Effective Control - Who Runs Your Show?
It’s a funny thing being in business for yourself. There are so many things to consider, today I want to share with you a thought about effective control, so who runs your show?
A wise friend once told me that if more than 15% of your gross revenue comes from a single source, this single source can affect the course of your destiny.
You Asked For It!
I’ve just launched two new websites today - simple and clean, no fuss service websites. They address the requests I’ve been receiving to offer coaching. The two new sites are:
The Executive Internet Coaching is a monthly program with scheduled weekly coaching calls and I’ve priced it very aggressively which means two things: there’s only 10 more spots left in the Internet Coaching program and when they’re gone, they’re gone.
Knol SEO, Here We Go Again…
Filed under: Internet Marketing, SEO, Social Media, Strategic Content
Knol SEO is a popular new search phrase, and at the time of writing this post, I hold the #1 spot on Google for the phrase “knol seo“, and just in case Google sees fit to make a liar out of me, here’s a screen shot I just grabbed as proof 
Why are Knols important?
It’s the old truism ‘content is king’ and Google proves making Knols to promote your business, products and services is a great way to achieve enhanced Internet Marketing exposure. And unlike Wikipedia…
Mobile Email Woes… What Went Wrong?
According to Jordan Ayan, CEO of SubscriberMail, at least half of corporate email administrators turn off images on incoming emails. And according to Marketing Sherpa, 64% of key decision makers read their email on a mobile device, so unless they’re using an iPhone the majority will not get images and the email will be garbled with meaningless HTML code. Basically your email looks terrible! (Hint, this was why I dumped my BlackBerry and moved to iPhone.)
Are You Really This Gullible?
I love a good success story and recently watched a video from a fellow Internet marketer who was showing us proof he was indeed “master of his dominion.” To prove it he filmed himself opening his daily mail and showed us a pile of checks with their corresponding monetary amounts.
These checks added up to a pretty penny - and allegedly they were for a short time period too. This is all good stuff, and I am not disputing the truth of the video. What I am wondering is though is are you really this gullible?
The Monster Mash With Pipes?
Mashing and pipes - what do they mean? Not much to the average Joe, but if (like me) you once were a Unix then the mere mention of Pipes sends thrills down your spine.
Ok, maybe not thrills, but if you knew the power of Pipes in the 80’s and 90’s - you’ll freak out when you see what they can do today!
And for those of you who asked me “James, can I aggregate my RSS feeds and then perform filtering and other clever stuff?” the answer is still yes… and here’s how:
Welcome to the wonderful world of Yahoo Pipes.
Wordpress 2.6.1 is now available.

“Show Me The Money… Now Godammit!”
I always believed this time would come: the web experience polarized into two distinct camps: (1) the grazers and (2) the ruthless researcher. A recent article by usability guru Jakob Nielsen seems to share my opinion too.
According to Mr Nielsen, web users are “getting more ruthless and selfish when they go online.” Nielsen’s annual web habits report also shows people are becoming much less patient when they go online too. Here are the report findings…
