Wonderful, thoughtful, and soft spoken, I could tell right away that this observant man was hiding a vast intelligence and was taking in everything around him. He’s the kind of guy complete strangers feel completely at ease with. A good all around guy.

And if you’re lucky enough to be his friend on facebook, you’ll see that he loves his kids as much as he loves life.

Throughout the time I’ve known him, I have found him to be generous, caring, understanding, motivated, and last but not least, a very inspiring person.

When I don my headphones to partake in the audio journey no doubt before me, I know that I will most likely again be enchanted by his gifted talent.

Please take the time to check him out, buy his stuff – its awesome and comes from the heart of a modern day audio Michelangelo.

Love you brother

Managed Hosting is a type of web hosting, whereby the service provider manages the hosting needs for the customer. This is ideal for those who require complex hosting solutions but do not want to, or don’t have the expertise to, manage it themselves. It is most widely used within business. So, what exactly do you get for your money.

You can expect your website to be hosted on a dedicated server, meaning it will not be shared with other sites. All hosting equipment and hardware will be of high quality. If you wish to, you should be able to have a choice of operating system.If your hosting is fully managed uptime should be high; at around 99% or more. You are paying for a quality service so any less than this is not really acceptable. There shouldn’t be many problems with the hosting in general, and any issues should be quickly resolved by the service provider. There should be plenty of bandwidth available, although this will depend on the package you choose. With Managed Hosting the overall hosting service should be of a high quality.

Administration is a task that a lot of people would rather not do, and this is often taken care of. Again, this is dependant on the provider and package you choose. This will mean there is even less to worry about.

You shouldn’t have to think about your website’s hosting too much as it is the hands of the experts. The support should be of a high level, which is something many people believe to be the most important part of web hosting and a major advantage of managed hosting. You site will usually be monitored twenty-four hours a day, meaning any issues are spotted and fixed in a timely manner.

There is plenty of technical support and assistance on hand with Managed Hosting. The hosting companies’ employees are experts so have the relevant skills and experience to deal with your hosting. Their expert assistance is especially useful if you are a novice and don’t fully understand web hosting yourself. This is why a lot of people and businesses choose Managed Hosting.

There is plenty of choice as to the package you go with. There are plenty of options available – from fully managed to hosting where only certain aspects are managed. It is important to choose a package that suite your needs and prices vary depending on the package.

Not all companies offer the same services. Different companies define managed hosting differently. Some only managed some areas of you site but still call their service managed hosting, while others offer a fully managed service. It is important to know what service you will be getting before you purchase your managed hosting package.

Coach Deb is one of my favorite marketers of all time! (Including those seven lifetimes in the Heaven galaxy where marketing excellence is topped by Coach Deb II- but that’s a different post, haha!)

Well, anyways, when Coach Deb asked for some twitter accountability and since I was doing massively important twitter research–ha! I figured I’d help her out.

But the hour Coach Deb asked for came and went, so out comes the twitter whip!

As of 13:31 Central Time, Coach Deb has 15 minutes to finish her post or I post a Coach Deb Failed Her Task post!

tick tock, Coach Deb, you’ve got 15 minutes babe!

Seacrest out!

Coach Deb fan

It was only scheduled for one hour, but fate (in the guise of my posting the wrong time, doe!) and some interested attendees, conspired to it ending up two hours long!

We covered tons of stuff and even found a new niche that is seeming to have tons of traffic, without SEO savvy competitors –GoldMine!

Here’s the catch –  audio on my part was terrible! My system automatically mutes my mic and sound was leaking through, but the audio on the rendered audio was crap!

The bonus for you, my money making friend, is that I’m going to re-schedule the webinar, but this time throwing in MORE info, MORE free products, MORE how-to, and MORE demonstrations of what to do after you have your site up!

SO stay tuned for the sign up info!

Same Bat time, same Bat channel!

Seacrest out!

24,400% Traffic Increase!

Hmmm…  I dont wonder how that happened….haha!

It’s actually my wife’s rule, ha!

So,  we were watching the show today and I was taken aback with the ‘bigger’ girls that were trying out!  Oh yeah!

(You see I’m a reverse Shallow Hal – Big is Beautiful!) And I was saying ‘About Time!’

But, of course, it was just the part of the tryouts where they let everyone show up and my girls didn’t get even close to making the real tryouts – bummer.

So anyways it got me to thinking about my DCC love Erica Jenkins.

Does anyone know why she’s not on the team this year?

For my birthday, I actually got an autographed pic of her from my wife. Sweet, huh?

Now that I think about it, I think she’s my friend on MySpace… I’ll be back…

In the meantime, here’s a vid from the CMT site, enjoy!

The section you are reading now is where I post daily/weekly/yearly (depending on when I get a round Twoit, haha).

Here you’ll find things like news from my travels, new products I’ve tried and loved/hated and sometimes loved-hated!, and other things that have taken my focus for the time being.

Some of the topics are created from emails I receive and rather than sending the same response over and over, I’ll create a post that I can refer people to, sweet!

Some of the topics are just for the hell of it.

To the right of this section is the Twitter Posts sidebar. Here is where you’ll find some of my most recent posts in Twitter.

If you don’t know what Twitter is, well, I guess you can describe it as a sort of online text message center for thousands of your “closest” friends, ha!

I laugh because you’ll find that most of the people who follow you, might have never heard of who you are! I have something like 1300 followers and hell I’d be hard pressed to name 1300 people from my home town – where I was raised and spent 18 yrs in!

Let me tell you the benefit of Twitter though: It is the one place you can connect directly to people you wouldn’t be able to connect with in the “real” world as easily!

I follow and am followed by several leading authors, internet marketing gurus, movie stars, politicians, millionaires – you name it!

I have literally been able to connect to MC Hammer. Really! I sent him a Twitter and he responded directly back at me. Let me tell you the man is a nice guy! Great family man. You can follow him at  www.twitter.com/mchammer.

To the right of the Twitter sidebar is an optin box. Optin boxes are used in marketing to allow marketers to connect with people looking for information/products/services that the marketer is providing.

On my pages, I have included an optin box that will share an interview I did with Pat O’Bryan. In this interview, we covered alot of interesting topics – topmost being how you, yes you!, can start an online business with only around $20. Pat outlines exactly how to do that in the interview —meaning I won’t be sharing that here!  Go and sign up to listen to the interview, sometime around   NOW! haha!

Underneath the optin box for Pat’s Interview is a list of products and services that are some of the best sellers at ClickBank.

ClickBank is a site that allows people to sell their digital products (ebooks, programs et al) and does so through direct selling (vendor to consumer via the vendor’s website) or through the use of affiliates, which is where the grease meets the fire!

Basically, this is how it works (all you ClickBank experts out there hold your tongue, haha!):

1. You create an amazing product but are having trouble getting enough traffic to your website to really make the number of sales you’d like to make.

2. You sign up with ClickBank. Yes there are fees and setup to go through, but it’s relatively easy to do.

3. Other people who are interested in the same area as your product (they either have blogs or websites that promote those types of products) sign up to promote your product. For the extra sales these affiliates bring in, you pay a commission. This commission can be anything you set once you list your product.

Many vendors set commissions of 50% and up! Here’s why:

1. The product you’re selling is a digital product, which means you have no overhead for storing it or manufacturing it and sending it out when you make a sale. This means the sale is pure profit to you! The 50% + commission you pay out is well worth it because the affiliate is doing all the work on promoting your product! They don’t get paid unless they refer a sale and you bet they want to make a sale! After all, all they have to do is refer as many people to your site as they can (many do so for free!) These referrals then convert to sales (statistically speaking) and this means free money to the affiliates!

Of course, then ClickBank takes their cut, but overall everyone is happy in the end.

There is a way to make money with ClickBank without having a website or a product. But you’ll have to bribe me to tell you!

That pretty much covers the three sections I’ve included in my site.

Let me know if I can help you create your own site or get into the business of making money online. If I can’t show you how to do it, I’ve got lots of friends I can refer you to!

Mando!

The U2 360 Tour stage is amazing.

The pic below has not been altered in any way. You’re seeing what I saw!

Opening up for the band was a band I had never heard of until I checked online before the show, Snow Patrol. Of course, mind you, I’m a work at home researcher and for the most part just listen to a select few tunes (Mark Romero and Kute Blackson among the top) and havent really listened to too much of what’s out there lately.

What I found on youtube was pretty good. They have a great sound and the front man kinda reminds me of a good friend, Ned Kraft, except with a shorter haircut and a British accent, ha!

Here’s a vid from this group. Check it out!

We were able to walk to Apollo Theater from where we were staying and see the tribute that was being built at the Apollo by all of Jackson’s fans.

It was a moving sight, with people dancing and singing and crying. Lots of people were there when we got there and I took some video to share with everyone who wasn’t able to make the trip.

Here’s the vid below, enjoy!
