I recently came to the conclusion that a proper Terms of Service on Daily Conversions would be a good idea. I reached out to my lawyer Aaron Kelly who just started a new Terms of Service/Private Policy/Legal Protection business called Snap Terms and I asked him to draft one. I was expecting a very traditional terms of service that you'd normally see online. However, Aaron drafted me something totally different and at first I was taken back a step but after I read the Terms of Service … [Read more...]

Things are changing fast in the internet marketing world. Specific tactics that worked well in 2011 aren't going to necessarily work well in 2012. What is going to work well in 2012 may not work well in 2013. Times are changing fast, competition is getting smarter and you have to be 3 steps ahead these days to be competitive and keep the profit rolling. I'm headed down to Affiliate Summit West 2012 in about a week and believe me it's going to be a very busy event. Not only do I have to check … [Read more...]

Recently, a friend reminded me of a practical joke/experiment that I did over 10 years ago and I thought I would share it with you guys. This was my early days of "marketing" and learning how to influence people. The challenge was to go to a crowded movie where there were only a few remaining seats, sit dead center in the middle of the theater and influence the crowd to not sit next to me. Oh ya, there was one more condition, I couldn't ask anyone to not sit next to me. I had to influence … [Read more...]

I'm putting this post together to help other consultants and to help companies looking to hire consultants. For me, consulting started many years ago. I was having a lot of success with different aspects of my other businesses and it didn't take long for others to want a piece of the pie. I'd get everything from daily partnership requests, to companies offering me obscene amounts of money to help them do what I've done. At this point, I was thinking to myself  "Ok, I can keep my … [Read more...]

This is a caricature created of me by Dukeo. Great job! Read below for the full story. I wanted to give a shout out to Dukeo the master of Reciprocal Marketing for creating such an excellent caricature of me (above). Dukeo is a skilled marketer that has created an excellent way to market his blog by creating caricatures of famous marketers (like the one of me above). And then in turn it seems most of the marketers/bloggers link back to him without being asked. I sure did! This marketing … [Read more...]

It boggles my mind how often I see a lot of the same conversion no-nos. Things that make me not want to continue filling out a form or completing and action that I otherwise would have, due to something that website owners are completely unaware harms their business. Phone number in the wrong format, and make me correct it? Does it really matter if I list my phone number as 1-222-333-4444 or 1(222)333-4444 or even 1222333444, are you not smart enough to know how to call me? And taking this … [Read more...]

I think it's out of sheer boredom and often frustration at lack of success that Online Marketers like to start rumors and try to get ahead by any means necessary (amongst other reasons). I run into people online all the time that have that mindset that they are going to do _anything_ to make more $. And, although I respect their hustle I think it's almost very important not to step on toes and shed yourself in a bad light. I'm dedicating this point to hopefully pass on some information that I've … [Read more...]
