My old commercial hosting company, Hostnine, made some sort of change to their servers and all of my eBay sites suddenly stopped working. I tried working with their tech support but it was useless so I moved everything to Hostgator and I’m happy with the move.
I’ve also had a new personal domain for a while and I’ve finally decided to move this blog to the new address: http://richardmoose.net
Maybe I’ll have some sort of “grand opening” for the new place…. or not. Anyway, this will be my last post at this address until I decide what to do with this domain. I have a feeling it is going to be a brother to my other dog site.
I’ve tried the Wordpress App on my Touch and I’ve used Safari to just log into my desktop and I have to say that typing on the Touch is such a PITA that I’d rather not use either one. But if I had to choose between them, I’d say that I really like the familiar look and feel of using Safari, but the ease of use on the small platform vote has to go to the App. Which is pretty much what you would expect.
So I’m dull and I have nothing of value to add to the conversation.
Back in August, I wrote this post: Why I Love the Net So at that time, Danielle was just a random girl on YouTube who I thought was talented and cute and cool. Then, 3 months later, Danielle says “Hi Richard” to me from the stage at a performance in Los Angeles. After the show, I get a picture and a hug. I love the net.
Sometimes the sheer weight of all the hype being spewed at me every day from all the mailing lists I’m on gets depressing. I archive most of it without even reading it. I have so much on my plate now, the last thing I need is a “new” “secret” marketing “system.”
But I got an email from a guy who very rarely sends out to his list. It’s a guy who built some software I use for my eBay marketing campaigns. He was pimping a program by a guy who I recognize from the software forums. Well, let me tell you…. this guy has it figured out! I am so down with his business model that I can’t wait to get started using it!
I have seen my future and it’s name is Mage… this guy has rethought the whole process and when I was watching the videos, it so obviously made sense to me that I couldn’t believe it! This method isn’t for everyone, but there is no doubt it is perfect for me! I am fucking stoked!
Between the Thirty Day Challenge and The Immediate Edge trial, it seems like I’ve been spending all my time learning about marketing instead of actually doing any marketing. But now the time has come to start working on my sites again and start putting all this new knowledge into practice. More than ever I really feel like I finally have all the pieces to the puzzle and now I just need to work on putting it all together.
One of the things I have planned is to move this blog to a new address. I need to learn how to do that so I can more easily sell off some of my sites and what better way to learn than with a non-commercial site that isn’t really keyword dependent.
I’m excited with all the Immediate Edge content I was able to grab and I’m really looking forward to working my way through it. It’s time for me to step up my game and start making some serious cash. Making a small amount of money online is pretty easy, but getting into the big leagues is a real challenge.
I was bummed at first when I discovered that all the content in the Thirty Day Challenge Plus is delivered as podcasts. I simply can’t sit at my computer and listen to a podcast. But I eventually put two and two together and had the brilliant idea to load the podcasts onto my iPod (who else could have thought of such a thing) and now I listen to them while driving or doing housework. Ed talks about this idea in one of the podcasts and it’s working brilliantly for me.
We got tuned up for the show by watching Danielle’s videos. They’re very fun. It’s that smart funny thing. Very appealing.
I shot some video of us goofing around before leaving for the coffee house. It’s been torched.
Here’s the first video, when I was still suffering from the delusion that the videos were somehow about me. It wasn’t until I finished the second video that I recovered my senses and realized it was all about Danielle. As it should be. What an amazing talent. Her voice is magic.
Before the show, Danielle visited with her fans and sat with Chris and I and a couple of fans and chatted with us. She was just as down to Earth as you would expect.
It is one of life’s golden pleasures to be able to sit and listen to a really good musician play and sing live. Danielle made us feel like we were just hanging out in the living room. Her voice is pure and powerful and she uses it to break your heart and to make you laugh, but mostly you just feel good listening to her.
I’m going down to San Diego tomorrow to see my buddy, Chris and we’re going to see Danielle Ate the Sandwich at a coffee house. I’m looking forward to it. Her videos are amazing and I’m sure the “personal” experience is going to be interesting. I’m planning to buy both of her CDs and if she has t-shirts I’m sure I’ll get one of those as well. I want to help her keep going. What a talent.
I think this girl is brilliant and I never would have had the pleasure of experiencing her talent if it weren’t for the net. God bless you one and all.
