Not long ago, blogger Brad Isaac found himself suffering from a persistent 3-day long headache that was really wearing him down. With a subscriber base of 4800+ people, he decided to turn to his blog readers for advice on DIY Headache Cures. Their response was incredible.

After the headache passed and Brad got back to work, he collected together the top 20 Headache Cures and posted them on his blog.  My very own contribution can be found in position number 16 (I recommended a neti pot for rinsing out the sinus cavities!)

Working on a new business part time can be exhausting and a bit frustrating. Sometimes it takes a while to get all of the pieces to come together. Well, this weekend, I managed to get some significant work done.

In the past year I have created several reports and a new video product which have given me some nice successes in the marketplace. I’ve promoted them individually and given some their own domains, but never tied them all together anywhere.

I’ve started a new blog over at www.GoToGuyEnterprises.com to cover my Internet Marketing activities. I just finished copying all of the significant Internet marketing related posts from this blog and posting them on the new blog. Going forward, I’ll post most of the marketing related content over there and reserve this blog for other interests,

My wife and I have taken the baby and traveled to Michigan to spend the 4th of July holiday week with my family. A number of years ago, my parents bought a house in a little community on the Lake Michigan coast and for the past 12 or 13 years, we gather there in the middle of summer.

Clickbank* has long been a favorite marketplace for selling digital products. Apart from managing the sale and delivery of e-books and software for publishers with very little upfront costs, they manage an army of affiliates who will promote a publisher’s products for a commission on the sale. Now, they have added recurring billing to their services!

Do you want to start your own business publishing information products? There is a mountain of information products out there promising to show you how to start your business. The dirty little secret is - most of these products are either incomplete or just plain garbage.

So, where do you turn for help? Well, I’ve spent the past year and a half exploring this market and building my business (this blog is one component that actually makes me a little money!) I discovered a person named Fred Gleeck, known as ‘The Product Guru’ and recently attended his One-Day Info Product Seminar.

The snowstorm on Friday stranded Fred on the west coast, so the class was canceled - I was very bummed out about that, but not surprised.

There is another class in April, so I’ll be rescheduling for then.

The Go-To Guy!

I had my most profitable online business month yet last month and decided to roll some of that back into my business by seeking out a little offline education.

Here in New York City almost every street corner has a few news boxes giving away course catalogs or free local papers. One of the course catalogs that is very popular is the Learning Annex catalog. This one is usually filled with everything from from the weird and wild like ‘How To Strip for Your Partner’ and ‘Making a Fortune In Real Estate’ to very practical computer classes and soap making classes. It’s an adult education free-for-all.

How would you like to uncover all the best deals available on Amazon.com?

I have uncovered a secret method of searching through the Amazon.com product database and showing only items that are on sale. You can pick the product category and exact discount range you want to search and Amazon will do the rest.

The rules on image placement for websites using Adsense ads has changed. Several of the techniques that Adsense gurus have been touting are now explicitly off limits.

The policy basically boils down to this: if you are using images to try and trick users into thinking that the ad and image are in some way connected - you broke the rules.

Two specific examples are given in the Adsense blog entry.
