New Digs

Richard — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 00:27:11 +0000

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.

See you at the new digs…

I have seen the future…

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!

Time Management

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.

Make Money While Vacuuming

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.

Dreams

Let me tell you, trying to make money with internet marketing is no cake walk. There is a ton of new stuff to learn, and it’s just flat out WORK… and it’s a ton of work, not just a little work.

But here’s the thing that keep me going…

Every hour I spend learning about and working on internet marketing is taking me one step closer to realizing my dream of working from home full time and having a better life. I have no doubt that I am going to make all my dreams come true with this stuff.

I’m literally making my dreams come true.

I think that is way cool.

Ed Dale

You gotta love Ed Dale.

Let me tell you, Ed Dale is a real mensch, a real stand-up guy. Here’s a guy who has made millions in internet marketing and instead of keeping his hard won knowledge to himself, he freely gives it away. In fact, he doesn’t just give it away, he spends countless hours and tons of his own money to make it EASY for other people to get this knowledge that can make you (and hopefully me) a millionaire. Truly amazing.

Like I said, you gotta love Ed Dale.

Thirty Day Challenge

Richard — Sat, 01 Aug 2009 13:37:03 +0000

Well, it’s finally here and I am pumped up! This year’s challenge is going to be awesome.

It’s funny because I’ve been so excited about the opportunity The Challenge provides and yet I’ve been feeling a little frustrated because I don’t seem to be able to communicate that to anyone else. Then I realized that it doesn’t matter. Whether or not we “hear” a message depends more on where we are at than on the message itself or how well it is delivered. I’m ready and eager for this message at that is all that really matters.

Thirty Day Challenge

Richard — Fri, 22 May 2009 02:36:18 +0000

The 2009 Thirty Day Challenge is about to start it’s pre-season runup to the big launch!

The Challenge officially starts, as always, on August 1st, and I am totally stoked! The pre-season starts June 1st so there is going to be two months to get ready and to get cranked up for what is sure to be a major event in internet marketing. If you’ve ever thought about making money online, you’d be a fool to pass up this opportunity.

I’ve been chipping away at learning internet marketing for a couple of years now and I have to admit that I haven’t been consistent in my efforts. I think that has been mostly due to frustration, which is not something I handle very well. I hate it when I feel clueless, and it sometimes takes me a long time to work myself up to the point where I can push through the frustration and get on with the job.

So, anyway, I’m really looking forward to this years challenge because I think I finally have enough experience and knowledge to hit the ground running, so to speak, and really take full advantage of this amazing opportunity.

New Site – Time to Go Back to School

Richard — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 01:38:05 +0000

Got the new site going and I’m pretty happy with how this new theme works to make a very professional looking site.

The Princess Rings Shop

Now we’ll just have to see if I can get some traffic. The Archery Hunting Equilment site is doing relatively well, so I think I need to redo it with the new theme and then start promoting it better.

I’m also feeling like it is time to concentrate on studying Internet Margeting techniques again. I’ve passed up tons of info from Stomper and I am particularly eager to check out all the stuff I’ve gotten from WordpressDirect.

So I’m going to do the social bookmarking thing for The Princess Ring Shop and then go back to school for a while.

Using the combination of What’s Hot at eBay and Market Samurai to research keywords and then all my site building tricks makes me fell like I have a good understanding of this particular internet marketing niche.

The Happy Dog

Richard — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 05:31:53 +0000

The first time I had a go at the 30 Day Challenge I was incredibly lost. I ended up buying a domian name that was completely wrong for what I had in mind and so it has been sitting undeveloped for more than a year.

So I finally decided to get it going using my favorite eBay affiliate software (phpBay Pro) and a new theme I actually paid money for. The site ended up being more than sixty pages because of all the categories, but right now I think it looks pretty good. I’m sure in a week I willl hate it.

Here is my new (old) site just chock full of dog supplies and dog collar supplies: The Happy Dog

I have no idea if I will be able to draw any traffic, the whole site was really nothing more than a proof of concept, but I am encouraged by the results and I have learned a lot about how to better use this theme.

I just bought a new domain tonight and so I will have to build that site out, but I think I am also ready to do more training and so I need to review the WordpressDirect disk I have as well as catch up in the worlds of Stompernet and Ed Dale.

Onward and upward!
