Twitter trumps email.
Every time.
That’s my opinion.
Twitter limits anything you say to a maximum of 140 characters. For messages needing lengthier prose, you need to point your followers to a web site, blog or report.
Email, though permitting longer notes, is often more ‘acted upon’ when the message is brief and ‘to the point’. This […]

Some weeks back, I built a network of Squidoo lenses on a topic that’s shortly about to get VOLCANIC HOT!
Yes, Jeff Walker’s Product Launch Formula 2 is set to release on March 27th.
It’s a high-ticket product, with a price of around $2,000 - and pays out a rich affiliate bounty of close to one thousand […]

I just read Seth Godin’s blog about “Thinking Outside the (eBay) Search Box”, which led to an introduction of Squidoo’s new auction supplementing tool, SquidBids.

After the lecture, as I waited to meet C.K., I noticed the CEO of one […]

Why “Purple Cheese Fondue“?
Well, this riff is about Seth Godin’s new book, “Meatball Sundae” - and I read a few others with titles like “Chocolate Spaghetti, and Tribal Pizza, so in keeping with the theme…

On his blog, Seth Godin asked a very thought-provoking question:
“If you were alive in 1947 and knew what you […]

Today, I thought of letting everyone know about my new
exploration into Facebook - after my initial foray into
Twitter was quite rewarding.
Then, I watched a new video on Seth Godin’s blog about
Web 2.0 - and something he said in the last 1 minute
made me pause and think.
That’s why I chose to blog this instead. See […]

I first wrote this post some months ago.  In light of the recent ‘Squidoo Slap’ (the catchy term used to describe ranking drops on Google of Squidoo lenses), this once again gains relevance.
I’m republishing it primarily for the attention of buyers of my ‘Squidoo Marketing Secrets’ and ‘Advanced Squidoo Profits’ reports, since the ‘gloom and […]

The instinctive answer most infopreneurs and online business
owners would give to this question is:
“Why, for myself, of course!”
But think about it for a moment - and read this carefully.
I’m going to share 2 case studies that will open your eyes to
reality.  They are based on things that happened to me in the
last week.
#1 - On […]

Just for fun, and because some
folks accused me of creating my latest ebook,
ADVANCED Squidoo Profit Secrets

to help the black-hat SEO crowd and spa.m mers,
I went on the offensive and created this lens…
Squidooism - the religion!
