WTF Is Twitter Good For?

twitter-logo.gifWTF Is Twitter Good For, seriously? I have a home phone, cell phone, email address, fax machine, instant messengers (Yahoo, MSN, ICQ, AOL, Trillian) and now I need Twitter to keep in contact with people ? Umm yeah, talk about communication overload. 10 years ago I had nothing, if you wanted to reach you would call me. Oh and then you have FaceBook, ,MySpace and all the rest of the networking B.S, lol.

Twitter is basically the instant message concept repackaged, good marketing strategy? All the sheep will follow and the Twitter founders will become wealthy from ad revenue and then they sell their company for $500 million, to AOL or Google lol.

Note to self: Think for yourself and don’t follow the sheep crowd, let them follow you instead…

Why do I have a blog? I’ll Tell Ya

Why do I have a blog? Hmm… I was thinking about that this afternoon for a second. The reason I write and even maintain a blog is pretty simple. I like to write out my goals and also I like to think out my thoughts and write them down. When I blog about my goals, it helps me to focus on what I want. I consider this blog a map to success, it forces me to really think about what I want from life and how I want to get there.

Another reason I blog is that it’s fun, it’s a stress relief. For me this blog is a place to bitch about everything from Google AdWords to my daily life. Actually this blog makes me lots of money, not because of the money I make from this blog. I make money because I write down my goals on this blog and I believe that the law of attraction works it’s magic and I get what I ask for. Simple but very, very powerful.

I almost always reach my goals, by the date that I want them to happen. I believe in myself and I believe in the law of attraction.

Now my question to you is this, why do YOU blog?

Google AdWords UpDate – My Ads Are Running Again

Last week I had a problem with my Google ads being flagged as “Adult Content”, which was a mistake by Google but they refused to give real answers as to why it was flagged “Adult”. In my post I mentioned that if I resubmitted the ad as it was, it would probably get approved and begin running again. Well….. that is exactly what happened and I am happy to say that someone at Google actually approved the ad, the way it should have been done last week! smily.jpg smily.jpg

Those donkeys can be very clueless and usless. So here is my tip if your ad doesnt get approved look at your website, your ad, and then talk to an AdWords Specialist Idiot. If you can’t get Google to fix your problem and you know it should be running on Google, then just resubmit the ad again. Simple but stupid. I’m sure I lost at least $1000 if not more because of one of my ads wasn’t running but that is life online with the “Big G”.smily.jpg

How Bad Do You Want To Be Rich?

wanto-to-be-rich.jpgHow Bad Do You Want To Be Rich? It’s a simple question, but most don’t have what it takes. Most people like the idea of being rich, but when it comes down to work ethic they don’t have it. You need to ask yourself why do you want to be rich.

Personally for me my goal is to retire very early, 40 years of age. The reason I want wealth is simple, I want to enjoy my life. If you are stuck working at a job 8 hours a day 5 days a week there is much less time to enjoy your life. People don’t seem to realize that then 9-5 grind is a recent development, less than 80 years old.

I “work to live, not live to work”, even though I spend 12 or more hours in front of the computer my hours are going down. As I mentioned in my about page I want to buy real estate (which I have been doing for 5 years now) , so in the next few years I won’t have to work at all. IF.. If I do work, it will be because I enjoy it. I’m basically at that point in my life right now. I am working because I love the challenge of affiliate marketing and the satisfaction of reaching my goals (the money doesn’t hurt either, lol).

Another reason I want to be rich is to make 100% sure my family (wife, daughter & unborn child) are completely taken care of. That is already possible from the rental income I get from my properties, but one goal is to get $20,00o in monthly rental income, right now I am at about $5000 per month (25% of the way there).

The reason I want to be rich is simple, security for my family and enjoying a stress free life.

Ask Yourself The Following Questions:

  1. Why do you want to be rich?
  2. Do you have what it takes?
  3. What are you doing to reach your goals?

You want to be wealthy right? Write down the reasons that you want wealth, write down your goals (set a date for when you want to reach x amount of $). Make your goals realistic and be HONEST with yourself. Don’t write down $1,000,0000 by July if you know it probably won’t happen. Don’t lie to yourself. Always be honest, and be grateful for what you already have.

If you don’t know about the law of attraction then you need to read  Steve Pavlina’s article. To make it really quick, whatever you think about expands and becomes your reality. If you constantly think about the debts you need to pay you will get even more debt. If you think of ways to make money, then you will then have in your life ways to make money which will result in wealth. Focuson what you want, NOT what you don’t want, simple. Go read the Law Of Attraction article now.

Good luck and email me if you have any questions.  C.V.

Google Stock On Big Decline, Will It Affect PPC Marketing?

Google stock has been on a huge drop since November 2007 it has fallen from $747.24 a share in November to only $428.08 on March 28, 2008. It is down 6% from it’s high of $747. Apparently Google’s stock price has been declined after a researcher said clicks on Google’s advertising sponsored links fell last month.

As a pay per click advertiser on Google, how does this affect me?

I asked myself that question. I’m not really sure if it’s only Google that has less clicks on their search network or are MSN and Yahoo on the decline as well? One thing that comes to mind is maybe they will be more lenient with ads on their network since they want more clicks and they want their stock to rise. It could be better for PPC advertisers, but who knows? Google are crazy Nazi’s when it comes to promoting on the search engine. You need to jump through a ton of hoops sometimes in order to have have and keeps your sponsored ads running.

Also, will Google’s stock continue to drop and it if does then what?
