Creating, maintaining and tinkering with your blog is hard enough. Creating quality content for your readers is your new job; you’re excited, you have millions of things to give to your readers, offering value to their new ideas and prospects, and who knows? You may even help a lot of people in the process. The thing is, how are you going to get your readers to know you, without them ever seeing you in person or having a conversation with you? Surely you can’t partake in instant messaging with them all: you don’t have the time for that, and you wouldn’t want to look THAT available either. You’re going to have to sum yourself up in a clean, neat and precise page – your About Me page on your blog. Here are the things you should include in order to keep it short and sweet, while giving as much information about yourself as your readers need to get as close as they should! Read more…

When .co domains got released one year ago I thought it would be a great idea for a domain for two reasons. The catchy domains that you wouldn’t be able to get otherwise and the misspell traffic (trying to write .com) that you would be able to get (yes I am evil like that)! After the smoke disappeared though, I didn’t see the domain extension catching up with the hype. Not many people used them to create authority sites and people just sticked up with .coms. Read more…

Many people ask me what I do for a living and if they can also do what I do. Not many have the patience for Internet Marketing but one thing is for sure. They can do it and so can you! It’s not a matter of I.Q., huge knowledge or technical background. Sure, it will help having all of the above, or at least some of them, but nothing can stop you from doing what you love. And now, I have a new amazing example, Bradley!

By reading an interview of Bradley Nordstrom,  I’ve just found a new way to answer to whoever  thinks they don’t have what it takes to make it online. The kid is 11 years old and he’s crushing it online! If an 11-year-old can do it, then so can you! Read more…

It is a common saying that to be able to excel in business you have to be at least a little bit better than your competition. It might seem a bit childish as a thing to believe in but actually it’s true. To become a powerful player in your niche, no matter what market you’re into, you’ll have to be better than your competition in everything.

As an inspirational speaker on Ted mentioned, (and please if you can remember the talk, do send me the link) buyers are becoming more conscious of their buying habits and they are requesting a lot more than simply a product. They are much more demanding because now their money is more important to them. Therefore, beating your competition is not only about marketing and how to play with profit margins, but it’s also an effort that should be spread across every level of your organization, no matter how big or small it is.

Hello and welcome to our Evernote Showcase post! You could say: “why create one in the first place? Isn’t all the information publicly available already?” and I can say that yes, it is. The difference is that by showing you how we currently use it, it might give you ideas to organize your information in a much better way. Yes we love Evernote THAT much! Let’s take this one step at a time though.

Evernote is a multiplatform application for note taking. While that doesn’t sound like a big deal, it really is. It can change:

• The way you work
• The way you organize and retrieve information
• The way you cooperate with peers
• The ability to become 10 times more organized Read more…

Maybe you’ve heard of it, maybe you’ve even read it. Published in 1989, this book still influences people all around the world, giving them valuable lessons in personal change. Even today, it holds some very powerful ideas which, when put to correct use, can help you accomplish your dreams.

It’s called The 7 Habits of Highly Successful People and it was written by Stephen R. Covey. If you’ve already read this book, then you know that I’m talking about a piece of sheer apocalyptic writing. If you haven’t, then I suggest you do. Either way, here follows my own interpretation; a paraphrased synopsis if you will, of what you can do to lead yourself to success.

One thing is for sure. Getting into the internet marketing field also means getting excited about all the possibilities and opportunities that come along the way. Most of the time, we tend to take on too many projects simultaneously. This is almost fine, as long as the projects are short-term ones. The main problems arise when our projects are long-term and involve teams with many people.

For quite some time, I used to think that the way to go was many in-house projects with many other people. My aim was to get involved with several teams and help each one with its project management, promotion, monetization and branding. I thought that since my tasks were limited to team management and promotion, and since my involvement actively starts near the end of each project right before its release, it’s the best to take on as many as possible and hope one of them meets success. I thought I had all bases covered.

But I was wrong!

Nowadays, the amount of information shared over the Internet increases exponentially. This includes the information available that many organizations make known. A never-ending cycle, it implies that  a source exposing more information makes the source more influential, resulting in even more information being exposed by other sources. In order for this information to be managed, several systems have been implemented to facilitate the creation and, most importantly, its organization. Therefore, any modern web site of dynamically managed content should implement a Content Management System (CMS).

The most popular CMS are:

1. WordPress
2. Joomla
3. Drupal

Let’s take a look at them and see what each one has to offer.
