Press Releases Lead to News
This week our restaurant will be featured in the counties local most popular newspaper, the Journal News. Yes, it’s offline BUT, it leads to an online write up on the paper’s website which means great high quality backlinks from an authoritative source with a high pagerank. Success!

The Process of Making Money Blogging
In this post, I will attempt to run through the basic process of making money online. Specifically, making money with your blog. I must also say that making money with your blog is not quick money.

Twitter: Hundreds of Followers in a Few Days
This post is not for the faint of heart. In fact, it is blackhat and spammy. Take what you want and use at your own risk. I personally don’t use these techniques anymore to get fake followers because my business is healthy. If you are starting a company from scratch, however, and need the quick social [...]
Stumbleupon Only Hype?
Stumbleupon is one of those bookmarking sites that you must use if you want more traffic to your website. The one caveat is the quality of the traffic is inherently not that “good”. If you publish a blog post then stumble it, you will see almost instant traffic. Reddit, Google Bookmarks, Delicious, Digg, are all [...]

Getting Clients by Showing Proof

Do What You Love – Part 2
Isn’t this guy super smart? How does this video relate to making money on the internet and blogging? I would say that it relates tremendously because you probably have some preconceived notion of the job you’re supposed to have, the life you’re supposed to lead. And somewhere along the way, “playing” online was taught to [...]

Tracking Website Visitors – Clicky v. Google Analytics

Key to Making Money on the Internet
Internet marketing can be summed up in one phrase: traffic and offers. Write that one down. For some reason it took me a while to figure that one out. I guess I thought it had to be more complicated than that. “That can’t be right, its too simple.” It is right. As a matter of [...]
