Woo Hoo! I have a 4 letter domain!
Thanks to the eagle eye of luckystar on the TaxLoopholes forum (http://www.TaxLoopholes.com), I picked up a 4 letter domain on eBay. We had a little bit of fun trying to figure out what it could actually be used for - it’s DKDB. So Diane Kennedy’s ____ ______ is definitely a possibility. I was surprised to [...]

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 [...]

July is typically a lot like June and August for my CPA business - slow. I’ve done this for a lot of years now and we always experience the summer doldrums. As soon as the kids go back to school, though - look out! It’s flat against the wall until next summer. I used to [...]

There is an area in the greater Phoenix area called “Queen’s Creek.” It’s too far from the center of town for me, but it’s a very nicely developed area. There are great schools, parks, good (but chain) restaurants and new houses. About 1 1/2 years ago when the market around here was exploding, a nice [...]

Tuesday, June 24, 2008
I’ve been a CPA now for about 25 years. In that time, I’ve seen a lot of different biz opps, investment strategies and out and out scams. One of the things people love or hate is MLMs or IBOs or Direct Selling or whatever it’s called. There is almost a kneejerk reaction to them. But, break [...]

The analytical part of me loves the Landing Page game for making money. The TrustSandwich(tm) campaign at www.TrustSandwich.com has been successful for views, downloads, and “send me more info” conversions. BUT we were getting 3′ to the goal line and not taking the ball over. We have over 500 people who needed a TS NOW, but [...]

I used to travel a lot. As I built up my database, I would take any speaking gig out there, it didn’t matter where. It was expensive (airfair, hotels, transportation) and the immediate income never covered the costs. In the seminar promoter world, I’ve discovered that there are two main schools of thought when it [...]

Tuesday, June 10, 2008
I have two very different landing pages up right now: www.LessTaxforDocs.com and www.TrustSandwich.com. Both have a profit potential. In the case of Less Tax (LTFD), I have a blog on a physician financial site and we are doing SEO. We’ve had very few hits BUT every single one of the has been a potential client [...]

My post about content has started a lively discussion in the virtual backroom at TaxLoopholes. Bill is searching out states and various specific income tax issues for the state. Megan is keeping up to date on sales tax and nexus issues. I’m watching regular income tax, estate tax and asset protection strategies. I’m now a [...]

Monday, June 2, 2008
I’ve become something of a Landing Pages nut lately. Every time I have a new sales campaign, I want a landing page. If I do an interview, I think, “Wait! I need a landing page to send people to…” The landing page gives you just 1 (or maybe 2) CTAs (call to actions) so it [...]
