Maintenance on this blog Good morning. I've been making some big changes in my marketing business and today I realized I needed to update this blog, make some corrections, and delete some out-of-date posts. Since I'm no longer promoting traffic exchanges, Amazon.com, SFI Marketing Group, and others, I've deleted posts about them. This has resulted in some categories having no posts and that leads to an error, so I'm publishing this post in all categories. This is just a part of running a business in general and is particularly important when running an online marketing business. Things change and we have to change with them. Act on your dream!

MurphyGold.com - Promoting locally owned small businesses in Murphy, NC For the last several months, I have been planning a new website to promote select, locally-owned small businesses and their owners in Murphy, NC. In July, 2009, Murphy Gold went live and now I will be concentrating on getting recommendations for other business owners who are dedicated to providing the best products and services that they can to their customers, friends, and neighbors in our small mountain town in western North Carolina. Not every business owner will be accepted, and eventually it will require two recommendations from existing Murphy Gold Business owners before I'll promote someone on the site. I'm looking forward to working on it and helping people who live in Murphy, NC and the surrounding area to get more for their hard-earned money by shopping at Murphy Gold Businesses. All the best, JD 8:16:45 AM    comment []

New Web Master designs on CafePress It has been a very long time since I've been able to upload any new designs to my John Dilbeck's Shirts, Mugs, and Hats store at CafePress. Over the last few days, I created a dozen or so new designs and I'll be adding them to the store over the next few days, as I can. I thought it was appropriate to add some new designs to the Computers and Internet section. There are several designs in the WebMaster products, including the newest. Sometimes I see Webmaster as one word and sometimes as two. "Web Master" offers a new take on the design and it's now available on a number of products including clothing, tiles, stickers, magnets, buttons, mugs, steins, and probably a few I can't think of right now. Web Master Show the world that you control at least a portion of the World Wide Web, or give your favorite nerd a gift proclaiming her (or his) technical prowess. These products are available now. Act on your dream! JD 2:05:52 AM    comment []

Site Build It! Two-for-one sale ends January 3, 2006 at midnight. This is my final reminder of the Site Build It! Buy-one-get-one-free special sale. SBI is a bargain at any time. Until midnight on January 3, 2006, it is an extra-special bargain. If you're not ready to buy your SBI site, you may be interested in reading the book that started it all. Make Your Site Sell! is an ebook with over 1000 pages of outstanding information. It is by far the best $30 I first invested in my online marketing business. After buying MYSS, studying it, and putting what I learned into action, I finally started earning money through affiliate marketing. So far, the only better investment has been Site Build It!. I use the SBI method, tools, and resources every day as I expand my network of websites, blogs, forums, and lenses, even on sites hosted elsewhere. You're probably not interested in building a network of sites. I don't blame you a bit. If my brain were wired differently and I could concentrate on just one topic, I'd probably be much better off, but it's not the way I am. If you have a particular subject in which you are interested, SBI offers a step-by-step method to identify your niche, build your site, and eventually monetize it. It will save you time, energy, and money, and you will have a better site with a better chance of earning a decent income with it. You may not be able to replace a full-time job, but perhaps you can earn a few hundred dollars per month with it. I highly recommend Site Build It! and I'll be developing more SBI sites later this year. Don't miss this special sale. Share the purchase with a friend. You keep one site and sell the other to your friend. Each of you can get your own site for half-price until tomorrow night. Or, buy one and give one away. Or, keep both for yourself. You don't have to activate the second site for several months. If you do this now, where can you be a year from now? 4:01:06 AM    comment []

Site Build It! Buy 1 Get 1 Free Special - Expires December 25, 2005 Site Build It! just keeps getting better and better. Recently, the great folks at Sitesell have been busy adding more and more new features to Site Build It! For example, they added the ability to blog an entire site, called RSS It!, and it's done behind the scenes. Every time I add a new page, or update an existing one, it is automatically blogged and the RSS file is updated. I don't have to do anything, this just gets done automatically. In the last couple of weeks, RSS It! was improved with the addition of Blog It!, which offers the capability to blog about anything I want and have it included in the RSS file, and also on a blog page that is fully capable of being indexed by the search engines. I previously developed a way to show my blogs on my SBI site, but that used javascript and those pages were not indexed by the search engines. How much did it cost to get these new features added to my Site Build It! account? Not one penny. Nothing. Nada. That's something else I like about Ken Evoy. He and his team are constantly adding new features and improving the ones that are already integrated in SBI. They don't nickle-and-dime you to death, either. You know what you're getting with this company. An SBI account costs approximately $300 (USD) for a year of full access to the entire SBI system, including the outstanding, members-only forum. Pay once, use it for the next year -- simple. From now until midnight Christmas day, December 25, 2005, Ken is sweetening the deal. Buy one SBI site, get one free. See the details at Site Build It's home page. Click the holiday sale icon. If you've been planning to start your SBI website, now's the best time to purchase. Two for one deals only come around now and then. Don't miss this one. You don't want to wake up on December 26th thinking, "I wish I had." 1:25:42 AM    comment []

Initializing categories at ISucceedByHelpingYouSucceed.com A few days ago, I made the decision to move all my blogs powered by Blogger off their free storage at Blogspot.com. Over the weekend, I was busy rethinking what I want to do with my blogs, how I want to power them, where I want them hosted, and how to syndicate them for maximum readership. This post is to announce a new website I just created to help me with those aims, and, also, to create the new categories I'll be using here. In subsequent postings, all will be posted to the home page, and some will also be posted to the appropriate category. It will take another week or two to make things work as well as they were before Blogger started blocking my blogs. Things happen, we make changes, time goes on.
