My 20th birthday is coming up, and it’s actually sort of sad. “Teenager making a living online” sounds so much better than “Guy in his 20s makes a living online” haha. Nah I’m kidding what do I care. Only 1 more year until the big 21.

Anyways just letting you guys know I probably won’t be doing much posting in the next few days. I have plans for my birthday tomorrow, and then on Saturday I’m throwing a housewarming/birthday party at my new house. I’ll have videos of that soon, still waiting on my couch to come in so it kind of looks empty and we want the full effect.

I feel bad making a post and not saying something useful that could make you guys some more money…hmm.

Ah ok. I’m not sure if I said this before, but don’t overlook foreign markets. I’ve done some dabbling and have found pretty good volume in UK search. Search around and ask your affiliate managers for some good ideas on UK offers and see if you think you can build a page that would convert. A lot of times UK offers have little to no affiliate competition. The next biggest would probably be AU (Australia) traffic. Give them a look, you may find some gems ;)!

Have a good one guys.

I’m debating a few things in regards to my blogging, and to settle the debate there’s no better place to turn to than my readers.

This blog started all about affiliate marketing, and is still pretty much all about affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing is my baby, and will probably represent the largest percentage of my income for a long time. Other ways of making money online interest me as well…including things like development and blogging.

So my question to you guys is : would you like to see posts about other ways of making money online, or making money in general?

Let’s take blogging for example. My goal with blogging was not to make money, just to establish connections and build a readership/help people. But as the traffic grew, I realized it was just stupid to not monetize it. So making money with blogging has started to become a hobby, although I still don’t really try to monetize it hardcore. Point of this being, I’ve learned quite a bit about blogging over the past 6 months or so, and could probably give some helpful tips on the topic. I’m happy with the growth of traffic and loyalty of my readers in this blog, and it’d be cool to help other people do the same (and make some money doing it).

That’s basically it. I have other things I want to do as well and would talk about them here, such as developing my own offers, starting offline businesses, and investing in real estate. I’ll slap a poll on here to get a general idea, but don’t be shy; drop some comments and let me know what you want to see.

Just got in from Florida, now I have a crapload to unpack, mail to read, and phone calls to make. So while you’re all waiting for tomorrow when I have time to make a big post, here’s a video of me attempting to conquer the mechanical bull at Old Town in Orlando.

The video is crappy I’m still fooling around with using Flip movies in iMovie and it cropped it all wrong.

Whatup guys, I’ll be going on vacation tomorrow for a week. I’ll be in Florida with my girlfriend just hanging out and relaxing. I’ve been doing nothing but work work work for the past year, and any trip was for business. Now I’m going to just try and relax as much as I can for a week and just recompose myself so when I come back, I’ll be ready to hit everything twice as hard. I’ll still have my laptop with me and I’ll spend a half hour or so each day checking/optimizing everything, so it’ll still pretty much be the same; just no new campaigns and no business phone calls.

I have a bunch of the Q&A sessions ready, boy do they come in handy. I may even take a video one on the beach. If you want to stay in touch with me, I’ll probably set up Twitter on my cell phone and be on that at the airport for a few hours tomorrow and then whenever I’m just hanging out.

I’ll probably have time to relax and whip up a nice blog post, we’ll see how it goes. The key to this week is RELAX though. Hopefully I’ll be able to come back and say “A tip for you guys : vacations help you make more money.” I’m sure I’ll be fully recharged by the time I get back. Anywho, I’ll still be blogging so you won’t even know I’m gone.
