Are you a niche marketer? If not, then get out of here, this isn’t for you. Go back to your corporate office job and stop trying to make money online. If you ARE a niche marketer (and you should be) then listen up, 'cause this deal’s going to BLOW YOUR MIND. Really, if your mind is still intact at the end of this post, let us know and we will all shave our heads and make videos of our spouses’ reactions. Read Full Story

When you are making videos for YouTube, sometimes you’ll want to include media loops for background or simply some interesting movement to add to your presentation.  Perhaps your digital camera is storing your videos in .avi or another format that is incompatible with your video-production software.  In many video programs, you’ll need to convert .avi or other formats to QuickTime’s .mov format.  I found an excellent media converter that not only works great, it’s free.

For a limited time, you can get Adrian Ling’s brand new Wordpress plugin that inserts Adsense products into your posts . The catch is that you need to buy a PLR package that Adrian is promoting. Here’s what Adrian says about the plugin, It’s different from the many free Amazon plugins out there. This one allows you to select from the various Amazon categories OR even drill down to specific product lines in Amazon. AND, it will automatically (and randomly) post to your wordpress...

Sociable and the other social bookmarking plugins were an excellent feature for Wordpress, and I installed them on every blog I own.  However, I found that very few visitors used them.  Part of it, I think, is because the buttons were kind of small and newbies didn’t quite know that they could link an article with social networking. Over at one of my busier and more controversial blogs, I decided to try the Digg Digg plugin, which has bigger buttons and uses only the social networks that... Read Full Story

The huge “Mage” launch has come and gone.  I’ve been using the plugin and the material from the “Adept” membership, which I’ve been happy with.  But when the huge launch came for the full blown software, I was impressed … but apprehensive.  It reminded me very much of the black hat days, when we were all building directories.  I personally prefer to have a bit more control over the quality of content in a site, but I have no doubt that the expert Mages are going to make a tidy sum of money...

Wow.  I have had WAY too much to do lately, as I am in the middle of moving offices and handling year end business stuff for my offline business. Anyway, I hope you had a good November and, if you celebrated Thanksgiving, an excellent holiday. Read Full Story

I will be changing the look of this site and using it to test the “Mage” affliate plug-in within the next day or two.  So if the site appears to be down or in maintenance mode, that’s what is happening. From what I have seen, Mage looks like a promising method to help people make some money online.  Stay tuned for more info! Read Full Story

Hey all!  I am out of town at the moment, so I don’t have much to report today. For those who are new here, however, I was reminded again of an excellent free video program that I wrote about many months ago.  As a matter of fact, I’ve just used it again while translating some audios for another site. Memories On Web has an easy-to-use interface that lets you add images, add and edit sound to go with the images, and then add special effects.  It will also create an .AVI file on the fly...

One of the reasons I don’t do a lot of promoting on free sites is because there’s no guarantee they’ll be around forever.  I am not saying not to do it … there is some benefit.  But there’s no long term guarantee. Yahoo had purchased GeoCities in 1999 for a whopping $3.57 billion, offering free web hosting that had advertisements on them.  The technology became outmoded with Facebook and other social networking sites. GeoCities was around for 15 years, dishing up some truly awful websites... Read Full Story
