If I died today, nobody would be able to log into my blog. I’ve suddenly realized that is an important problem that could become an urgent one in the blink of an eye. But wait. It gets worse. I own HUNDREDS of domain names, and have DOZENS of live, active websites. ...

Just when I thought I’d seen it all… I came across a website today for something called “Laughter Yoga”. My first question was, “What the heck is ‘laughter yoga’?” Turns out it’s exactly what it sounds like. People get together in a Yoga-class type setting, and they LAUGH. There’s even a “...

Yesterday (Monday, October 5, 2009) the US Federal Trade Commission rolled out a brand new rule: bloggers who endorse products must disclose any financial benefits they receive for doing so. Failure to live up to this rule could get bloggers fined up to $11,000. Per violation...

I figured it was only a matter of time. When this first came up months ago, it appeared mainly geared toward alternative health comps, but I was sure it would snowball into other areas.

In my opinion...Just another day in the office. Affiliate marketers will just have to comply by the rules and continue on. When there is a fork in the road..pull it out and eat your way through it...and for us who have affiliate programs, clearly state the FTC rules in your policy. That should be enough...I hope!?!

Friday in Allentown, a robber walks into a Wachovia bank branch in Allentown, PA. Intends to rob the place. Picks a 78-year old bank teller as his target. I guess he figured she would be a pushover. Boy was he wrong...

I’m reading a book about Teddy Roosevelt. So even though I’m busy preparing for our next “dollar webinar”, I wanted to share something with you I just read from President Roosevelt. Stick with me, Hoss – it’s worth it. If you’ve ...

What good is a “mastermind group”? Ask Darth Vader. I mean, for almost a DECADE we all thought Darth was the villain of Star Wars. And after more than 20 years in the making, the series of movies in the Star Wars saga tells the whole story. Darth Vader started out as a good guy. He...

Hi Ray - just read your tweet about your Fan Page, way cool idea!! :)

For sure add the Static FBML app (which allows you to paste in your own HTML), and use multiple iterations to include your opt-in box, Welcome page, Twitter button (see http://twitbuttons.com), etc. etc. Each tab has its own unique URL so you can spli...t test and/or use one tab for non-fans and one for fans. E.g. my fan page http://facebook.com/marismith goes to the Welcome tab for non fans. See also http://facebook.com/gary or http://facebook.com/target for other ideas.

Check out http://involver.com for great Facebook Page apps too!

A Forrester Research study recently revealed that companies who run contests, drawings, sweepstakes have TWICE as many social network fans as those who don't. Hmmmmm, food for thought!! :)

You might consider the sequence http://hootsuite.com > http://ping.fm > Twitter + Facebook Profile + Facebook Fan Page + LinkedIn etc. for *some* of your updates.

It’s quite a bit of work, and I’m happy to do it if you think it’s worthwhile.) Every piece of your website is a link in the sales chain. Each link ...
