I sent out an announcement about the new [free] blog commenting tool from Jason Potash, Marc Quarles, and Jason Katzenback, but I thought I’d post the video here too.  Check it out below - it’s a pretty slick tool and a GREAT way to some easy links to your Storestacker, Blogsolution, or RSSEvolution sites.

It’s been in development for the past year and today, our baby went live at 12:01 this morning.  Sales started coming in immediately, with no announcements having been sent.  It’s now mid-afternoon and we’re nearing the 500 customer limit on the free clickbank plugin.  But I digress…

If you’re not familiar with StoreStacker, here’s some background on this ass-kicking tool.

In a nutshell:
StoreStacker does what NO other software on the market can – load a site with products from eBay, Amazon, and Clickbank, targeting virtually any topic or subject matter.  Users build and run their own, ‘conglomerate’ affiliate store, covering any niche they […]

 Poetry slams, open mic nights and karaoke - the ”original” user-generated content.  Who could have guessed your local watering hole would be the precursur to one of the web’s most profitable trends?

a) the tech will find out the problem is their fault and fix it free of charge
or
b) the tech will find out the problem is your fault and you pay a $50 service fee.

However, there’s an insurance policy.  So, if I have the […]

It’s been a nutty few weeks and I apologize for the lack of posts.  I suppose I do have a couple good excuse though - a software and a baby.

 We’re wrapping up the final stages of our new affiliate shopping system - StoreStacker.  Our developers have absolutely outdone themselves - the software is, in a word, rockin’.  More details en route, as we get closer to launch.  I don’t want to ruin any surprises…

 Secondly, my wife and I had our first child a few weeks ago.  She weighs in at approximately 6 lbs, 11 oz, has a towering stature of […]

I think it’s fair to say that New Years resolutions have become a bonafide joke. Most of us have been there…

We set a number of new years resolutions, feel great the first few weeks, but slowly start losing the momentum we had on January 2nd. The slacking starts and faster than you can say “gym membership”, our resolutions become yesterday’s news. By June, we probably can’t remember what half our resolutions were and by the next January, we’ve renewed our faith in goal setting because this time, we’re really going to do it.

So, after years […]

It’s been a busy couple of weeks.  Sorry for the absence, but we’ve been working on a couple of promotions in addition to a new product we’re planning on launching in January.  Exciting stuff.  But, combined with the holidays and other business, we’ve been busy.  Anyway, I hope this post finds you happily enjoying your holiday weekend, well fed and keeping your mind off business. 

There are a couple of things I’d like to touch on today…

First of all, I like to highlight good business ideas when I see them, and Luke Knowles over at Virtual Marketing Blog just launched […]

Here’s a quick little thing I’ve been doing since starting this blog that’s been GREAT for initiating new relationships -

Blogs naturally get links.  I make a post, one of our readers finds it interesting and posts a link to us for their own readers. But, instead of doing the ‘usual’ thing and simply looking fondly at the new links to my blog, then moving onto my next task, I’ve started individually emailing every person that links to us and thanking them.

The problem:  It’s easy to think of the internet as a faceless environment, so, the idea here is to think […]

I recently went down to LA to help my grandparents move.  Long story short, the trip culminated in a 20 hour drive with my father in a moving truck.  Suffice it to say, we got some time to chat.

 He mentioned something that’s been whirling around in my head since, and as it applies to today’s post, I thought I’d mention it.  He had a good friend a few years ago, Dave, that died of Hodgkins Disease.  Before he died and realizing that a terminal condition gives it’s ‘victim’ a unique perspective on things, my dad asked Dave what he believed […]

Last week our blog made it on to the del.icio.us Hotlist with its third post.  We saw subscribers double, 325 people bookmarked us and traffic jumped by about 5,000 hits or so.  Not an insane amount of traffic but, all-in-all, it was a nice little bump. So, how’d I do it? 

You’ll find you have more control over social media sites than you might think…
