I received a call yesterday from Alex, my enrollment adviser @ WGU to inform me that I’ve successfully passed the WGU entrance exam. I feel pretty good about that, particularly seeing as algebra and geometry aren’t my strong points. Next challenge: the $65.00 registration fee. I speak with Alex again on Tuesday, so we’ll see how that goes. If it is to be, it will be, so I’m not too overly concerned the fee will be much of an issue.

As a couple of you know, I’ve been having some technical issues with my blog, 500 Internal Server Errors, among other things. With the help of the great people over at Hostgator, I believe we’ve got that fixed. In addition, you should notice my blog loading in your browser significantly better, especially my 300 EC pages and my free ebook pages. Speaking of my 300 EC pages, I’ve finished (finally!) debugging those pages. The first two pages of cards are each an even 100. The final page of EC is 101. This enables everyone on the list a shot at 300 EC a day. Read more... (330 words, 15 images, estimated 1:19 mins reading time)

do you anticipate will be required to succeed at WGU and achieve your goals?” That was the essay question in my entrance exam at Western Governor’s University. I thought long and hard about how to answer that question and I thought I’d share my essay with you.

That is an excellent question.

Due to some poor life choices, I’ve come to regret not continuing my education. Not pursuing a higher education has hurt me career wise, financially, and personally over the years. I intend to do something about that and it starts by my enrollment in WGU.

Given the importance of setting a good example for my daughter, as well as the importance of quality time spent with both her and my wife, one significant lifestyle change will be the commitment of at least 4 hours a day, 5 days a week to my studies while my daughter is in school. This will allow me to keep to a schedule that will not have an adverse impact on other importance aspects of life, as well as setting a great example for my daughter not just by my words, but by my actions as well.

If You Had Plenty of Time or Money, But Not Both, Which Would You Choose?

No, that’s not a trick question. The fact is, if you choose money, there’s no guarantee you’ll have time to enjoy it. If you choose time, there’s no guarantee you’ll be able to function financially.

Ever since the creation of the World Wide Web, the search for ways to have both the time and the money is endless. Millions of people scour the Web on a daily basis looking for that one banana boat that will vault them into internet marketing superstardom.
Unfortunately, few of them wind up breaking the code that allows them to live large without spending every waking moment working.

No internet guru is likely to spill the real beans, you know. The beans they use to make a great living without being a slave to their computer are tightly held secrets; its not like they want you taking any money from them, you know what I’m saying? These people don’t want to really share. Of course, they want all that money for themselves. Read more... (391 words, 15 images, estimated 1:34 mins reading time)

Write as though you’re speaking to one person

Picture yourself as though you’re writing your article to a single person. This makes you appear more personable and will help keep your readers interested in what you write about.

Make good use of white space within what you write

Plenty of white space will make your article appear more professional. Also, breaking up long paragraphs into short 2-4 sentence paragraph will help keep your skim readers interested in your article and will make your article much easier to read.

Double and triple check your articles for errors

You know, nowadays there’s a chat room for damn near every subject out there. Troll the Paltalk chat rooms (the biggest ones of them all) and you’re sure to find anything from Forex trading to overweight guinea pig support groups. For real.

My mentor, Gary Bacchetti (aka The Gentle Mentor) decided it was time someone paid attention to the lack of anyone helping out struggling marketers. He found the need and filled it by starting a room specifically to help newbies and struggling marketers. It was a room waiting to happen, “I can’t believe no one paid attention to this struggling group”, he’s quoted as saying

Prior to Gary starting his room, there were a few marketers, but they were doing little more than pushing MLM programs in what are referred to as “hype rooms”. Hype rooms are rooms where marketers hype their affiliate programs to suck you in and then leave you hanging when it comes to helping you be successful. Read more...

Article marketing and internet marketing are not one and the same. Internet marketing is the broad concept that encompasses quite a few concepts within the it. Article marketing is just one of the many facets of web promotion. No internet marketing campaign is complete without some form of article marketing, the two just go hand in hand. Using articles as a means to market yourself or a product or service is a vital component of any complete internet marketing solution.

There are many ways you can use in an effort to get your name noticed. The problem for most (myself included) is that many of the available forms of marketing online require you to spend money. After all, advertising, for the most part, isn’t free. Advertising with articles, on the other hand, is generally free. People have been using this unique form of marketing for quite some time, long before ecommerce became the big thing. When speaking of ecommerce and internet marketing, article marketing is one of the best ways of getting your information out there and creating back links to your site, blog, or affiliate products.
