April 9, 2009 By Mark 25 Comments

The recent Article Marketing Video Series I did For wordpress Goldmine stretched to over 3 hours. However one of the most enjoyable ones for me was when I wrote an article in under 10 minutes. I have decided to repeat the feat here and write another article in under 10 minutes. In fact it is 8 minutes 25 seconds. The secret to writing these articles is to start with the main body and afterwards write the first and last paragraphs. You'll see what i mean in the Video below. Another keypoint is to keep your articles at around 300 words. Any more than 300 words and most peple start to lose … [Read more...]

Is There Really No Such Thing As A Free Lunch

March 25, 2009 By Mark 3 Comments

In the case of BFM 2.0 free meant a $29.95 postage and packing fee.. Wow How expensive is postage in the US?? I got a router and an Ipod fedexed over night from New York To Spain … [Read more...]
