Recently I had the privilege, and a great privilege it is, to watch It’s a Wonderful Life with my family again. My wife was next to me, and our three oldest children: 17, 14 and 12, with our wee little ones tucked away in bed. As we watched the angels discussing what to do about George Bailey, played by the memorable and matchless Jimmy Stewart, it struck me what they discussed. If you’re not familiar…

How Not To Make Money Online – The Death of 1,000 Ideas
I’ve worked for and alongside a number of business people in my time, from entrepreneurs to corporate middle men (and women). The main difference between the billion-dollar corporations and the business owners was often the presence or absence of systems. Entrepreneurs, to a fault, are always re-inventing the wheel: testing…innovating…trail-blazing… And too many of them – online and off – are dying the death of 1,000 ideas. Much like the “death of 1,000 cuts,” it’s…
Latest News On My MMO Book
[I]‘ve got good and bad news about my proposed “making money online” ebook. First the good news: I really want to put it together as a series of smaller books. I mentioned that a while back and this way you only buy what you need help with. It’s no skin off my back either way – those who want to buy the whole thing can do so for a lower cost than the individual, ala…
My Banned Warrior Forum Thread – A Dear Newbies Letter

This is my banned Warrior Forum thread which I talked about in this post. Think you can explain to me why it was banned, considering the admins didn’t bother to respond to my emails? Besides inviting a conversation, I’m posting it for the few people who began reading it, and who thanked me for it – only to discover it was removed within 15 minutes of posting. What does banning this post say about the…
A Candid Look at Self-Publishing Online

If I can summarize the experience of writing the book that is now being edited (by yours truly, my worst critic), I’d use words like grueling, nerve-wracking, agonizing and rewarding. As a writer at heart, not someone who looks at the art of framing words on a screen or page as an exercise of the dark arts or a job best farmed out at $3 a page, it’s deeply fulfilling. But man alive, this is…
Announcing a New Project – My Prequel Ebook

What is a prequel ebook? In my case, it’s an ebook that I didn’t plan on releasing but it’s required reading for my ebook to really be beneficial when it releases later this year. This may seem like a strange announcement to make, but since I told everyone that my list would get the ebook first and at a deal (this remains the case here) – I wanted to differentiate the two. Key differences between…

Top 10 Things Not To Do On Vacation
Making money online has its rewards – one of which is an extended (paid) vacation. Say what? It’s still something I have to come to terms with myself: earning a passive income online means freedom: live where you want, work when you want…and come home when you’re done. Not being a big vacationer as of yet (this being only my 2nd paid vacation in 2011, 2 paid vacations in over 5 years) – I had…
Make Money Online Business Plan – Profit Autopilot
I build quality websites. I write quality posts on them – actually think about my audience and you know what? It seems to pay the bills in spades. It works too well – and my “make money online business plan” runs on autopilot. I call it the Profit Autopilot system just because people will sit up and take notice if you give things semi-rhyming titles. I also couldn’t think of what rhymed with “profit” that…
February 2011 Passive Income Earnings

February is a shortish month, I was worried that because of the 28 days I wouldn’t have much to report – and I’m still sort of totally ignoring AdSense at the moment except where I’m building link wheels. Hubpages and other properties are all getting the majority of my AdSense efforts – and they’re not monumental at the moment. That will change as I try increasing my AdSense earnings later this year, it’s really not…
