I’m in DC this weekend at Yanik Silver’s Underground Seminar 6. This is my first time attending an Underground event and I’ve been impressed with the quality of content and the caliber of people that it draws.
This is definitely an event I would recommend if you’re looking to take your online business to the next [...]
I’ve often said there are 3 good ways to choose a niche for an online business. But today I want to give you another idea – a 4th way that just may get you past your niche-discovery hurdle for good…
The most popular advice is to “do what you love”, or go with a niche you [...]
About 80% of your blog’s success comes from “ass in chair” time. That’s the time you spend writing posts, editing posts, finding the perfect image, connecting with fellow bloggers, answering comments, shaping up your SEO, and all the other tasks we teach you about here on Copyblogger.
You’ve got to get that stuff right. But great [...]
I’ve written a few contrarian things lately.
Specifically, I ranted a bit about why I think the most common “make money online” technique doesn’t work for most people, and about how, really, the most important ingredients of success are persistence and grit.

I finally unboxed my newest office gadget, a wireless printer I ordered online from Amazon:
HP OfficeJet 6500 All-In-One Wireless Printer/Fax/Copier

The cool thing is, it [...]

A 40 year-old unsolved murder mystery. Strange cryptic codes in a bible. Sweden, sandwiches, and many, many cigarettes. The badass-est female protagonist since . . . forever. And an author who has, posthumously, caused quite a ruckus in the book world and in the minds of conspiracy theorists everywhere.
Yes, I’m talking about The Girl With [...]
Kimmoy asks: I remember thinking during the lanch of the NAMS product, so many of us were posting affiliate links. What if a person clicks on one or more of our aff links, who gets the credit? (1st or last click?)
Also, if I sent someone a link to one Amazon product, they didn’t [...]
There’s a wonderful European-style market and bakery in the Oak Lawn area of Dallas. They serve everything from made-to-order salads and sandwiches to chef-prepared, ready-to-eat meals.
But what I love most about the place is the sign on the door when you leave. It’s classic.
