I just won a 40in Sony LCD TV in an affiliate competition, and that wasn’t even first place. In another competition this month I won a Rolex watch. During this year I won a Apple iTouch and some other prizes.
In July when I reopened Blog Mastermind, I ran an affiliate competition for my partners, giving away top 10 … Read the rest of this entry »

Gobala Krishnan, one of my favorite Asian Internet marketers and one of my top selling affiliates for Blog Mastermind (I’ve sent him several hundred dollars worth of commissions every month for a year now) just released a brand new course Super Affiliate Blogger.
I have to admit I’m a bit ticked off that he’s done this because … Read the rest of this entry »

Back in December 07 I closed the doors to Blog Mastermind. The reason I did so was to upgrade the back-end system that delivered the course and the affiliate program. I’m pleased to say the upgrade is done.
I’m in Toronto now. … Read the rest of this entry »
I’m in the middle of madly recording some videos so I don’t have to worry about video set-up while island hopping from Brisbane to Fiji to Hawaii then on to Canada. It’s crazy all the things you have to do when you leave home for six months.
I have a great post coming up later this week on the … Read the rest of this entry »

I’ve been affiliate marketer for almost as long as I have been a blogger and it’s amazing how much you learn as you go along.
I was very frustrated by nearly all of the affiliate promotions run on my blog during the first two years or so. Each time I published a blog post that focused on an affiliate … Read the rest of this entry »
When I posted my September blog earnings of $10,899.83 a few readers replied asking for advice with affiliate marketing. Given nearly $4,400 of that income was from affiliate sales – the largest single source of income – it’s easy to understand why people want further explanation in this area.
I’ll be frank with you, the area I make money … Read the rest of this entry »
A few months ago the very first person approached me wanting to advertise a certain affiliate program on my blog. I didn’t realize it at the time, but the program in question would go on to become probably the most advertised program I have ever seen in the make money online niche, the banners for it are EVERYWHERE.
I’ve been thinking about this all last week and I’ve decided to make some changes to this blog. In response to the Google PageRank penalty slapping, which in my case dropped this blog from a PR 6 to a PR 3, I have decided to adhere to Google’s demands.
I am no longer selling text links via the … Read the rest of this entry »
I was logged into my Facebook account the other day and a notice popped up telling me that Facebook Flyers, the internal self-service advertising system inside Facebook, had released a new version where you only pay per click.
Yes, that’s right, a pay per click advertising system to target the highly lucrative Facebook userbase. It’s called Flyers Pro and … Read the rest of this entry »

Back in March of this year, 2007, I reported my blogging income of $6549.52. September, while a slower month for net usage because the northern hemisphere is wrapping up the holiday period (people go outside when the weather is nice instead of sit inside on their computers, thus reducing traffic and income from some advertising programs), turned out … Read the rest of this entry »
I just can’t seem to get it right about this whole PageRank update thing. First I thought PageRank was updating, then I noticed it was just some sites dropping in PR, then I thought it was updating again when this blog dropped from a 6 to a 5, but now it seems it could have just been a … Read the rest of this entry »
