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,
