This is a video that I like to watch when I need a little reminder of why I’m working as hard as I am.   I don’t have any aspirations of becoming a movie star but have applied some of these principles to help me with some of my smaller goals.

It’s a long video but well worth [...]

Post written by Leo Babauta.

One of the best things I did when I decided to simplify my life was to simplify my workday — first at my day job and later, by quitting my day job, in the work I do now as a writer and entrepreneur.

I’ve eliminated most of the routine, boring, administrative tasks [...]

In the past week, I have had several chats with close friends, family and peers.

As things in life seem to get a little tighter for the folks around me,  it seems as though the main theme has been centered on “not giving up” vs “caving in”.

In the past 12 months the economy has set a [...]

After speaking with a colleague this afternoon, I recommend that she read “Who Moved My Cheese”

It’s a personal favorite of mine and it has been in my arsenal for years.   If you are in the middle of making a hard decision and you are wondering if you might fail, then this is a book that [...]

The Amazon Associates Team has just added a nifty new feature that should help build links with ease.  It’s called Site Stripe.

It allows you to surf Amazon and build a link to that page on the fly.   It will also give you earning updates througout the course of the day.  It’s certainly an alternative to [...]

You’ve heard me brag about Clickbank and you already Know how I feel about Amazon and Ebay.   Imagine if you could build a store instantly using these affiliates as well as YouTube to market your niche across the web!

The program is called StoreStacker and it’s pretty amazing.   I’ve dipped my hands into BANS but StoreStacker [...]

I’ll admit it.  I have a domain fetish.  Sometimes an idea comes to me and well, sometimes it’s not so easy.   If I have a product idea but not a domain to go with it, I turn to BustAName.com.

Bustaname.com is great for brainstorming compound domain names.   They will automatically put words together and [...]

Ok guys, this is the last clickbank check that i’ll be posting on my site.  You’re probably getting tired of these web checks anyway.   I opened up some business mail today and just couldn’t resist.

This is my last check not because I’m quitting the business but because Clickbank is now offering direct deposit.

Everyone knows that [...]

Amazon has always been one of my favorite affiliate programs and after recently getting into video, the timing couldn’t be better.

You can use videos that you already have or create brand new videos to promote the products you really love.

For my tester video, I used the couscous recipe video I posted a few days ago [...]

So, I finally did my first video post. As most of you know, to stay healthy, I have been on a serious couscous kick.  It has gotten so serious that about a year ago I started a couscous recipe blog to document the recipes I have found online.

Although the site is monetized, the [...]

I got a call today from Kyle over at Market Leverage. It was a typical publisher question and answer session which ended with him approving my application!

They have been receiving a heavy buzz from many top tier affiliates and I did not want to miss any opportunities to make additional money.

A while back [...]

Still doubtful that you can make money online?  If you have a product that you believe in, then you can earn money online.

The case study started on May 26 (less than two weeks ago) and I challenged myself to make something out of nothing.  Would you like to make $20.88 (or more) in one day?

The Flip Mino, a pint-sized but more powerful companion to the so-easy-your-grandma-will-be-a- YouTube-star Ultra, is now official. We already saw the $180 mini-cam in a fuzzy picture, but now we know that although it carries 2GB of on-board flash for 60 minutes of VGA-quality recording like the Ultra, it’s 40% smaller—a scant 4” x 2” [...]

Going from nothing to number one for a search term on a new domain is always something to be happy about.   Since this is more of a learning tool, we wont be popping out the champaign quite yet though.  This screen shot is for learning purposes only.  The first rule is…  never brag about being [...]

After 6 days from purchase my new test site is now listed on google.  This was done organically without using any blackhat techniques, paying a seo specialist or subscribing to a link swapping site.

Tip number one is to just simply ask google to be listed by submitting your url here.

Tip number two is to add [...]

Even though I really try to save this blog from falling in the category of a “make money online” site, making money online topics are what I get emailed about the most.

I’m not an expert and mostly everything I know about earning online income came from trial and error.

I recently got an email asking for [...]

My biggest online money maker is clickbank. Often times when people see this check, they immediately ask for a step by step run down of how to make money with clickbank.

My job just got easier with CBPayDay.
