And it rocked…

Hitting goals personally and professionally are connected and I’m having a blast doing both. To top it off, how groovy is it to be able to run on amazingly clean part of California’s coastline.

Here’s a few shots of where this 5k took place in Avila Beach, California.

I swear Aunt Bee and Opie live here in what I lovingly refer to as “Kansas on the Coast”

Not only did I hit the goal of running 2.5 miles today but also did this while running hills. I’ll have the goal of running 3.x miles needed for me to start doing 5ks on weekends by the end of this coming week.

I will also have my first 2 information/service products done within this time frame. One will be on SEO friendly/hacks to popular forum scripts (phpbb, vbulletin, and simplemachines)…the other on the domaining (and development) industry.

Speaking with a client of mine today, the topic of how to create a custom paypal button came up. So instead of leaving that bit of information in email space I thought I’d share with anyone else that stumbles upon this blog:

1) Log into paypal
2) Click on “Merchant Services” (dark blue tab in top middle of page)
3) Click on > Website Payments Standard (on left side navigation menu)
4) Now you can choose on what type of item you want to sell:

a) Sell Single Items (This is the case for most people)
b) Sell Mulitple Items
c) Accept Contributions
d) Accept Recurring Payments (great for hosting, & ongoing service contracts or consulting retainers)
e) Sell Gift Certificates

For our purposes we’ll now go into the Sell Single Items menu

What the hell are you talking about Sean?

Yeh, I hear ya… Well the wife and I decided to start training for a triathalon this coming year and I need to put together that 3.x miles of running. I haven’t run 2 miles straight in many many many years so this morning was an accomplishment.

Why am I blogging about this? Quite simple. I find that my recent (only been able to do 1 mile and about 45-50min on my bike) training has really been helping me focus getting projects done for myself and clients.

Taking action daily, scheduling things in life that are important, working through things that are blocking you (pain, distractions, etc) just seem to…well…be what works!

I encourage you to push through whatever is in your way. Schedule your life and make it happen, it feels awesome.

(Yes, some of this is my endorphins speaking and it feels great!)

I was reading one of my favorite domainer blogs today (Frank Schilling’s - 7 Mile) and thought I’d pass along a quote I am totally ‘feeling’ these days when talking to clients:

“In life, attitude is altitude. When most people don’t understand the usefulness of domain names and half the population doesn’t use the Internet, there is still a great deal of untapped opportunity for you to make your mark, but you’ve “gotta wanna”. Find a good name, create a rudimentary site and repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat.. Buy low sell high and repeat, repeat, repeat.. Find your sweet spot add value for an existing player and repeat, repeat, repeat. The world is your oyster.”

So who else has posted their resume online?  Until today I can not say that I ever have in a public way.  After having been asked a few times for a copy of mine…no I’m not looking for a  J-O-B…I decided to make use of a domain I picked up a year or so ago.

So you want to do some podcasting? Great idea! Producing high quality content in a variety of media formats is something I consult clients on on a very regular basis. Your job as an Internet Marketer or a business owner, professional, or hobbiest online is to run around the interwebs and sprinkle your “_____ was here” fairy dust.

Before I go off on a tangent let me get back on track here. Podcasting, what is it. Simply creating an mp3 of yourself describing something or you doing an interview with someone. Once that’s done you need to wrap it up in a very specific rss (enclosure) format that I will cover in a future post and then get to submitting it to all of the major podcast directories (also will be included in an upcoming post).

Here is one of the most significant places you need to submit your podcast to — odeo.com. After you’ve submitted it you’ll want to do what they refer to as “claim it”…this simply involves logging in grabbing some html code and pasting it on your blog or specific rss feed.

Here’s a sample of what it looks like:

My Odeo Channel (odeo/aeac84fdcac45a0f)

Sound simple? It is once you walk through it a few times. For those that want a more hand holding, step by step guide, stay tuned! I’ll be putting out a guide on this in the very near future.

Take care and have a great rest of the week!

PS: If you have a profitable business online and are tied up in other projects or just not sure how to take it to the next level and are considering selling it…shoot me an email. I have an active group of buyers that are currently looking to buy online businesses in multiples of 18-36 months income…covering roughly the $40,000-$400,000 price range. If I negotiate a successful acquisition of your website/business my fees are 15% of the transaction figure.

The inspiration of this post is that I have a fairly new client that I’ll be setting up some PPC work for next week and was reviewing my game plan. Here are some of the obvious things I’ll need to make sure I am NOT doing and correcting if it was being done previously.Top 5 PPC Mistakes:

1. None or Poorly Handled Tracking
2. Poor Quality (Score) Landing Pages
3. Over Reliance on One Source
4. Too Few Keywords & Ego
5. Bad Adcopy & Layout

Let me explain a bit on each point…

To all of those that are currently serving in the military my hat’s off to you.

I spent a few years in the USAF myself, but considered much of what I had to do a piece of cake compared to what’s going on in the world now.  Also much of the time I was deployed I was single which makes things a tad bit easier.  The men and women that are deployed now, in harms way…are really deserving a big heartfelt “Thank You.”
