Hey everyone, I thought this was a pretty cool weekend type post, as most will have more time to look things over. I hope no one minds getting this; I’m simply helping a friend…actually helping a friend who’s helping a friend…
My friend Alan from Replace Your Salary is helping his friend Tanny sell her home business site by spreading the word. I don’t know Tanny, but I have known Alan for some time and I’m a firm advocate for marketers/bloggers doing right by the same.
Long story short - Alan’s post on the sale is here, and the actual auction is here. Pay close attention to the stats; I don’t know much about site sales, but the numbers do look like a steal for the right buyer .
Many of you know by now that I do LOTS of blog commenting. I’ve also always been a big advocate for having an advertising page if you plan to sell ads; now I’m not so sure.
While doing my own commenting I always try to read as many of the comments already there, before leaving my own. (Good advice in itself, soon to be a post as well.)
Only thing I’d add to this is I’ve found that with an advertise page you could be limiting yourself. For instance, Microsoft contacts you when you have an open spot and you have it listed for $35 then they can pay ten times that much. But if Joe Schmo blog finds you on the advertise page then they can only page that much.
This post should indeed make at least some of you quite happy in the near future; I’ll be brief…
As I’ve stated, I will be moving everything from here on DSWM over to DennisEdell.com; hopefuly done by the new year. Sometime shortly after the move I will be looking to promote the fact *BIG TIME*.
I’m talkin possible Banner ads and Text Link ads, but Reviews and or Plugs FOR SURE. Whatever I can think of to get the initial word out without breaking the bank. I’m not cheap, but I will be looking for multiples here…each one can’t be $50; know what I mean?
Although I am not fond of plugs in general, if you allow them, I will write one. Even “reviews” will have to have certain things within them, just to be sure they are not missed .
This is a post I think of writing every time I receive the following. I got one today, so I figured what the hell .
I get them, you get them, we all unfortunately get them; JaneDoe @ herdomain.com has unsubscribed from yourdomain.com - those dreaded unsubscribe notifications. It’s a simple fact of blogging life and something you really shouldn’t take personally.
Easier said then done, I know.
My question is something every blogger has asked him/herself at least once. Should I contact this person directly? Then the self conversation begins…hopefully in your head and not out loud, lol.
Was it something I said or did? Something I haven’t said or done? Did I offend? Gee whiz, if I could only find out, perhaps I could better myself and my blog each time. But but but…
My new friend Andrew from we build your blog is holding a very cool and VERY simple contest, It a even be a little too simple considering the prize pool, so I’m in for sure! Hehe.
The important part, How To Win:
Download a copy of his free ebook, Build Your Own Profitable Blog In 45 Minutes. Yep, all you have to do to win some very cool FREE stuff, is download his FREE eBook…
How cool is that?!
He does list other stuff you can do (blog the contest, twitter, etc) to earn more points, but again, the only thing you have to do is download the ebook. Sweet!
There were 8 prizes when I first saw it, now there is 9 soon to be 10 if he accepts mine, so keep checking back. Go for it!
You may or may not know this, but my very first venture into the online marketing realm started in forums and quickly became my favorite. Oh yea, I became quite addicted, quite quickly; I was everywhere…..if you think I comment on many blogs, you should have seen my forum post counts all over the net.
Anyhoo, a year or two or so ago (hey that rhymed!), I became quite overwhelmed with it all. That combined with getting completely fed up with one forum altogether (yea Pete, that one), led me to abandon them completely…
…well, it’s time to go back. For the most part, they were good to me, and there’s no place like ‘em for helping others. This time though, I will do it right. One or two Internet marketing forums, one or two affiliate marketing forums, and a bunch of direct sales forums, since that is my main bread and butter as it were.
This is one of two posts, the second will be longer; probably a l0t longer! This brief post is to initially thank the two ladies (business partners) that came to my aid, and quickly!
Please help me to truly thank Wanda & Paula, 2 friends that successfully operate the Affiliate Blog Online, as well as about 20 other blogs and websites, making money. They really came through in a pinch and I am forever grateful .
Visit their blog, they really do have some amazing stuff. Pay attention to their How To and What Is sections, really good stuff! The links in those two pages alone should keep you plenty busy for a while! May I suggest loading your printer paper .
I realize I never actually got to promote the issue (told ya they were fast lol) so if you have no idea what I’m referring to above, please read this.
UPDATE! - WOW I hope you all are as seriously blown away as I am. Before I even had a chance to promote this post, one of our fellow blogger/marketers and a truly awesome person, Pete from Home Made Online Income, has stepped up to try and help both me and YOU.
After reading the post, be sure to read the first comment carefully before making any decisions. My offer of course still stands if there is one person that can afford it, but if not, please do not hesitate to take Pete up on his…we will work closely together to make sure it runs as smoothly as possible. Thank you all!
FINAL UPDATE! The money has been paid and the crisis has been averted, PLEASE DO NOT SEND ANY MORE MONEY! Read the next post instead .

Before we get into what may be the last promo for my special 2 month banner ad special, I’d like to give a big shout out to Brian Hawkins. Brian knows an awesome deal when presented with one and grabbed up the first of 5 spots for his Ad Tracking service.
Thanks Brian and good luck! Be sure to keep track of those clicks and let me know later!
For those of you that don’t already know Brian, I suggest you check out is Personal blog, Marketing blog, Blogging blog, and Photo blog…all highly recommended as well as his newsletter off his marketing blog.

Back to business - I did say my deal got sweeter and in fact i gave the biggst hint right in the subject line. The price of $25 for two months is stil the same as it is already super low, however, I am only putting up 5 banners instead of 10….more exposure for the 5 lucky’s!
