30 Day Challenge Preseason has finally started by the help of Ed's Apple mac pro

Preseason of 30DC 2008 has finally started and a few hundred members watched the live video show from Ed's house in Australia, last night. It is amazing what these guys are doing. I would really like to know more about the real costs and technical equipment behind running such a show in live. It is about hundreds of megabytes of data, which has to be transmitted worldwide in real time. Well, I could just guess about it. I only know that Ed uses a very powerful Apple Mac Pro with more than one processor, a very large RAM under the Leopard operating system.

This is the Thirty Day Challenge Number 4 - (the fourth continuous annual challenge).





The official time of the 30DC 2008 is the East Coast Time (American east coast).

Official Internet browser is the latest Beta version of Flock, which is specialized for Web2.0.

Twitter is the most important 'thing' which has happened in the Internet marketing in 2008. We are going to study Twitter much deeper and we are going to use it for many very targeted activities.

The world has changed so much in this last year. High quality video rocks! There will be different options of video formats, considering the quality of the video.
All training material is going to be optimized for Apple products, such as iTunes, iPhone, iPod, AppleTV in high definition quality.
All streaming of the video will be done by Youtube. There will also be a BitTorrent version of the educational material.

We are going to see brand new Internet marketing approach how to harness any market niche.

Until the start of the Thirty Day Challenge 8 individuals have become a dollar millionaires!
Ed Dale has developed the 30DC to teach people to get out of the daily work slavery (a rat race), which doesn't allow you a distant life at all.

Everybody should start with $1 (dollar)! To respect one dollar and to move further.

Teams are going to be very important in TDC 2008, because it is so much easier to succeed in a good team. Internet marketing in 2008 is a Team Sport and Team Nature of work is at utmost importance.

The most successful group last year were small business owners, who applied new learned knowledge of web marketing to their small private businesses with some amazing results.
The relation between men and women in 30 DC last year was about 50:50, which is also an extraordinary result.


The new training platform - the interface is going to be finished in one week time.
There are going to be 2 pages:
- preseason time page
- thirty day challenge page
with very easy navigation.

Ed also awarded one random participant of the show by amazing combination of 3 huge high definition digital monitors.


p.s.
I sincerely hope there will also be at least one Apple Macbook pro among awards in this year TDC and that I am going to get a chance to compete for one.
p.p.s.
Well, I didn't mean it too seriously, because I know that the real price of the apple state of the art laptop macbook pro is very, very high.

Twitter is not reliable tool such as Apple Macbook pro

This picture expresses quite well my feelings today about some web 2.0 tools, including twiter.
I wanted to fulfill my old, many times repeated promise to learn more about the Twitter and to install the Twhirl. I was listening the video from the 30DC blog, where Ed precisely explains how to install it and how to use it well.

Sorry, for the all spring red roses, but the Twitter didn't work at all. It wasn't possible even to login properly. I really feel sorry for these guys there, because in this way they are going to loose some valuable clients for sure. There are some other similar tools on the market already and the competition is getting even more intense.
I am sure, that apple computers and laptops and other electronic gadgets (iPhone,iPod, etc.) work much better and are much more reliable than that poor twitter. I hope apple macbook pro is going to be really portable that I could carry it everywhere with me on my journeys.
I could also imagine of getting an Internet marketing apprenticeship at Ed Dale or at Dan Raine, sometimes in the future, if I am going to learn enough about quality content creation, search engine optimization no page and off page, tricks with video editing and posting, and much more.
I am truly looking forward to 30 Day Challenge 2008 and to Immediate Edge immediately after. I truly want to commit myself on a 24/7/365 basis to web marketing and I am willing to chew the snails on this way to achieve such a goal.
And of course, I haven't forgotten my dream about apple macbook pro 17 glossy with enough RAM only for me...ups, and an iPhone to accompany me to wherever I go (even to the rest room):

p.s.
I hope, that twitter - twhirl partnership is going to work soon, because I am not going to give up so easy

Where Big Guys make money for their apple macbook pro

Today, Ed Dale told his audience where anyone could get all the professional knowledge and 24/7 support by personal expert for absolutely all professional web business needs. That means, when you exactly know what do you want to do, what do you want to offer and sell. You could sell products or services. The most important fact is, that you need to know exactly what do you want. This is for guys, who already use apple mac computers and Leopard OS in their every day work or online fun.
Watch this video about StomperNet, if you want to know more about this highly professional service.



I only know, that I really don't know yet what I want to do online.
Maybe, I still haven't got enough Internet marketing knowledge and experiences of what and how to do online?
I am sure I am going to learn much more in this year's thirty day challenge and I am really looking forward to its start, soon. After the 30 DC 2008 I could join Immediate Edge to learn even more professional technical knowledge. At that time, I am going to have a perfectly clear view of what and how to do and to continue my Internet marketing every day reality in StomperNet. Well, at that stage in my personal web marketing development I am more than sure, that I am going to be a proud owner of one apple macbook pro 17 glossy for some time, already.
Ed also said today, that he hasn't ever had a better electronic gadget that is his iPhone. He praises apple iPhone at all times.

Spring Clearance of my messy Digg account for the sake of my dream apple macbook pro

Every now and than it comes time to check up my web 2.0 accounts and today I was dealing with my totally messy MacBook Digg presence. I've managed to collect many hundreds of contacts there (almost a thousand) as fans and mutual friends, which were mostly dead. Oh yes, my contacts were dead as rocks. I finally decided to put that account in order and to get much better overview over the situation there. I am slowly preparing for a revolutionary shift to apple macbook pro and to Leopard operating system and I really want to do that in a very organized and minimalistic web 2.0 environment. I am going to be too occupied with learning how to use new Leopard os and all those wonderful programs written for a apple mac, especially iChat and ScreenFlow or something similar.
I was a real butcher today. I simply deleted hundreds of my dead contacts on digg and at the end of the day I really felt much better and lighter. I left only about 200 names and I am going to additionally shrink these 200 to about 100 quality ones, which are alive.

This early morning my 'Intelligence department under the stairs' has managed to intercept a very interesting secret video twitting Seesmic (Ed Dale) - a video messaging system, which is still in Alpha phase of testing. It is going to be a Twitter on steroids or red bull. I'd really felt like British secret intelligence between the WWII, when they had managed to confiscate one real and untouched German Enigma cryptic machine. Instead of sending 140 digit text messages like Twitter, Seesmic is going to share - deliver a real video messages. That is so very cool! And of course, Ed Dale and his Lab gang is already involved in testing. I tell you something. If you wanna know the recent state of the art Internet marketing technologies, tips and trick just follow the Ed. He is a very slippery guy, who is in constant move, but put some efforts and follow him, wherever he goes. You don't need to worry for your personal safety, he is not an extreme sportiest freak, because he is a resposible father of a young family, and all that makes the process of spying about his new knowledge and new Internet marketing techniques a bit easier.

I still haven't studied twitter enough, as I wanted to. I'll do that tomorrow, I hope. I simply need to, if I want to increase my online income to finally buy a new apple macbook pro 17" glossy, just for me.

What should I write today about apple macbook and the ThirtyDayChallenge?

That fly has red eyes like me, today. Maybe, she had been binge drinking yesterday? (Photo by corvus72 Thanks!)

Toady, I really don't see well. A bit of too much focusing to computer screen in front of me and too many Internet learning hours and my bad eyes cannot cope too well. Tomorrow is Sunday and I am going to surround myself with fresh green grass and trees, which are very effective cure, like a healing balsam for tired eyes (so they say). I'd got totally scared today, when my old PC had frozen with absolutely no sign of life. Not even one green or red LED light was flashing, computer screen was dead, as well. After I unplugged all cables and repeated the procedure the computer started well as usually. Oh, how I was afraid. I urgently need it until I finally get my dream apple macbook pro 17 glossy or something similar from apple and powered by Leopard operating system, because I would love to use iChat.

I've found out, that I have a serious problems with using many web 2.o social networking and social bookmarking web sites, forums, etc. Each of them is something special and each of them has its own community. If I spend just a bit more time on any of them I immediately start to build my own nice community there. That doesn't mean that I start just like this to befriend new people, who I am meeting for the first time, but I really like to join their existing interest groups. What is the problem, than? The only problem is time spent on these web2.0 sites. The time I am spending on this virtual communities is far too long. I would like to contribute on many social web sites, but that is very hard to achieve, because the day has only 24 hours. Maybe, the recipe is to stick just with Internet sites, which I especially like...I am really not sure what could be the best tactic in this department.

Anyway, I am certain, that I am going to stick with Thirty Day Challenge 2008, because there is so much to learn and their leaders are very strict and straight, considering loads of fun and creative activities every day. Only watching their videos if a great fun and totally different approach than any ultra boring official educational institution. I have found out, that I am really learning so much new knowledge and experiences about Internet marketing, if there is enough socializing and laugh involved. I could do that for long hours not getting tired or bored at all. There are people from absolutely all over the worlds and that is simply amazing.


p.s.
I hope I could do my 30DC 2008 on my old PC, because it was simply too early to earn enough for my new, dream apple macbook pro.

Page Rank Rocks on the way to my Apple MacBook Pro

Page Rank is a number, which shows how much Google loves your web site or any other particular web page. Higher is the page rank, higher is the fondness, which Google expresses to your web site. If I would like to earn enough to buy my new dram apple macbook pro 17" glossy, I simply need to do my best in learning tips and tricks of Internet marketing.
I still don't understand very well, how did I jump from PR0 to PR4 and even PR5 on two of my pages? I started on 10. February 2008 and I haven't posted really regularly after, even though I know very well, that Google loves you much more if you post every day. It is quite similar as it is in a real life. More attraction, more love, or something similar. I am really not very experienced in this matter.

How it is about relationship between my blog or any other web site and the Google? It looks like this search engine is a huge lover, who is engaged with billions of web pages and who constantly evaluates its partners and ranks them to express its love to them in accordance with their ranks. Higher the PR rank, higher the google love.

I rather won't judge the ethical side of such a promiscuous behaviour of being only one entity and having a relationship with billions of different web pages. I leave that judgment to more experienced and wise people than me to decide about. Such is a modern world today. Sergey Brin and Larry Page, founders of the largest and the most important search engine are very smart guys, who are interested in technicalities, not a morality of this story.

In last days/weeks I was playing a bit with measuring the strength of a good text link and I found out, that the PR (page rank) really plays a very important role in the rankings of search engines, especially in the niche markets.
Let be straight with some facts here. I am interesting only and only in little Internet niche markets. I have absolutely no chance to compete with big guys out there, who could afford to spend more per week to pay for the best SEO service, than I could earn in one whole year. I have some little chance to do quite well only in the small niche market, if I perform Internet marketing activities in as optimal way as possible.

I've got two new friends who were willing to participate in some measurements with their niche web sites and results were quite impressive. Once we also needed to remove the link, because it appears that it was simply too strong and one non monetized niche site had been pushed up in rankings and had overtaken the other web site from the same owner, which was monetized. Monetized site slipped to the second page in search engine ranking, which is not attractive at all, considering making web income from organic traffic.

There is so much more to learn and I am really looking forward to follow, what Ed Dale and Dan Raine and their friends are making ready for us in the Thirty Day Challenge 2008. Follow me, if you want to learn more about the topic of web promotion in the best possible way, absolutely free of charge.

p.s.
Ups, there is also Robert Somerville alas Guru Bob - the TechnoLab boss, who I forgot to mention and to praise above.

p.p.s.
I hope I am going to get my new apple macbook pro with leopard operating system soon to stop loosing tens of hours every week by using old slow PC and windows

There's a hidden Diamond in this video, but not Apple Macbook pro

It is truly worthwhile to watch this ULTRA LONG video of two Internet marketing gurus: Ed Dale and Dan Raine (Thirty Day Challenge). Obviously, they were in a very good mood especially for this occasion. This video is not just an another promotion for Apple MacBook, however you could hear some promotional praises about Apple TV (AppleTV) at the end of the video.

There is a 'hidden diamond' - a true 'secret weapon' in this video, which could save you long hours of very hard work of Internet marketing, social bookmarking or any other serious social networking. I strongly suggest you to watch it. If you need any further explanation, don't hesitate to ask.


Web TV provided by Ustream


ADVERTISEMENT:
I am also looking for any friend out there, who would like to join me in our Internet marketing exploration of social networking, SEO, social bookmarking, content creation, quality back links building, graphic manipulation, video editing, etc.
I am really not so good in putting words into sentences, but maybe there are some topics where I could be of a bit better use. I think, if we join forces, knowledge and experiences we could do something really nice and valuable. We could also create a nice team for the Thirty Day Challenge 2008.


p.s.
Even though, I still haven't got my own Apple MacBook Pro and its master Leopard to control it, I think I could contribute some 'link juice' to our joint efforts.

Apple MacBook dream, Internet Real Estates of Adam Jones from Kilburn,

Apple MacBook dream, Internet Real Estates of Adam Jones from Kilburn, London
Originally uploaded by MacBookForMe

This photo represents an empty field. It is located very close to my house in Kilburn, London. It reminds me to my empty Virtual Field, may non existing Internet real estate, which is just asking to be populated by virtual buildings as web sites, blogs, social networking sites, bookmarks, etc. It reminds me, that there is a chance for me to finally become somebody who owns his own property, even though that is only a virtual property such as a blog or a simple web site. I know that the best hardware for building such virtual properties is Apple MacBook Pro and Leopard operating system, which are my blogging dreams.

It took me a very long time to understand the term of Virtual Real Estate - Virtual Property - Virtual Empire.
I know, that the property market had got totally crazy in last few years in Britain. Many people made $millions just by buying and holding their properties. House prices were rising so fast, that people started to buy houses in the same manner as they were buying bread rolls in their local supermarket. Very cheap loans had been allowed very easy house or flat buying for people who wanted to buy them. Even buying computers such as PC or apple macbook were not so easy to purchase. There was always a second thought considering buying computer equipment for those people. Yet, they were taking mortgages to buy houses as mad. Sometimes banks had been approving loans of 120% value of the property! (I've never seen a bank which could offer a loan of 120% value of the personal computer, even though one could make a very nice money by working on that PC.)
Than, it came a notorious Credit Crunch - a world financial crisis, because of greedy bank managers who were lending money to people with bad credit records. Repossessions are a sheer reality almost everywhere today. Thousands and thousands of families are going to lose their house due to negative equity of their property and the fact that they are not able to repay their credit obligations - loans.

Whenever Ed Dale (Thirty Day Challenge) had mentioned buying and selling web sites and blogs as a very lucrative and very tempting business, I just skipped this talk. I thought the topic is somehow connected to real estate agents, who is the worst possible group of people in Britain to deal with. They con people in so many ways, that it is simple unimaginable. I have started to despise the Labour government, just because they allow such a criminal behavior. BBC TV has been constantly showing how real estate agencies are tricking people to extort extremely high profits just for abusing internal information about properties, they are representing. I would much rather talk to a street bagger than to any real estate agent, because I simply trust more to the average bagger than to those properties 'con-agents'.

Oh, how I was terribly wrong in my perceptions about the topic of web virtual empires. There is a business, which is so very attractive and profitable. That business is building virtual properties, monetize them and sell them for a profit. Of course, you do not need to sell those Virtual Households, if you prefer to earn constant income by holding them and managing them properly. These web sites are like any other buildings. If you want to keep your own house in a good condition you simply need to manage it nicely as a good master by keeping it clean, dry, technically maintained and fully operational. You also need to have a proper insurance policy that you could sleep tight with no worries about potential loss in any accidental occasion.

I was such a silly boy! 'Oh, how I was stupid!' That was my personal comment, when I had finally realized what lies behind the term of Online Real Estates. I could have been financially totally independent already, if I only would had been realized where the future of business were moving on time.
It really doesn't help me a lot if I feel sick for my short mind for too long, though. I was looking for the opportunity to start to learn. I wanted to learn as much as possible about online Internet Business and Marketing. More I was looking around, more different strange words were coming to my reality. Social networking, social bookmarking, Internet marketing, SEO (search engine optimization), key words - key phrases, back links building, writing text, making your own photos, making your own podcast, making your own video - all that is called content creation. And there is so much more.
Far too much for a good taste. And deeper I dug, wider and more complicated everything looked. I really needed many months to started to realize what an immense Virtual Property Internet really is. What a powerful Virtual Tool that could be! And that even I could find a little field there just for me - my own virtual empire.

Internet Marketing Guru Ed Dale has announced the Thirty Day Challenge 2008

A red star in my Thirty Day Challenge tool bar in my Mozilla Firefox Internet browser was flashing this morning. It reminded me that there was a new message from the ThirtyDayChallenge web site I needed to open. I immediately checked up the news and it was a video from Ed Dale about the 30DC. He has finally announced the official pre-season opening of the '30 DC 2008' on Wednesday night about 8pm, eastern time (eastern time means the time zone of eastern coast of USA, you know Boston, New York - they call it 'Big Apple' and there around).
Oh my Goodness, you simply can not even imagine, how very excited I am about this challenging event! Adrenaline is flushing all over my body and my face is red-ish like I would have been drinking too many pints of lager.


p.s.
Learning and trying about flickr secrets which Ed has been mentioning all the time, but if I'm honest I really have no official clue what is that flickr fuss there all about. I am sure he is going to explain a bit more for us, who are not so lucky and fast in our Internet marketing expertize capacity.

Ed Dale reads my humble blog Apple MacBook Pro Dream and drives Prius

It crashed into my mind like a real bomb explosion this morning! When I wanted to write a new blog post, I found out there was a comment to be moderated. First, I was afraid that I offended somone in my last blog post. Second, I thought it is some advert for buying Apple Macbook pro, iMac, mac pro, mac airbook, even iPhone and iPod, which are sent regularly.
I anxiously opened the comment and I slowly read it. Wow, holly cow, I couldn't believe what I was reading. It was Ed, famous Ed Dale himself - Thirty Day Challenge. (I've already told you that my sight is not too good and that sometimes I see a very crazy melted letters and graphics and I need some additional time to focus my view.) Did Ed Dale really saw my blog? Did he read my posts? He had answered to my questions I had written about him, if he lives environmentally friendly life?
That was really a great and nice shock to me. I was so very excited, that I needed to read the Ed's comment a few times more to be sure it was him. He as a top expert in his profession, who knows thousands of important people and who is socially connected to thousands of more, has taken his precious time to read my humble newbie-beginners blog full of mistakes? I am speechless.

He drives a Toyota Prius, the same as beautiful and gorgeous actress Angelina Jolie. He also has an energy efficient household.

I wanted to continue my writing from my last post about prime sources of modern Internet marketing knowledge. I wanted to reveal at least one of them. I wanted to write about real good leadership, which is a necessity in any successful activity of any group of people. There is no successful project without a good project leader. (this old Roman saying sounds very posh and it pronounces a basic condition for something...: 'Conditio sine qua non.' WOW, I found a mistake on Wikipedia - in original old Roman texts it was spelled as conditio, not condicio, yet the pronunciation of both spellings is the same - different spelling is due to a difference between classic and traditional Latin).

One wrongly spelled letter does not do any harm in life, yet it could lead computer to calculate a wrong result, because computers do not make mistakes considering basic calculations and logic operations. However, in Internet marketing and especially in SEO (search engine optimization) and social bookmarking it is sometimes very advisable to commit some little, simple mistakes to differ from the crowd. People do make mistakes, while typing their words in google search. How do I know? I am doing similar mistakes constantly when I need to search for something. And if you look at Google Analytics about which key phrases = key words have brought traffic to your web page you could find so many spelling mistakes in search phrases. Google is our new God, who we should all obey and respect unconditionally, no matter if the God likes us and rewards us by climbig up the rankings or punishes us by dropping in search engine ranking, or even excludes us to prison called google sandbox and supplemental index.
A little planned mistakes in social bookmarking - tagging could help your link to be seen as unique and regular, not just as spamming array thorough the myriad of social bookmarking web 2.0 web sites, created by SocialMarker, SocialPoster and many more professionally written software for performing social bookmarking in a half or a fully automatized/robotized manner on PC Windows/Vista or apple macbook pro Leopard.

I wanted to write about many different topics today, but I am simply too excited by Ed Dale's comment and I need some more time to rethink what I had meant to write. I wanted to write about his work, I wanted to write about his openness, kindness and down to the earth stand in life, even though he is ultra successful business wise.
After his comment I need to reshape and resize my thoughts to look more natural and not directly influenced by his presence here.

Ed, I simply need to admit: You made my Saturday! I need so little to be highly motivated and to continue my journey to the land of web marketing. Thanks, I hope I am soon going to join the happy world family, who run apple macs, imacs, macbooks, iPhones, iPods, and especially Leopard OS.


p.s.
a positive comment made by Ed Dale from the Land of Oz means much more than just a little

Just another beautiful day to apple laptop macbook-ing (pro)

Early sunny morning. The day is still young. My cup of coffee was as usually delicious and refreshing, even though without my desired apple macbook pro (oh, how that coffee can make my day to start it smoother and easier). In recent weeks I was thinking a lot about Internet marketing, social bookmarking, social networking, content creation, SEO, and all those very many other web 2.0 computer software technologies. I have read tens and tons and teens of different web sites, blogs, eBooks, emails and email newsletters, web pages. More I have read, more I've slowly started to realize where the true quality of Internet marketing teaching lies/rests/lives. Where these basic sources of web marketing wisdom really are.

Are there really any basic origins of Internet marketing out there? Are you sure or you are just making up to grab enough attention around you to feel more important in your 'miserable low life'? These days everyone wants to become a celebrity. A celebrity chef, celebrity singer, celebrity footballer, celebrity Big Brother. There is no end of celebrities. How could I trace some celebrity Internet marketers or rather marketeers, if I am not skilled in spying and other clandestine detective techniques?
Maybe, by following the footprints of knowledge and simple use of a tinny pinch of a common sense which anyone of us certainly possesses, as a default by our genetics, from our mothers and fathers and grandparents, as well. There is a journey to find a secret nest of holly web marketing knowledge out there. It is going to be very rough and painful and you are going to spend tens, better to say hundreds or even thousands of hours, if you want to reach that holly grail of web wisdom to allow you to become truly financially independent for good.
Is it worthwhile? Such a sacrifice of my spare time? What about my social life, my buddies, my pub, my night club, my gym, my rowing classes, my travels, visits of my relatives and parents? Do I need really to sacrifice all of those for getting a really mature, boring professional in web business, who knows enough about it to become free for ever? The answer is plain and short: YES. It is going to be a travel of epic dimensions similar to that of James Bond Agent 007 or Harrison Ford in Indiana Jones, yet you won't travel on horse, ship, plane, boat, train. You won't be surrounded by beautiful, heavenly attractive, young girls but through the WWW = world wide web, equipped by computer, web browser and broadband Internet connection. You are going to stare into your screen, even though your eyes are going to be very sore and red in the middle of the night, while honest people sleep. There is no other chance to achieve the title of IM guru, without a great sacrifice. If you wanna travel the world really wildly, if you wanna enjoy on the Copacabana beach in Brazil, be accompanied by beautiful young ladies, and be served by smart butlers serving the most exotic chilled cocktails, there is only one way: sit down and study and forget about the rest of the world surrounding you.

In old times, wise people would have always given advise to younger, less skilled and less experienced members of the tribe=public: 'trace the money - follow the money'. That is certainly the best and the oldest technique in the planet, beside betrayal and getting information by physical or mental torture, as American President knows so very well, that he has even legalized 'weatherboarding', 'waterbeding', or how do they spell that terribly famous and ultra fashionable CIA torture? And all that in modern times of 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008? I am sure, that the President has been experienced, has been tested this trendy torture method personally on himself alone, before he legalized it and pronounced it, as a very useful and not harmful to human life.
Indeed, I have no wish for any dirty and bloody technique, but follow the money will do, as it has been done through the all long history of mankind, so many times.

Internet marketing = steeling ideas and copying them from other web gurus and publishing them on your own web site. Nowhere in any world activity which involve people they take = copy - I won't call that stealing so many ideas, words, pictures, digitized films, sound tracks in mp3 format(especially for the famous Apple iPod), and many more different data, as it is happening every day in Internet marketing. It seems, that everybody is copying everybody. People who haven't earned a dime for themselves are proudly teaching and loudly preaching of how to earn $millions almost instantly overnight? It is true, that many things are possible on the Web, but what is certainly not possible is getting rich online without an appropriate knowledge and good computer skills on apple macbook pro, if possible. If there are a few exceptions out there, that just confirms the previous sentence and certainly cannot be generalized to many more people.
'Give me your emails!'
'Sign here for my newsletter!'
'Subscribe to my RSS feed by pressing that huge, orange RSS Feed button!'

and other similar ways of how to obtain individual email address for building my own Mailing List, which is a total Must for any web promoter. Without these features I simply can not perform a successful business in IM department. Bombarding and spamming my mailing list by never ending selling offers, where I need to especially state a scarcity of a product or service I am selling. And I also need to offer a huge discount to my email bombarded clients, which needs to be written by colored, big letters. And in any case, I should forget to include carefully constructed and highly positive testimonials from happy customers, who have already bought my services and products and who had been felt an urgent pressure of expressing their praises about me, my products and my services. It looks like they are worshiping me. Me - I, as their Internet marketing guru, who is taking them carefully holding their hand along the road to Internet enlightenment. I am profoundly touching and improving their lives and they are immensely grateful to me.
Testimonials in text form, as podcast in audio form (and remember, there is nobody better out there, than Lisa Hartwell and her company audiblemarketing.com) and in recent time in the form of video testimonials, which are of course, far the most successful and persuasive. However, not many of us really feel comfortable in front of the video camera and booking my hair stylist only for this occasion, could be a very expensive and highly annoying task, doesn't it?

Tracing and following the knowledge have finally brought me to the right people for my learning highway to the web marketing, social bookmarking, social networking, web2,3.0, SEO, grrrr.
Wow, I am tired and I am going to continue next time...

p.s.
Am I going to see my Apple MacBook Pro 17 glossy, soon? Who knows? My wallet sucks!

What a beautiful, sunny Monday for MacBook Pro wondering

I am going to remember this Monday, because the weather was simply immaculate for this climate which is constantly changing from sunny to rainy and back in just a few minutes. Spring nature is blooming everywhere and it is so very tempting to go outdoor and to walk, walk, walk, or simply to lie on the fresh, green grass somewhere more remote and do absolutely nothing, except maybe to dream about one new apple macbook pro which is coming closer and closer to my reality.
Well, that is a theory, practical life is quite different if one needs to stay indoor, especially because I needed to stay indoor in front of the computer screen and only here and there I managed to look through the windows to admire gentle beauty of this spring time.

London has got a new major Boris Johnson. Tired Ken Livingstone has retired and was replaced by young 'bullish guy', with Russian name, what I believe is a very good sign, considering properly addressing and truly attacking London criminals in the City. Much tougher approach is urgent to introduce a 'zero tolerance policy', which new major had chosen for his election campaign. (Rudolph Guliani had been very successfully introduced 'zero tolerance policy' in New York many years ago). A good measure of 'Russian tactics' is going to be needed to clean London of guns, knives and muggings everywhere. This change in London top leadership has been more than welcome. Good luck Boris!

Internet marketing is a huge topic. More I dig into, bigger and wider it looks to me. Am I going ever to understand this topic more to be able to perform it for a living? All these SEO (search engine optimization) - off and on page, social bookmarking, social networking, content creation, marketing, conversion, adsense, web2.0, web3.0, etc. And all those web marketing ingredients totally spiced by google. Google is everywhere in the topic of Internet marketing. Google is beginning...google is the end. Google is a God of modern civilization. A Big Brother and controller of life. If one doesn't know, how to please and satisfy this corporate Data giant, one has no chances for a distant and successful living on Internet. I am learning to serve this power. I am learning to be a servant of google, to worship it and to praise it. This slavery has begun a few months ago and I am still green newbie in this amazing virtual world. I am a google slave, but I love it this way. I sincerely hope, that my future job is going to be Internet marketing or something similarly virtual what I could perform from anywhere in the planet, if there was a broadband Internet connection, Apple MacBook Pro and Leopard operating system.

Ma.gnolia as a flower tree and a Web 2.0 social bookmarking entity

Here, you can see a beautiful magnolia tree in its best appearance.

Ma.gnolia is also a Web 2.0 bookmarking entity. I wanted to describe it more precise, but I found out, that the guys at Ma.gnolia have really nice story about their site. Here is just a part of that story and Ma.gnolia link, so you could check it by yourself:



'What is Ma.gnolia? To understand Ma.gnolia completely, let us tell you a story. It's a story we like to call "And on the First Day, There was a Search."

Really, on the first day there was just one web page. Then there were two, and a link was made between them. Before long, there were lots of web pages, with many many links between them, and suddenly we needed specialized web sites to help us find other web sites. And the term 'search engine' became part of our new web vocabulary.'

Most people hate Mondays!

Most people hate Mondays, but I truly like it. It is the very beginning of every new week. A week which should be as promising as it could be every new week. I expect that something promising and nice is going to happen this week in March, considering my unrealized dream about Apple Mac Pro computer in any form, really. I just want to have it and to work with...every single day from that moment on. After that Ed's video about iChat, I am truly poisoned by Leopard, rather said: successfully seduced by that awfully, incredible new Apple operating system.
I am 'catching' myself spending more and more hours reading and studying about Internet marketing, SEO, webmastering and similar stuff. I am sure, that I've spent much more than 300 hours about this topic, already. Maybe, I should spend another 300 by practical testing different techniques in real life - on the web and just find new profession, which is going to pay me more to buy my new Apple MacBook or so, much faster. If I could only have a suitable credit record to get machine by loan. Well, that was my painful lesion, if you work too long in
volunteering. On the other hand, I've got much more experiences about the life and the real, cruel world out there, when you move from Christchurch Avenue in NW6, leave London, and cross the British border for the south east.
