Finally, I did it. I was really hoping it would happen this year and it just squeezed in on the second day before the new year. I made it over 1000 on my RSS Feedburner counter.
Now while I can’t boast Steve Pavlina numbers I’m really happy with how things have grown here at Entrepreneur’s Journey. My goal was … Read the rest of this entry »
A super big thank you to John Richardson from Success Begins Today for including Entrepreneur’s Journey in his Blog Success Awards for 2005 along with some of my own favourite bloggers like Steve Pavlina.
Since John gave me the title “Best Search Engine Blog” I feel it’s appropriate to point out that making a blog post praising other … Read the rest of this entry »
I created a bit of a buzz in the blogosphere when I posted my article – No More AdSense – promoting the fact that I decided to strip all the AdSense ads from this blog and lamenting, in a perhaps overtly emotional way, the evils of chasing the dollar with AdSense. It’s easy to say no to AdSense when … Read the rest of this entry »
I just unsubscribed from two email lists. One was from a well established online marketer with credibility and a huge following. I never purchased from him but I joined his email list to test him out. After submitting my address I was immediately sent a bunch of materials and a lengthy email. I saved them for reading later. A … Read the rest of this entry »
My article – Small Business Branding – It’s Not “We,” It’s “Me” - is doing the blog carnival rounds this week (what’s a blog carnival you ask? Read Entrepreneur’s Journey At The Carnival to find out).
I’ve found that submitting one of my best articles to the two major business carnivals is definitely a good promotional tool to gain … Read the rest of this entry »

I hope everyone following the Christmas tradition had a good day and a happy Hanukkah for my Jewish friends celebrating too! Most of you are probably on vacation from work but I’m sure there are a few hardcore bloggers and entrepreneurs out there still sitting behind the computer making things happen, just like me.
I had lunch with my … Read the rest of this entry »

Yesterday morning Michael Pollock skyped me. I thought he was going to offer some feedback on my last article titled – Small Business Branding – It’s Not We, It’s Me – since he manages the SmallBusinessBranding.com site and clearly this article covered an area of his interest. However I was incorrect, he was in fact looking for some feedback … Read the rest of this entry »
I came through business school with a very “corporatized” feeling of how business works. Most of the textbooks at university are written with big business as case studies and examples to demonstrate the theories. I felt that in order to run a business, even a small business, you should project the attitude of a big business. If you are … Read the rest of this entry »

I am an Australian and I often use Google Australia, which provides the option of searching the global web or pages from Australia only. Most large countries have a similar option on their local Google site.
Running an international online business with the capability to service people from any country means that you want your site to perform … Read the rest of this entry »

Back when I was in charge of MTGParadise.com I managed a successful charity drive each year. The goal of the program initially was to raise enough funds to sponsor a one … Read the rest of this entry »
I’m going to be brutally honest with you – I don’t like Google AdSense. I admire what Google has created with the AdWords/AdSense program. I admire those bloggers and website owners that make thousands of dollars from AdSense. I intend to one day draw extensive income from AdSense as I build a website portfolio, but for Entrepreneur’s Journey AdSense … Read the rest of this entry »
I recently made one aspect of my online business more efficient. This technique demonstrates the power of an email autoresponder. In this case I turned something that used to be a relatively mundane manual business annoyance into a resource. Best of all it took about 10 minutes to get set-up and it’s been doing a great job ever since.… Read the rest of this entry »

I had a journalist from a local Australian paper contact me with some questions about my podcast and podcasting in general. I’ve just attended to the questions and thought some of you my be interested in my responses especially if you are considering starting up your own podcast.

After my recent complaints regarding fraudsters not paying their bills and lying and cheating to get more free work out of my business (sheesh, that angry emotion just doesn’t die easily does it!) I think this story is a nice counter-balance and should even up the karma a little bit. This is how business is meant to work.
A couple of weeks ago I attended a small course on AdWords run in Brisbane as part of an Australia wide Google University tour. The course was split into two parts, one for beginners and one for advanced. The course turned out to be quite good. I was surprised how “hard” the beginner course was – if there were … Read the rest of this entry »
