Perseverance is Gold – Failure is not an Option
Failure is Not an Option It’s been awhile since my last blog post and you may have been wondering where I’ve been? Did I give up CPA/Affiliate marketing? Did I retire and move off to some exotic country? No no, nothing like that. What I have been doing is grinding out (when I can find time after working full time and hanging out with family and friends) CPA campaigns and testing... [Read more]
Winning a Free Ipad w/YeahCPA.com
Here’s a little secret about my family. We are diametrically opposed to Apple products. We don’t own an Ipod, Ipad, or Iphone. We were one of those pro-Windows families that thought that Apple products were grossly overrated and over priced. Never in a million years would I ever think that would own an Apple Ipad 2. So what happened to bring about this change? Between the dates... [Read more]
Internet Marketing – What Exactly Do You Do?
I’ve been asked on multiple occasions “What Exactly Is It You Do Online With This Internet Marketing Stuff”? Well this is a very complicated question. It has so many answers on many levels.

Never Bid On The Word Facebook!
“Never Bid on the word “facebook” “. Okay that may have been a too rash of a statement. Facebook is a great place to meet and reconnect with friends and long lost family.

That being said, its also a great place to advertise your products... [Read more]

In any case with that being said, the month of March has been a great month. On top of the... [Read more]

January Earnings Report
Hey all I’m a little late posting this report. As you know January was a little bit of a slow month in comparison to the holiday rush in December.

Google Seo Case Study – Mid December Results
So I just wanted to check in to let you guys know how my SEO project is progressing. Well as a recap, at the end of November my website was experiencing the Google Dance.

November Online Marketing Earnings Report
It’s been a crazy month of November. I can’t believe how fast the month came and went. I started off the month with lofty goals to reach $10,000 in profit.

Google Seo Case Study
As many of you may be aware, getting a website ranked in Google for a set of competitive keyword can be both difficult and time consuming.
