Is it just me or do you find Oprah interviews by Skype to be annoying. At first it stated with just a few interviews that seemed as a good idea to be connected with Skype. Then it started to look like Oprah was getting paid to Skype. The truth is Oprah is getting paid to Skype. You would think that a quality show like the Oprah show would rather have better video quality and sound. The way it looks now is that the Oprah show rather see the money from eBay’s Skype service. Well let’s see if Oprah get’s over using Skype and moves on to Twitter.Here is here first Twitter message “HI TWITTERS . THANK YOU FOR A WARM WELCOME. FEELING REALLY 21st CENTURY.”

April 21st, 2009Branding, Random Stuff, Web HostingA few days ago I started to notice that a site that had done very well for me was not getting and sales. It had been a big producer and I know that pattern for the last few months had been steady. When I went to my domain I noticed a message from the ISP that said this site was no longer in service. With a quick phone call I called the ISP and found out that since a used a brand name in the domain the trademark owner had claimed the domain. The point is I am not going to dispute that they legally do own the name in question, but it was part of a group of words. It also helped describe what was being sold on the site. When I got this domain I was actually surprised no one else had registered it including the trademark owner. In the end the site made a constant profit for about 6 months. The actual site can be rebuilt and re branded. The only thing is that the SEO that the site had built in the last 6 months are gone. Lesson learned is if you plan on building a site and spending time and money on it, make sure no one can just take your domain away.

April 1st, 2009Blogging, Random StuffWow 6 months have gone by and the this blog has grown by leaps and bounds. The orgiginal blog that I had hosted with GoDaddy.com on their blog platform just did not meet my needs. The platform did not allow for an changes and was not flexable at all like WordPress. The short story is I set up vendingmatic.info and moved all my contenet to this site. The old blog still stands at www.moneymyweb.com the theme is a mess and GoDaddy did not have any nice built in themes to use. If you set up a blog go with WordPress or Blogger. These are the best blog platforms in my book and they can be customized. Well let’s go hard for another 6 months. Everything I learn I want to pass it on to the readers of this blog.

March 30th, 2009Random StuffOne thing about affiliate marketing is that everyday I seem to create more projects. This is something I enjoy in this type of business. When you create a new project and see it end up with great results, just makes you want to get up in the morning.
The fun part is thinking up new ideas to promote an offer. When I used to sell on eBay as a Power Seller it was also fun to take pictures and write the product descriptions that help make sales. If you enjoy what you do then you will do well. When I feel overwhelmed I think to how lucky I am to be doing what I enjoy and on my own terms.Tags: Work -
