occasionally at conferences too. Last week, he happened to have some time available so he came up to chill in Canada for about 9 days. My friends and I took him out to some local clubs, and showed him a bit of the scenery by going to my cottage up in Quebec....

Save Time Roughing Your Applications With Balsamiq

We’ve all been there. Struck by a moment of ambition and creativity. A new application, tool or website idea has popped into our heads and we have nowhere to write it down to remember our idea. Except for maybe the closest napkin or piece of scrap paper. This of course opens up the possibility to losing the paper, or accidentally throwing it out or whatever. Whether we like to admit it or not, this is a common problem among many entrepreneurs – many of us have ADD, and we’re serial entrepreneurs....

I Just Fucking Did It. First campaign unleashed on the tubes.

Little update to my previous post about just getting down to business and taking one vertical and running with it. I’ve successfully gotten my campaigns up and running on a couple of networks. The plan is to run 50$/day, for my specific demographic, for 5 days, in 5-6 US States that I chose. This should give me enough data to go back and tweak the ads, and keywords and see what comes of everything....

Wanna make Internet Monies? JUST FUCKING DO IT.

So, as many of you know I’ve been in the game since around November 2008. I was total newb back then, and didn’t even know what things like scrubbing, or scraping or p202 meant. There was a lot of learning to be done, and a helluva lot of reading from the Gay Webmaster Forum over at wickedfire. I’ve been in the game since around 2001, but not as an AM. I’ve been mainly running Adsense across my small network, and placing some bought ads from a handful of clients across my sites, not to mention Text Link Ads....
