Is Affiliate Marketing Just an Accelerated Business Model?
One of the challenges that I hear again and again from my clients that are affiliate marketers is that as soon as everything is going great, the model changes. I’ve seen Google change the way they pay. And, they keep refining the model on how the use SEO. All designed to shut down many of [...]

Tuesday, September 2, 2008
Part of having a successful business means being able to always have a Plan B ready to go. I think we may be on to Plan D already after last week. A big part of the BusinessToInvestment challenge is the websites. And that means I rely heavily on Jorge’s crew at LatAmConnect. Last week, Jorge was [...]

My husband Richard is a semi-reformed microelectronic engineer. He has a PhD in ceramics and worked with semi-conductors. (Little pun there) Around here we have a saying “Shoot the engineer and ship the product” That’s because some engineers (like my husband, who I adore) will keep tweaking until the day they die. They are never finished. [...]

I’m going to start off this post with telling you what my family did last night. Hang in there, I think it will all make sense in the end. We’re spending more time in San Diego these days. We have a place that’s a half block from a secluded beach. Only the neighbors seem to [...]

I often run into first time business owners who are trying desperately to break out of their W-2 lifestyles. In fact, they’re going to try EVERYTHING! They start a service business (typically taking the skill they are employed for and turning it into something they can be self-employed at), dabble in real estate, set up [...]

I’ve spent the last few days getting ready for the seminar this weekend (Loopholes of the Rich Charity Weekend) and in meetings, meetings, meetings. We’re refining and expanding our TaxLoopholes brand. That will probably be a 3 month project that I’ll keep you posted on. For BusinessToInvestment (B-I), the Million Dollar Journey, I’ve gotten side-tracked with all [...]

Early on in this challenge, Jorge posted an article on 29 ways to make money on the Internet. At the time, I remember thinking that it was so easy to just make money out of “nothing” (or rather just the flow of electrons). Now, 3 months into this project, I find that I’m again reassessing [...]

Saturday, July 12, 2008
Remember back in the old days when a website was a website? I was listening to a pod cast (who knew what that was 5 years ago?) about Internet Marketing strategies this morning. The good news was not only did I understand every single word he said, I thought his material was basic. That’s progress [...]

For those of you that know me, even if it’s just through this blog and the one at TaxLoopholes,you know that I hate to recommend anything unless I’ve thoroughly researched it. A while ago I started researching direct sales companies. I’ve seen the model work, again and again. For people who work the plan for 4-5 [...]

I didn’t post yesterday not because I didn’t have anything to say, but because I had TOO MUCH to say and couldn’t focus. That’s a common issue for me, though. I think it has something to do with being a big QuickStart. **If you haven’t taken your Kolbe test yet, I really recommend it. Everyone [...]
