One of the most valuable, free, and overlooked forms of marketing and advertising is commenting on blogs. We state it over and over at the end of every post we make, and while many take us up on the offer, there are hundreds if not thousands who visit and completely miss the boat.

Below, we’ve inserted a video that will give you complete and meaningful instructions on how to choose the right blogs to comment on, why, and the tools to set this all up to make your life a whole lot easier (and all the tools are free). (more…)

If you’re a new reader or returning reader (thank you!) to our blog, you know we love to bring you top quality opportunities.

From the advertiser’s standpoint, we enjoy recommending the best ways and means to market yourself and your programs, products, and services.

For bloggers, hey, very few of us would not like to get paid for the work we do, right?

Well, the best of both worlds is combined in Payingpost. (more…)

On Thursday, November 20th, while watching The Rachel Maddow Show, Rachel interviewed the author of Outliers, Malcolm Gladwell. Now, of course, she put it in a political context, but actually the book itself is not.

Having the ability (real talent) for success is a component, but it is not the be all and end all: (more…)

One of our “tenets” in our tag line for this blog includes “hot topic news” and this most certainly fits the bill. Please read on!

I must be having withdrawal symptoms since my favorite MSNBC news shows air only Monday through Friday. So it’s digging deep into our local, “switch sides every other day” (sound familiar?) local newspaper, The Las Vegas Review Journal that grabbed my attention this morning.

Actually much of the following - other than my own two cents - comes from a section of the paper, the Las Vegas Sun (don’t ask me what their relationship is - but the one does stick in parts of the other). And, just so you know up front, the Las Vegas Sun endorses Obama.

The first tidbit I’d like to share is along the lines of “is wealth distributed properly in this country.”

Here’s a shocker for all us working “Joes and Janes” (thanks Palin) - from Sunday’s Parade Magazine:

Okay, before you actually start looking for a picture, the title is merely that… the title of the post. However, it does serve a purpose.

If you read the post prior to this, you’re already aware of the discussion about “spreading the wealth.” Since it’s Saturday, and sort of a free-for-all day to make posts, I’m pursuing this subject a tad longer.

In today’s Las Vegas Review Journal, an article about McCain stumping in Colorado is on the front page. The portion that caught my eye was this: (more…)

We’ve written on and off about the power of using your own skills to generate the cash flow you’ve been hoping to achieve. Our own tests of services like SocialSpark prove there is money to be made using your own skills - at any level. Now here’s further proof that the law of supply and demand online is still going strong. (more…)

Yesterday I promised you a truly eye-opening and heartwarming story for this post, but first my recap (rant) of what went down last night during the Vice Presidential debate. As we gathered our pizza boxes and drinks and settled down with an atmosphere not unlike the Super Bowl, here’s my conclusions:

First off, my understanding ever since grade school (no earlier, ever since the first time your parents asked you a direct question), you answer the question. Only kids and people with something to hide dodge a direct question. Frankly, even in marketing, it’s best to say, “I do not know, but I will find out the answer for you!” then to pretend you are either answering it or worse yet saying, “I don’t want to answer that question, instead I want to talk about…”

I wasn’t expecting rocket science from Palin, (more…)

Not that long ago, it was acceptable to stumble one’s own post to get the ball rolling in Stumbleupon. However, the rules of the game are changing as detailed here:

StumbleUpon Has Updated Its Algorithms

If by chance you have been found wanting by the SU team, never fear there is a way to get back into their good graces. Here’s just a few excerpts from the post (linked above): (more…)
