An Interesting Fact
I had my first child at 37 years old, after 16 years of being married. I quit my 20 year career as a bank manager and became a professional writer.
I did a call the other night about blogging, and one of the questions I was asked was, “How can I tell if someone else has already used the material I bought from an outsourcer?” I didn’t have a good web software or other source for that, and it bothered me. I’m known for having the answers, and when I’m asked a question I can’t answer fuly, well… I can’t rest until I find an answer and provide it.

I’ve been at this business for almost 6 years now, and have accumulated a ton of useful knowledge. I’m grateful for that, and just absolutely LOVE learning stuff — new stuff all the time. And I’m very lucky because working for Overcome Everything gets me lots of cool info that I couldn’t afford myself. It’s really a super perk of the job.
So, with all this stuff in my brain, I’m asked to do teleseminars often. I love that! Teleseminars are absolutely... Read Full Story
OK… Didn’t get those 10 comments, so… you lose. Can’t give you the rest of that really, really cool advice. But, I’ll give you another chance.

I’m doing a call about blogging for business with Rick Burdo for his Disabled Veterans Teleseminar Training Series tonight. I’m kicking things off!
So, if you’d like to hear what I have to say, along with 11 other smart speakers, including Tellman, Erik Stafford, Kyle Battis, Mike Purvis, Jeff Mi... Read Full Story
Something that comes up time and again in calls, in email, on the phone with clients is that they can’t get started because there’s so much stuff coming at them all the time from people whose lists they’ve joined. They’re overwhelmed and unhappy and why aren’t they making all the big bucks they’ve been promised?
OK… I get that. I’ve been in this game for almost 6 years now, and I felt the same way at the beginning when I was a newbie. But I want... Read Full Story
The question that gets asked most by new Internet marketers is, “What niche should I be in?” I think. They have ideas about what they’d like to do, but are concerned about whether or not it will be a “good” niche, and rightly so. Selling clothes for racoons probably isn’t a great idea.
What to do?
Research.
The first thing to do is to think about what you really like to do and what you can work on for hours and hours without becoming tired or bored. What... Read Full Story
Just got back into town after a whirlwind trip to New York City. Tellman took most of us up for the 2009 American Business Awards, affectionately known as the “Stevie Awards.”
It was pretty swanky. We stayed in the Marriot Marquis, which is right in the heart of Times Square. In fact, we could look out the window and see the whole corner… pretty nifty. (Click on the link to see our view.)
The sad part is that we didn’t win. <sniff> Oh, well… there’s ... Read Full Story
I’m so excited to have a friend of mine take the time to make a great video for my blog.

Ever have one of THOSE days? Well… I did today. Nothing seemed to have been done right… out of my hands… just a victim of getting others to do things for you and not following up. Who’s court is the ball in ultimately? Mine, of course.
Or, how about those days when you don’t see any sales, no optins, nothing working no matter how hard you try! I get that. Been there…
I have a friend who’s vlog will totally pick you up and set you on the straight road ... Read Full Story
I was over at SEO Book, reading Aaron Wall’s post from June 16, entitled “Expert SEO Testing: Usually Worthless,” and was surprised to learn that rel=”nofollow” no longer works. Matt Cutts, Google’s spokesperson, admitted that was true at the recent SMX Conference.
So, Wall linked to Danny Sullivan’s post “Google Loses “Backwards Compatibility” On Paid Link [...] Read Full Story
