Blog Claim for Technocrati

Well we are settling into another night shift here at the capital of Bohemian Bourgeois.  Like everyone else who does business in this world, we are working over time.  Today we are reviewing all the marketing channels for www.DestinationBillion.com and things seem to be going pretty well.  AdSense revenue is up even though traffic is down month over month.  Content is all updated so that is good.  

Progress continues slowly on www.AmericanEducationAffiliates.com however everything is in place as soon as I get my new copy of the Adobe Creative suite... well that call will be the next one I guess!  Hahah, if writing does anything it helps you sort out your priorities!  There are a few minor formatting changes to make on that site before we push for new network education offers.  As progress progresses on AEA we will keep working on the back end for www.GreenEducationAdvisors.com  and www.CanadaEducationAdvisors.com

So stay tuned, in the next couple weeks we will launch a number of new marketing initiatives that should start to drive significant traffic to the new sites, enough to actually start working on the optimization!

Thanks for reading, lets talk again soon.

Wow, tweeting, digging, and analysing! I dont even know how to spell analize.... Good luck buddy!  You will be dead any day now.  Hahaha not likely, i am a survivor.  I will be eating seaweed and green ling long after the stock market evaporates into thin air.  

That said, the fact that citigroup posted profits the other day is an obscene example of how sick the financial system is.  arnt they on the verge of break up??  Hahah, that would be like me buying my girlfriend a ring right before we break up!  Ouch.... lucky no one reads this blog!  Hahah!  

More on the stock market: Anyone who thinks USA stocks are a long term investment is ... stoopid.  These days a company is only as good as its founders will to rule the world.  Oh ya and watch out for China.  They will rule the world (again) soon enough.  Lucky i love dim sum.  That said, there is no reason to believe a company that comes out with the killer ap today will still be around in 20 years.  Does anyone remember Corell??  They invented the spread sheet.  And now... ask anyone younger than me and they will have never heard of it.  Think Google will be around in 50 years??  Maybe, maybe not.  Facebook is already sending more traffic to some sites than Google is http://adage.com/digital/article?article_id=135112.  Think Facebook will be around in 50 years!  Hahah good lord I hope not.  

You read it here first: The life of a company will become shorter and shorter as we drive into the future.  There is no such thing as a blue chip anymore.  If you are going to buy stocks, get them at the IPO, hold them for a couple years and then sell them to the hopeless schmuck who still believes he can get rich working for someone else.  Hiring execs to run companies forever just doesnt work anymore.  Everyone is out for themselves these days.  Everyone wants to be a rock star.  You put someone else at the helm of your company they will milk all the cash they can out of it then watch it die from their estate in ... where ever.  Is anyone paying attention to the financial crisis??

We are just back from LeadsCon in Las Vegas.  I love tech shows in Vegas, well anything in Vegas really! Hahaha.  LeadsCon was great, way more specific to our business than say Affiliate Summit.  I always feel like a bit of a round peg in a square hole there.  We went to pretty much every presentation and learned plenty.  We have launched our latest greatest site www.AmericanEducationAffiliates.com to not much fan fare but plenty of good feed back from the people we spoke to about it.  These are people that matter, people who are well connected in the business for sure, and most importantly, people who will buy our leads!

Onward, Destination Billion

Back again

Blown off so much work there is too much to write about! When the economy is on its knees, you shouldnt be working, you should be out spending!! Hahaha, keep the wheels turning and take advantage of fire saled gear and optimal conditions at your favorite surf break or back country powder field.

On that note I am heading down to the Galapagos Islands on Jan 29 back Feb 10. In the mean time I will be adding some serious content to the www.DestinationBillion.com home page, and it will become a forum where everyone who cares to join the club can post up pics and movies about how they blew off work because they are the boss.

In other news Affiliate Summit West (Las Vegas Baby!!) was an all out balls out success. Look for lots of new projects coming up in the next days and weeks.

Peace love and prosperity to all,

Blogging, what is it good for.

Links man, links!!! Ok look, I have not made a sweet cent from this lovely medium, but hey, its theraputic. A couple weeks ago, Google kicked me in the nads. Well I guess I had them hanging out there. I had some cheap traffic so I threw it at my site, and as with any venture, you get what you pay for. So they gassed my ads. I came to blog and me ads were gone, gone man, GONE!! Ironically I had already discontinued the traffic as I knew it was more or less shite and I did not want to gas my quality score. After an impassioned plea, they restored my add code and away I went. The next day I had 3 adsense clicks!! So I love adsense. Ok, I do, I admit it. I am converting as high as 46%!!! So that to me is about as good as it gets. Now I just need da mad hizzles yo!!! So to round out the matter, whatever is going to bring high quality traffic to my site is what needs focus. Ok, as we all know links are critical. Each little link from the signature of this blog is one of thousands needed to keep 'em all coming. And the real gravy train is yet to come. There is some more tweaking to the site that still needs to happen, however this is a perpetual condition. We must move ahead then! Ahead at full speed, onwards upwards to eternity, to the end.

Post On Video Part I

Video is the new pink, and has been my bain for the last few months. It all started in earnest after the ECom Expo when I discovered a firm who does the….(claimed to do) the virtual spokesperson video hosting and production. I never really fancied the animated avatar; a cartoon babe didn’t really sell the sizzle for me. I needed a real live spokes person. A video babe as I called it was going to propel destination billion into the stratosphere. Fortunately I didn’t order a brand new yacht before finalizing details with said firm because although I had my video babe picked out from their website they never did return my calls or emails. I found another firm peddling a similar service for over 3 times the price. They were very good at getting back to me however I didn’t really feel that a 30 second spot justified a $1000 purchase especially because the new skis that I had picked out also cost $1000 and would net significantly more than 30 seconds of pleasure. Further more the whole point of the thing was to have regular video updates.
I have been uploading YouTube Videos and posting them on my sites for quite some time now but never really saw them as the vehicle I wanted, however after seeing a smaller version of such on the affiliate summit website I was instantly sold. Watch for videos to spring up all over my sites. Seriously, he who has the most video wins.
