A Busy Weekend In My Office

I thought it might be fun to take a picture of what my desk looks like as I work towards my upcoming product launch:

Believe it or not, everything you see in that picture serves a purpose and I can tell you what it is and why it is there. Yes, that includes the bottle of [...]

Are The Storm Worm People Finally Coming Clean?

There has been a new round of emails (with Valentine’s Day “love” themes) making the rounds lately.
IF YOU RECEIVE AN UNEXPECTED EMAIL, DELETE IT. NEVER CLICK ON A LINK IN AN UNEXPECTED EMAIL, EVEN IF YOU RECOGNIZE THE SENDER.
With that STRONG disclaimer out of the way…
One particular Storm Worm email I received today touched my [...]

The “dofollow” Movement

Aaron Anderson has decided to stop using “nofollow” tags on blog comments. You got it right, Aaron.
“Nofollow” is not natural. The Internet, also known as the World Wide Web, is just that: a web. Interconnected. It is *SUPPOSED* to have links.
Page rank bleed? Only Google cares. I don’t build my pages for Larry and Sergei; [...]

Hill Robertson: A Man Who Displays Integrity

I purchased a video course that was offered on Hill Robertson’s blog a few days ago. It’s a little video course that shows a method you can use to help prevent subscription popups from appearing after somebody has signed up for your mailing list. With a bit of modification, it could be used for a [...]

The Contest Answer

Back on December 11 I posted about a little contest that I wanted to run. The “prize” was a copy of James Brausch’s “The Internet Business Book, Volume I”.
On a side note, Volume II has been sent to his proofreaders. I’m expecting a release sometime within the next month or so.
Unfortunately, I didn’t receive any [...]

Don’t Resolve — Evolve

(NOTE: This blog post was written on December 25, 2007 but is just now being posted. — Tom)
Right now I’m like the butcher who backed into his meat grinder… and got a little behind in his work…
Life interrupts business. I don’t live for my business; my business lives for me. That’s one reason I want [...]

Action Leads To Feelings

I’ve been listening to the CD version of one of John Maxwell’s leadership books in the car lately. One point he makes is that many people fall victim to inaction because they wait for a “feeling” before doing anything. The problem is that the feelings needed to build a successful Internet-based business seldom come on [...]

Today’s Spam Roundup - December 14, 2007

I haven’t done a review of the spam in my spam folder lately and it seems like a good day to poke a bit of fun while (hopefully) helping you to better recognize it yourself and protect yourself from potential scams.
First off is an offer to enlarge something. Actually, it’s an offer to shrink my [...]

I’ve Deleted My Contact Form

My contact form is gone. Go ahead; click on that link. You’ll be taken to the same URL where my contact form used to be, but the form won’t be there. Instead, you’ll find new instructions on how to contact me.
To save you, my blog readers, a bit of time, I’ll tell you what you [...]
