A new feature starting today is Free E-book Friday. Each Friday I will be giving away one of those silly Internet marketing books. The ones people foolishly pay money for. Going by what some people pay, you could be getting stuff worth countless dollars! There is a funny story how I got these books. When [...]

Yet another Entrecard dropping strategy.  Why is this one any different?   To start, Entrecard recently made several changes that make your job on choosing who to drop on much easier.  Second, I maintained a constant 600+ec average under the old system.  Seems silly to take advice from people that had a 300ec average.  Third, Entrecard [...]

Fresh off yesterday’s Internet Winners vs Internet Losers we had both types demonstrate their appeal today.  The following is a series of exchanges I recently had in the Entrecard forum under my promotion post and by message.  We will call the 3 characters “Loser” “Winner” and “Turnip“, none of which knew each other before the conversation.

Authoring several blogs and participating in various Internet communities I tend to notice certain patterns.  I’ve met fine upstanding people, most of which share certain traits.  Then I’ve met my share of inconsiderate losers who also share certain traits.  This isn’t an end all list, just my way to blow off some steam today. Losers [...]
