March 2010
Sorry for not touching base with people over the last couple of weeks. Burning the candle at both ends cost me a bit! Back in the saddle!
The Siren’s Call! Another day, another launch! Incredible to witness this phenomenon, bright shiny objects & promises of riches!
Today I got to go to a family function that 2yrs ago I would’ve missed! I almost didn’t make it! If you don’t quit, all things are possible!

@CPCDINIZ: “rb@xelavee” I have seen PG in concert several times! 1st time was 1974 at the Allen in Cleveland with Genesis! Thanks for the memory!

“The history of the world is full of men who rose to leadership by sheer force of self-confidence, bravery, and tenacity.” Mahatma Gandhi
This is from an email I received: “Discover The Easiest Way to Make More Money This Year.” How about “Meaningful” instead of “Easiest!”????
This is an awesome concept & an absolutely beautiful theme & store! One of the prettiest of both, in both worlds! Nice! http://bit.ly/bcKSeY
For a long time I bothered these guys about becoming an affiliate! They have an awesome product! The BEST keyword tool! http://bit.ly/a1oZkN
20mos of Facebook! I’ve watched people come & go. They’re still friends, they just quit posting! Same with Twitter. Retention is quite low!
All the hub-ub about Facebook PPC was WAY overdone! I’ve used Google & Facebook for PPC, a lot, & there is no comparison! Google wins!
Having fun working on a video with Animoto & YouTube! Add in TrafficGeyser & we dominate for ANY keywords we focus on! http://bit.ly/bgQMhh
I’m proud of my colleagues, real Linchpins! Our latest clients’ sties are coming together nicely http://bit.ly/djDMBw & http://bit.ly/crEwBA
Absolutes: 1) You get what you pay for! 2) There’s no free lunch! Cheap begets cheap (lousy results) every time! Cheap? You ALWAYS pay more!
The most hated phrase of all Craigslist advertisers is: “Have you had any luck with that?” Spam is a real problem with CL! Keeps many away!

I miss Huitter! It was a great concept & very useful! Too bad Twitter changed their rules & Huitter couldn’t adapt! There’s a lesson there!
It’s interesting, interviewing clients & deciding whether of not to work with THEM! Makes for a REALLY nice interview & ZERO pressure! Fun!
Great meeting with a new client! “Did lunch” for the 1st time in, well, since before “the illness!” So many getting BAD mrktg advice online!
Love the viral thing! JUST in the last 24hrs, via Google Alerts, I’ve found my videos & articles on 37 different sites! http://bit.ly/bqpTfg
Find a mentor! Someone you relate to & identify with. FOLLOW their advice! If you want to make it, in anything! You need a mentor, a coach!
Take it slow! If it was easy to make money online, money would be flowing through the streets! Take a long view & build your business right!
I can’t tell you how many clients I’ve talked to who’ve been taken by incompetent ‘Internet salesmen.” They’re NOT inbound marketers! Sad!
1955! A stroller ride every day. Route included a swing by Einstein’s house! Mom didn’t know he’d died 3 days before I was born! Oh well!

TuffGuy just came in to get me! Funny! It’s nice enough to take a walk & we’ve really missed our midnight to 3am walks! Salt hurts his paws!
I love the viral nature of the Internet! I’ve been posting videos for more than a year & every day someone picks one up http://bit.ly/c0rA5G
Success is about Positioning & Differentiation! How people refer to you when you’re not in the room & what makes you the one to do biz with!
There’s nothing “scalable” about anything we do! It’s all based on who we are & what we are about! Same is true for my Linchpin staff! UII
