Sunday Chores

*Yawn*  :yawn:

Can’t believe I woke up at one today.  12 hours of sleep and I’m still tired, and on top of that I had to wake up with a neck cramp too.  :irked:  Now I can’t turn all the way to the left without pain shooting into my eyeballs and screaming like a wild animal.

Ah well, at least I finished my latest blogging errands, including signing…..

Why I’ll Never Be An Affiliate Marketer

Based on my observations on how people make money online, one of the largest streams of income tend to come from affiliate marketing. I figured if I was ever going to make a living off the Internet myself, most of my attention and efforts would have to focus on generating commissions for affiliate programs I participate in.

After dabbling in this industry on and off for the past few months, I…..

How to Spot A Fake - A Case Study of Affiliate Related Spam

Black-hat affiliate marketers follow a common pattern in their efforts to liberate you of your money. Once they decide on a niche, they then sign up for the most lucrative affiliate programs that appeal to that particular niche, and then they’re off to work their dark magic.

You’re Being Lied To - Anatomy of an Affiliate Marketer

A while back I wrote an in-depth post on how an online scammer was promoting cures for ulcers, shingles, warts and whatnot, all packaged in eBooks you download for a fee.

It’s time to take that a little further and dissect how these scumbags run their games online, especially when they’re working as affiliate marketers.

One particular affiliate marketer recently clued his audience in on how he might…..

My Fate Hangs on 2008

In all my years on this planet, I don’t think I’ve ever kept a single New Year’s resolution. Doesn’t stop me from making them though. :D

Still, there’s something about the coming year that makes me think I may be in for something different this time. The number 8 is said to symbolize new beginnings, and man, after this awful stretch I’ve been in since the turn of…..

A Blogging Contest: Providing Backlinks for Logo Designs and Other Niches

I hate to get sucked into entering yet another blogging contest, especially when they are usually transparent efforts to build backlinks to their sites, but this one was too good to pass up.

David Airey is a graphic designer who, oddly enough, specializes in logo and graphic design, and is currently running a contest giving away $4,000 worth of prizes on his blog, which by the way…..

Holding Nothing Back: The quest to make blogging a permanent part of my daily routine

A guest blogger at JohnChow.com challenged the audience in commiting to writing at least one blogging post a day for 20 days. Apparently if you make something a part of your daily routine for about three weeks, it will eventually become a habit and thus a routine that will be easier to stick to.
