Amazon-Sales-Tax-Tennessee

Let me get straight to the point and say  "I generally don't like politics and I don't trust Politicians" I suspect 99% of the things they do have an ulterior motive. On top of that I make no attempt to pretend I understand the American Political System. So now that i've made that clear it's good to see that California looks set to repeal the "Amazon Tax Law" that was recently passed and resulted in Amazon dropping all is californian affiliates , believed to be over 10,000 people.

At each end of the spectrum you have completely different styles, Some sit down and research a niche obsessively for weeks before they even attempt to build a site.

One of the most famous scenes from any film in the past 20 years is the Pill scene In the Matrix, (can you believe it's 12 years old!) Morpheus tells Neo  You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes. Everyone remembers that part of the script but if you actually look at the script Morpheus has some really great lines that can be applied to Internet Marketing and the art of making Money Online. You have to let it all go, Neo. Fear, doubt, … [Read more...]

List Building – Why Do So Many Get it Wrong?

It's just over a year now that i've been consciously been building a list , I've made lots of mistakes along the way but i still can't believe some of the crap people talk about list building.
