Sometimes we go through life believing lies because the truth will force our life to unravel. Then one day the truth becomes impossible to ignore...the lies crubmle, the truth stands naked before you and the awakening begins. Awakening is good, but the
This is a personal story of my awakening. I was laid off from my job and seperated from my wife of 17 years in the same month back in 2005. The light at the end of the tunnel was the only thing I had for a while and I followed it. My life has opened up
Well I've been dreamin' a crazy dream. It's been so long now, I thought it was real
As I awaken, my eyes can see all the beauty that's been there for me
And I'm feelin' tomorrow shine, feelin' tomorrow shine
Got a brand new life ahead and Lord knows I'll be fine
Cause I'm feelin tomorrow shine.
Well I'm still realin' from this crazy dream. Starting to realize that nothing's as it seems.
It's like I'm walkin' on brand new feet, it's like I'm drivin' down brand new streets.
But I've built my life it seems, based on illusions from some crazy dream.
And when it all falls to pieces and I awaken. I come to realize, I've not been forsaken.

Accident Insurance for PC Users With Roxio's GoBack
By Jon L. Jacobi
Software that protects you from yourself: How many utilities promise that? By backing up changes to your hard drive in real time, Roxio's $50 GoBack 3 Deluxe can restore your drive to virtually any recent state, whether the damage is a destroyed report or an unstable system caused by a virus attack or a software installation.
I used my shipping copy of GoBack on a PC with a 650-MHz Athlon processor, 64MB of RAM, and Windows 98 SE. Compatible with Windows 9 x, Me, NT 4, and 2000, GoBack runs in the background and requires no intervention, but it does require at least 32MB of hard drive space. It uses 10 percent of your hard drive at installation (you can adjust the program's size, but Roxio says that choosing 10 percent lets the average user return a drive to a state two weeks in the past).
Launching the program from the system tray and choosing a Safe Point restores your hard drive to an earlier configuration. GoBack keeps a comprehensive log to use if you're unsure of the exact point when things went wrong. You may also restore files individually without disturbing other changes.
GoBack works exceedingly well for everyday computing tasks, and on a 500-MHz or better system you probably won't notice a performance hit. But if you perform heavy-duty graphics, audio, or video work, you will notice a slowdown, and such files quickly overwhelm GoBack's undo cache. Also, the software is incompatible with third-party boot managers like System Commander, and it is no substitute for backing up. For ordinary data accidents, however, GoBack could be just what the doctor ordered.

Pray for Kihomi Ngwemi and Nzunga Mabudiga, ministering in Haiti by training leaders and bringing help and encouragement to believers.November 9, 2011
Kihomi and Nzunga
Kihomi and Nzunga serve as a vital link between International Ministries and the Haitian Baptist Convention. Nzunga teaches theology at the Christian University of Northern Haiti, trains assistant professors in teaching and writing books, administers a scholarship program, and visits and preaches in churches. Kihomi works with families in the areas of counseling, family planning, and women's health issues. She also coordinates and advises the women's association of the Haitian Baptist Convention, representing women of all the Baptist denominations of Haiti at international conferences. They recently returned from a visit to their home in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Kihomi writes: Dear Loved Ones. Greetings.
Let me introduce you to Madame Claudette Deciere Venel. She is the widow of pastor Venel who died in the earthquake. Both are founders of Salem Baptist Church. In spite the death of her husband, Mrs. Claudette has remained very active in the church and helping women as their president.
What is striking to me is the fact that while the man was still alive, they built the church and their house in their personal compound. After the death of the pastor, the wife has given the propriety to the church while she does not have a place to stay in. She is renting close by.
They also started a
small school in the church to help the poor children of this neighborhood in
the capital city of Port-au-Prince.
She continues with the school but struggling to make ends meet. Housing has
been a big issue in Mrs. Claudette Venel's life with 4 children. Someone we can
call a Good Samaritan helped her get a piece of land, but no dream of how to
build even a one room house. She asked me to help her in prayer for a miracle
from GOD.
- Please join us as we pray to God for Mrs. Claudette Venel's situation and for that miracle.
- Pray for Kihomi and Nzunga as they minister for Christ in Haiti.
- Pray for the people of Haiti as they continue to recover from the devastating earthquake of over a year ago.
- Pray for the continuing – and still urgent need – of caring for the many impacted by the earthquake and for the rebuilding of that nation.

Landmark: the Fields of Photography
Following the success of Cartier-Bresson: A Question of Colour, Positive View Foundation has again teamed up with curator William A. Ewing and Somerset House to present Landmark: the Fields of Photography – a sweeping overview of the rich genre of 21st Century Landscape photography. The novel exhibition is the first of its kind anywhere to show both the harsh, even brutal realities of the changing environment, as well as its enduring and stunning beauty. 'Landmark: the Fields of Photography', supported by Barclays, is a wide-ranging and ground-breaking exhibition featuring more than 70 of the world's most highly regarded photographers from North and South America, Africa, Europe and Asia, with many of them showcasing previously unseen and recently completed works. 'Landmark: the Fields of Photography' will run from 14th March - 28th April 2013 and is curated by the globally respected curator, William A. Ewing.
Focusing on our rapidly changing planet, 'Landmark: the Fields of Photography' features more than 130 original works of art taken by enterprising photographers employing technology ranging from 19th Century plate-camera techniques to the use of planes, drones, robots and even satellites to capture vivid images of earth's varied terrain – and even distant planets. Many of the major names in photography are represented: Mitch Epstein, Nadav Kander, Robert Adams, Simon Norfolk, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Lee Friedlander, Simon Roberts, Toshio Shibata, Robert Polidori and many others contributing spectacular imagery. Also featured are striking images by a younger generation of photographers: Pieter Hugo, Susan Evans, Ivar Kvaal, Penelope Umbrico, Mathieu Bernard-Reymond, and others.
William A. Ewing, Curator of 'Landmark: the Fields of Photography' explains: "Landscape has been and remains one of the most powerful forms of photography, and is even more so in a world which is changing so fast we can hardly keep up. Rising seas, melting glaciers, the ozone hole, desertification and coastal cities under threat - we add to the list everyday. And photographers everywhere are grappling with these problems, creating brilliant pictures, which put a vivid face on otherwise abstract issues. These images range from the sublime to the ridiculous; photographers are on the front lines - our eyes and ears. But they also remind us to slow down and appreciate the beauty of the world – often where we least expect it.
"A show of this width and breadth has never been assembled, and given Britain's extraordinarily rich history of landscape painting and photography, I am particularly pleased to be presenting at Somerset House."
Andrew Page, Founder and CEO of Positive View Foundation, said: "We are thrilled to be returning to Somerset House for this, our second major exhibition after the amazing success that the recent show, Cartier-Bresson: A Question of Colour, proved to be. Working closely with William A. Ewing, we have collated the greatest contemporary landscape artists on the planet and we look forward to welcoming the public to experience the exhibition. 'Landmark: the Fields of Photography' promises to be the most innovative and ambitious exhibition on the theme of landscape for many years."
Gwyn Miles, Director of Somerset House Trust says: ''Following the huge success of Cartier-Bresson: A Question of Colour exhibition, we're delighted to be working together with Positive View Foundation and curator William A. Ewing once again in presenting what promises to be a thought-provoking and timely exhibition looking at contemporary photographers' responses to our ever-changing landscape and environment – one of the most pertinent issues of our time. With an impressive range of internationally important artists' work on display, I hope the exhibition at Somerset House will inspire visitors and provoke debate."
'Landmark: the Fields of Photography' follows on from the success of Positive View Foundation's hugely popular inaugural exhibition, 'Cartier-Bresson: A Question of Colour' also at Somerset House which ran until 27 January 2013.
Photographers to be included in 'Landmark: the Fields of Photography':
Alex MacLean, Alexandra Catiere, Amy Stein, Arno Minkkinen, Axel Hütte, Benoit Aquin, Byron Wolfe, Carlo Valsecchi, Charles March, Chris McCaw, Dan Holdsworth, Daniel Beltrà, Darren Almond, David Maisel, David Malin, Dodo Jin Ming, Edgar Martins, Edward Burtynsky, Elger Esser, Florian Joye, Gerco de Ruijter, Guillaume Brebisant, Harry Cory Wright, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Ivar Kvaal, Jamey Stillings, Jean-Baptiste Huynh, Jeffrey Blondes, Joan Fontcuberta, John Davies, John Stezaker, Justine Blau, Karin Apollonia Müller, Kent Rogowski, Lauren Marsolier, Lee Friedlander, Leonora Hamill, Liu Xiao Fang, Lois Hechenblaikner, Luca Campigotto, Marcus Lyon, Mark Klett, Mark Power, Mathieu Bernard-Reymond, Matthieu Gafsou, Michael Light, Michael Najjar, Mitch Dobrowner, Mitch Epstein, Nadav Kander, Naoya Hatakeyama, Nasa Planetary Science Division, Olaf Breuning, Olaf Otto Becker, Olivo Barbieri, Penelope Umbrico, Peter Bialobrzeski, Peter Knapp, Pierre Radisic, Pieter Hugo, Ray Metzker, Reiner Riedler, Robert Adams, Robert Bourdeau, Robert Davies, Robert Polidori, Robert Voit, Scott Conarroe, Simon Roberts, Simon Norfolk, Stéphane Couturier, Stephen Crasneanscki, Susan Derges, Susan Evans, Thomas Struth, Toshio Shibata, Walter Niedermayr, Yang Yongliang, Yao Lu.
About Positive View Foundation:
The Positive View Foundation was founded in 2011 and launched on 16 April 2012, presenting a unique approach to both philanthropy and the arts. The Foundation will regularly stage exhibitions of works and international photographers of the highest calibre. At the same time, the Foundation's Education Programme will grant the profits from these events to organisations that establish photography projects as part of educational and training programmes for disadvantaged young people.
This concept has been refined over sixteen years. A Positive View began as a personal philanthropic photography project hosted by the Saatchi Gallery in 1994 from which all donated works were later sold by Sotheby's in support of the Chickenshed Theatre Company for children with learning difficulties. Diana, Princess of Wales, was the Royal Patron of this project, and in 2010 her son Prince William became Royal Patron in his turn. On this occasion, through media partnerships and a charity auction at Christie's, over £500,000 was raised to fund an innovative photography project at Crisis, the UK's leading charity for homelessness.
By focusing on international contemporary photography of the highest level, each exhibition and gala auction attracted major media coverage and gathered high acclaim from critics. On this base of impressive global brand awareness, the Positive View Foundation is now formally launched as a charity in its own right.
For each show held at Somerset House, the Positive View Foundation will organise workshops within the exhibition space through which they can work directly with disadvantaged individuals through their partner organisations. Groups will be invited to attend dedicated tours hosted by the Curator of the exhibition and individuals will be able to book time slots to be part of small tours. Schools located in lower income boroughs of London will also have the opportunity of enjoying this unique insight.
In addition to its exhibition programme, the Foundation will hold further events throughout the year in keeping with its objectives to encourage discussion and debate. Whether drawing on the issues raised through individual exhibitions or questioning the future direction of contemporary photography itself, these events aim to engage wider audiences across the full spectrum of society.

Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny believes that last weekend's Premier League victory against Tottenham has given the squad a sense of belief.
The Polish international made his first appearance in over two months during the 5-2 win, after recovering from an ankle injury.
He believes that the nervousness of the club's recent fixtures has now been replaced with optimism ahead of their Champions League clash with Montpellier:
"We have had a couple of poor results recently, but we're back on track." He told the official Arsenal website.
"I know that the fans might have been frustrated over the last few weeks and we understand that completely, but we are buzzing now.
"I think the team and the fans work as a unit, and they were fantastic, they helped us to get a boost before the game and helped keep us going. The fans deserve a lot of credit for the result as well. We're certainly hoping that they can keep it the same and help us to win all the fixtures coming up.
"We can't wait to play our next game against Montpellier. We want to make sure we do the job properly and qualify."
The Gunners occupy second position in Group B and know that victory against the French champions will greatly boost their chances of reaching the knockout stage of the tournament.

I know it's coming and I really can't wait for Chinese designed and manufactured cars come to our country. Many will try them because the price will be amazingly low. So imagine if all the electrics in your e46 were Chinese! I'm going to laugh and laugh at people who ignore the advice to stay away from buying one.
Guess it'll be ready for all those out of work to start tow truck businesses!
there are 100% chinese cars here in the UAE. never seen one broken down at the side of the road or in an accident - but there is not a huge number on the road despite being cheap. Sort of like how Daewoo cars were cheap, but never really took off in US or Canada - their death will be lack of common wear parts.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'Governor Roosevelt' tag.
Here are the previous posts in this series.
What's unique about these photos is the season, the gray of November and absence of colors in the trees set off by the vibrant paint on Erie,
the two Governors shown together here so that you can see the difference in paint scheme–Cleveland and
Roosevelt, which different even
in nameboard.
Waterford, I'd guess, got too close to a dredge pumping operation.
All photos by Will Van Dorp.
I'm reprising this from Troy, and it's Lisa Ann. I believe she's 2012 built.
Governor Roosevelt is almost a century older, and wears 1928 on her name board now. This is Marcy NY, an Oneida County town between Utica and Rome.
Also at Lock E20, here's a clutch of boats and floats including BB152, an unidentified and in the process of being repainted tender, a dredge barge, and BB 142.
Tug Erie is there too. Anyone know when tug Erie was built?
Farther along is 1932 tug Seneca, formerly of the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
Inside the H. Lee White Maritime Museum in Oswego, here's a model of a Catherine Moran.
Here's what the label said, but according to birk's site, she's still alive and well under the assumed name of Sherry D. Anyone have photos of Sherry D out in the SF Bay area?
On the freshwater sea called Lake Ontario, it's another tugboat from 1928, Karl E. Luedtke.
Tucked away in Silo City of Buffalo, it's Daniel Joncaire II, about a year old.
In the Outer Harbor of Cleveland, it's 1954 Duluth and fleet mate
1956 William C. Gaynor.
And here approaching the south end of the Detroit river, it's 1982 tug Michigan pushing barge Great Lakes.
All photos by Will Van Dorp.
. . . with some digressions . . . . The photo below of the procession leading to the Roundup comes from Jeff Anzevino.
Digress to the left . . . on the Troy (Lansingburgh) side through the trees is Melville Park and this sign and
this house. If you're looking for a good read about Melville's later life on the waters off Lower Manhattan, check out this Frederick Busch historical novel.
Here's another shot by Jeff, taken from the 112th Street Bridge. You might recognize the crewman standing beside the wheelhouse port side. There are many other posts with photos from Jeff, such as this one.
From Bob Stopper, exiting lock 27, it's Roosevelt-late 1920s built-and Syracuse-early 1930s built. Click here for some photos Bob –and others–sent along earlier this year.
From Jason LaDue . . a photo of tender (?) Oneida taken in 2001. Anyone know the disposition of Oneida? Click here for some previous photos from Jason.
And finally, from Fred tug44 . . . locking through E2 . . . right behind us. I feel grateful to have an occasional view of self to post here. Some of you have seen some of these on Facebook.
Thanks to Jeff, Jason, Bob, and Fred for photos here.
In order . . . . Governor Roosevelt with Tender#4, Tender #4 with electric motor and unique stack, Urger, Seneca and Tender Dana on the nose, Tender Dana, "newish" antiques on Lake Oneida east end, dredge and Tender #10, Tender T-7, Governor Cleveland, Dragon dredge, derrick boat. As to the tenders, think . . a vessel for tending dredges and other vessels. For Dragon dredge, I've no idea about the story there.
Find the clue to the location of Governor Roosevelt, canal champion, in this photo? For info on the ex-president's role in saving the canal, read here. For tugster post on Roosevelt's last tug ride ride , click here. Click here for a photo of this vessel taken on a VERY cold day earlier this year.
Erie in Marcy.
One of many dredging operations ongoing . . .
A vestige of industry still extant but moved on.
Vestige of junction of current canal with old canal leading to Syracuse.
Current passers-through.
One of many self-propelled scows on the canal.
Here I need some crowd-sourcing help . . . this is former Coast Guard equipment, probably an inland buoy boat . . . but what was its official original designation?
Bow view . . .
Night time configuration.
All photos by Will Van Dorp.
Here was 28.
Click here for a photo of this tug showing its deep belly. How long has the canal owned her? Answer follows.
Click here for info on Arkansas-built Gelberman, here photographed yesterday pulling a tree out of the way of navigation.
Driftmaster I believe dates from 1947, making her older than me. Scroll through here for photos of Driftmaster helping with clean-up post Sandy.
Jersey City fire vessel Joseph Lovero is named for their dispatcher who died in that attack twelve and a half years ago.
343 arrived in the harbor nearly four years ago. Click here for the welcome ceremony in the harbor when she arrived in April 2010.
T-AKR 316 Pomeroy, named for a Medal of Honor winner who died on a Korean mountain at age 22, has been dry-docked in Bayonne for about a month now for maintenance.
Click here for more info on the Watson-class.
So we're back to the beginning. Governor Roosevelt came to the canal as a steam-powered icebreaker in 1927! I'd love to see pics of canal traffic from back then.
All photos by Will Van Dorp.
Here was the first in what could be a series. And this foto I'm happy again to credit to Bob Stopper, some of whose photos can be seen here. I'm not sure what the naming system is for Canal Corporation, but some of their vessels are named for towns with locks–like Pittsford— along the Canal.
Ditto–in this foto from my sister—Waterford. By the way, the pre-eminent website for all things Erie Canal is fred's at tug44.
In push gear and looking great at 85 years old, it's Governor Cleveland.
If I still lived up that way, I'd get one of these, a buoy boat.
I don't know how many of these there once were, but they are disappearing!
Click here for a foto of this deep looking Governor Roosevelt with her belly exposed.
There's Grand Erie, and then there's just plain Erie.
Then there are the self-propelled scows, but notice the difference in
engine exposure between this one shot by my sister and
SPS-54 shot by me
in August in Lyons.
Thanks to Bob and Lucy for these fotos. The last two are mine.
Quick and dirty . . . since forces are pulling me every which way these days. Between the Great Lakes, which Joe is warning me about, and the sixth boro, which I call home, is the Erie Canal. And some classy vessels populate it, like Governor Roosevelt. See my latest foto here. Thanks to Jason LaDue for this shot of a very substantial ice-breaking hull.
Lockport here assists Day Peckinpaugh. I hope to get to Lockport in spring.
More recently, Seneca was on the hard in Lyons. So . . . was she the one built in 1932?
Thanks to Jason for the fotos attributed to him. Here's a foto of sister Canal Corp vessel Urger in the drydock last spring.
Transitioning from the "farm tugs" post, enjoy Governor Roosevelt, sister of Governor Cleveland, both came to the canal to break ice and do other tasks in 1927 as steam tugs. If you add the ages of Governor Roosevelt, Governor Cleveland, and Urger . . . you have almost three hundred years of boat work. I found Roosevelt hauled out last weekend along the Erie Canal in Lyons.
Edna (1997) was hauled out for some work recently along
Here's a first sighting: Coney Island, built by
Blount in 1958. Here's George (a 2009 vessel with a simple name) taken recently in Lake Charles, LA.
And (once again . . . might she be languishing?) Grouper, a year away from a century old. This is how she looked last weekend, and I'd love to hear an update on efforts to bring her back to life, lest she become HMS (heavy melt steel).
George foto comes thanks to eastriver; all others by Will Van Dorp.

Because, what the heck? I'm a fool anyway.
I don't write a lot of poetry, but I enjoy when I do. Lately, I have wanted to kick up that part of my writing life half a notch. [You know, 'cause I have so much free time.] I like the change it provides me from nonfiction, and lately poetry has been getting me out of a few nonfiction writing messes too. When I just can't seem to get to the essence of a piece, I flip open my poetry notebook. The act of dealing with the part of the essay that is giving me a problem – distilling it to spare and exacting words and images -- often breaks open my mental logjam, and I return to the prose with a different perspective.
Usually, it doesn't produce a terrific poem; most of the time, not even a passable poem. On the other hand, I've had a few published. But neither is really the point.
When I used to ride horses competitively – hunters and jumpers, English style – I had one trainer who encouraged his riders to spend one day each week out of the practice ring, doing something different: ride bareback, take a fast trail ride through the woods or a walk at your horse's own pace, play 4-H style horse-and-rider games with other riders, take your horse for a walk (dog style). The point was to do something, anything, that broke up our usual routine but still was about that horse and rider connection. Newly arrived riders at this highly competitive and nationally-known stable used to scoff at the suggestion, but within weeks, they came to realize what this wise trainer knew: to get better at what you do as a rider, do something different as a horseperson.
That's how I think about poetry, at least for now. A different, but equally nourishing part of the writing life.
the pause that
There, that's my first poem. Oh, that one's taken already? Shucks. Well, I have 30 more days to go.
Anyone want to join in? I'm participating with a group of fellow students/graduates from my MFA program on a private site; but there are open sites where you can play too, like this one and this. Or start your own poem-a-day initiative by yourself or with others.
Need a nudge? Try Poefusion – where they are posting prompt a day all month.
I don't know what theirs will be tomorrow, but as for me, I'm going with foolish.
Let me know what you think and how it works out.

Hiya Lisa. I would have liked that trainer. Perspective, and the changing of same, is one of my favourite themes.
As to the poetry...I dunno. Like most writers, I frothed at the pen with poetry when young but then didn't write any for many decades. Started my first in ages just a week or two ago. Not sure if I'll return to it but you got me thinking about it....

I love this writing idea - try something out of your comfort zone! Haven't written poetry in years - could loosen me up.
Thanks - that riding story is just what I need right now cause this spring my book is an untamed horse and my hands are stiff on the reins.

Set Your Intentions
If you're not consciously occupied with positive thoughts, it's likely that you're unconsciously engaged in negative ones.
Change your thoughts and you can change your future
One of the biggest factors that has shaped my online career is this simple principle. You're thoughts are powerful. They control and shape the direction that your life is going. Unfortunately for most people, their thoughts are consumed with negativity of things such as bills to be paid, arguments they've had, and past, future, and current struggles.
What if you set intentions instead of wishing for things to happen. Try this with me. What do you want out of life? Immediate you think to yourself "I wish I could make money online" or "I wish I owned my own house". Instead of saying I wish, set those to intentions. "I intend to make money online" or "I intend to own my own house".
By changing the word 'wish' to 'intend' you can begin to create a more powerful energy in a positive direction. Exerting energy towards things that you intend to happen will go a long way towards accomplishing things you set out to do. Try it! Write down a few things you want out of life and then change those wants, desires, and wishes into intentions.
I intend to _____ _____ _____ _____.
Whenever you begin a new project or a new activity try to consider what your intentions are at that time. This will help create a focus for what you are trying to accomplish.
The principles of creating intentions for your actions in order to shape your future is not a new principle. There are many books written about it and even a movie created from one of the books. If you're into learning more about changing your mindset in order to change your outcome in life pick up the book Quantum Success. It's an easy read and will give you some basic things that you can do to help keep you focused on your intentions.
Putting your mind in the write place will go a long way towards your success in life. What are some of your intentions?
A fresh start to a new year!
One of the hardest parts about blogging (if you don't already know) is coming up with content to write about. It has been about 3 years since I was consistently blogging. My last good post was about Mobile Marketing. It's hard to blog about good stuff when you don't want to give away all your secrets… and it's even harder to blog in general when you have so much stuff going on. Blogging takes time. More time then most people would think. You have to brainstorm a topic, research about the topic you want to write about, then you have to take the time to write it all up.
I've been asked quite a bit on Facebook and in email what I have been up too these last couple of years… And so below is a brief outline of what's been going on marketing wise.
1. I started XRev Media, LLC and sold the company 2 years later. XRev was voted into the top 20 networks for MThink.com for 2013. I'm hoping it can make that list again for 2014. While I do not own the network anymore, I continue to work with the new owner and the existing affiliate managers to grow the network. The network has had continual growth since day 1 and it is really exciting to see where it has come and where it is going.
2. My passion is and always will be profit funnels. I took some time over the last 2 years to do some private consulting for several companies. These were long term consultation contracts and so I was able to see and help the companies grow because of the efforts I put in. One company went from $3MM when I came on board to $7MM the first year I was with them and $25MM in my second year with them. I've done everything from landing page optimization to fulfillment center optimization. I am a firm believer in backend profits and maximizing the amount of money you can make from streamlining all funnels and processes.
Another company I consulted for owned their own diet product. I was able to help them optimize their whole entire sales process to be able to generate between $12-$28 per first page prospect signup (depending on the traffic source). This allowed them to pay $6-$8 per optin and generate massive amounts of income by paying per lead instead of per sale. Their focus went from finding ways to make money with existing customers to finding as much traffic for their site as possible. We were even able to pay certain mailers on a cost per click (cpc).
3. Website creation is where I started my online career back in high-school. The last three years were definitely not void of creating websites for people. It's always an easy project that can net close to $300/hour when all is said and done and so I often take on small website builds for people looking to begin an online store or just to showcase their company to the world. It's an easy project that can be outsourced if I don't have time to upload a few files myself or when I'm bored and want a break I can install the backbone of the project myself.
4. Software creation has and always will be a great niche to get into because it is about providing a product that you would utilize but also a product that other people could take advantage of. You should always license that software out to other people so that they can benefit from it and so you can make yourself a little extra cash on the side. I've spent tens of thousands of dollars for my own personal programs to be created and so last year I started to license those programs out to other companies to use as well. XRev Media has their own Affiliate Manager, Network Organization and Finance tracking system apart from Cake Marketing and I have spent some time with a couple colleagues to develop our own affiliate tracking program for our personal mobile and Facebook campaigns. Both of these products are being licensed to individuals and companies to help us re-coupe some of the costs that went into their development.
5. The last thing that I have done and am still developing, is a non-profit organization. The non-profit has been up for about 6 months as of this writing and has generated a bit of donations from organic traffic. I hope to be able to recruit a team of volunteers in the coming months to be able to help generate more donations. The purpose of the non-profit is to assist veterans who have been wounded in combat. The goal is to be able to remodel homes for disabled veterans so that they can more easily maneuver their house. We can install wheelchair ramps, widen doors and hallways, as well as perform any remodel that will be beneficial to the veteran and their family.
That's the quick and dirty of what I've been up too. I plan on getting more posts up and becoming more involved in the Internet Marketing community again. I've been a little out of it with all the stuff going on but I definitely want to get back to being an active participant.
What have you been up to the last couple of years? Leave a comment below and let me know!
California Affiliate Nexus Tax
The State of California is moving foward on passing the Affiliate Nexus Tax.
Please pass this along to all those Californian affiliates that you know:
Quoted from the PMA:
"Governor Brown of California has announced he has secured enough votes to pass his budget, including the Affiliate Nexus Tax and 2 related nexus bills: AB 153, AB 155 and SB 234. The law will go into effect immediately upon signing, and he must sign before July 1st, 2011. We are doing everything we can to block this from moving forward but we believe passage is imminent.
If you are a California-based publisher, or an out-of-state advertiser, please seek immediate advise from a tax or legal professional."
Thank you Hasoffers for passing this information along to me.
Congratulations India… You've just been banned

A Lesson Learned in Mobile Marketing
—This post was originally removed as we worked on some things with an advertiser. It is now being re-posted for your learning pleasure. —
Over the past couple week I have had some opportunity to work closely with EliteClicksMedia.com. ECM provided me with a Pay-Per-Call offer that paid out $10 per phone call no matter the length. So… naturally I jumped on the opportunity to run traffic to the offer.
In the past I have marketed on mobile networks such as Admob, Inmobi, and Mojiva. I knew for a fact that Admob offered a "click-to-call" function for their mobile advertisers (so does Inmobi, don't know about Mojiva) so I chose to try out their traffic. Basically what happens is when someone clicks on your advertisement they are shown a message that states "Are you sure you want to call XXXXXXXXXX" Then the person clicks call or cancel. Now, the theory behind this is that if someone clicks the call button then they genuinely want to call your company. At least that was my thought on this process.
Here was the first banner creative
This was the first creative that was used. This was a text version of an Admob ad. Originally the ad just said "Free Debt Elimination Kit – Call Now!". However, we noticed a terrible CTR for the offer. Because we were sending traffic after business hours we assumed that people just weren't clicking. Most people know that if you call after business hours you will have to deal with an automated system instead of an actual phone operator. So to combat the issue we put on Call 24/7 to the ad to help ease people's minds. 21k impressions, 130 clicks, 6 confirmed calls, $48.xx spend, average $0.30 a click. Not the best… so we moved to a banner ad approach so we could add more info to the creative.
Here was the second/final creative
This was an actual image instead of using the Admob default background and custom text. Image ads on mobile networks allow you to add more content to the actual creative. You can also see that we were pre-qualifying people by letting them know that if they click they will need to continue with a phone call to us. The creative also let the surfer know what they would be receiving for calling in. 1,316,753 impressions, 9,871 clicks, $1,353.50 spend (about $0.14 a click)… you ready for this?… 410 calls. That's $4,100. AWESOME RIGHT? Well… yes and no… The advertiser wasn't too thrilled about the quality of traffic… Don't worry… they're going to pay up… but…
Here is what I learned
Mid day we received a report of the traffic quality. Unfortunately it was quite low. And here's why…
Any good marketer knows that they should always track their stats with a third party company. For this project I chose to go with Dynamicic.com (a phone number tracking service). Dynamicic also offers the option to record the phone call so that you can hear what exactly is going on. Out of my own curiousness for how the calls went I made sure to turn on the recording function from the beginning. After we received the report from the advertiser I went back and listened to about 50 phone calls. While some of them were indeed real people the majority were remnant noises of little kids… WHAT? Yeah… little tykes making their little googoo gaga sounds.
So… While I did make a HUGE return for the investment, the quality of the actual phone call was utter $#!^ to say the least. This venture in mobile marketing taught me that 85%+ clicks on the advertisement come from kids that are playing with their parents phone. Now… Normally this wouldn't be an issue but when you have an advertiser that is paying you for a phone call of ANY length then this is a critical matter that needs to be resolved.
That traffic was ran on Friday. Right now the campaign is paused until I can get a full report as to the quality of the leads. If it's extremely bad I'll just ask for a pay decrease and hope that I can keep pushing traffic. Even at a couple dollars a lead I'll still be making oodles of dinero from this campaign.
Here's some screen shots for you

T3Leads updated their look and platform.
About 2 years ago I gave a review of T3Leads.com. You can see it here: Check out this Financial PPL site!
So… T3Leads has asked me to give them another review… So here I am… Just so we're clean, I did get paid for this review.
What's changed?
For starters, the T3Leads website has a brand new look. Unfortunately, the website now looks like a low end gentlemen's club… Black and Gold. But that's okay because their member's area is a nice crisp white. T3 is currently on the 3rd generation of their backend tracking platform. Dirty on the outside, clean on the inside. A little deceptive if you ask me… but that's not the point of the network.
The real change has come from how T3Leads now supplies their payout to affiliate. Previously your leads were valued based on a bid method sort of like an "auction" for your data. Now T3 does a straight sale depending on the data that is given as well as the exact niche the lead is for.
Payouts range from $1.50 on the low end and go all the way up to $100 for a payday loan offer
Reporting for T3 hasn't changed much. Just the look really. They've upgraded to better looking graphs and a cleaner navigation through the reports. You can also see a report for leads that errored on conversion. And of course there are the standard filters for on date ranges, product, channel type, etc. I happen to like the fact that I can see my stats for Today, Yesterday, last Week, previous Week, Last month, and Current Balance all in the header from any page in their system. This saves me time when I just want a quick look at how my conversions went.
Ahh I can also see when my next check is going to be sent from any page. This helps me with budgeting out my campaigns. And as always, T3leads pays out twice a month with a minimum payment of $100. Of course if you generate more than $1000 in a week, you can always receive faster payment terms.
What makes them different from the rest?
Easy answer really. Because T3 is not your average affiliate network, they provide you with two… umm… creative options. The first is called a "Public Website" this is their generic webpage that everyone has access to. This allows you to promote to something that already has branding. Your Affilite ID is carried through the URL and you will be credited accordingly for your lead.
The second method of promotion that they offer is called a "Private Website". This is by far the coolest function of T3Leads because they are essentially allowing you to white label their form onto your website. That means that you have 100% control over the look and feel of the landing page. You can create a whole site based around funneling people into the form or you can do a one page lander to get people to sign up. The integration is super easy and their customization functions to get the form to blend in with your site is absolutely a life saver.
Just a little more information
T3Leads.com has gone a long way to set themselves up as a special niche specific network. By focusing on financial leads they can gather the best financial advertisers and hook them up with the best financial affiliate.
If your an affiliate in the financial services space then I highly suggest T3Leads.com. I've been using them for the last couple of years and I am definitely satisfied with what they have to offer.

Affiliate Summit East 2010 = Epic + Connections
Well… It came and it went. Affiliate Summit 10′ was definitely one for the record books. I don't think I've made so many connections in my life.
Let me give you a brief play by play of what when on. I sat down to give you a play by play of what went on… But to be honest with you… I don't remember too much about the order of events. I just remember what we did…
Saturday 14th
Arrived in NY around 2:30. I was exhausted so I caught a cab to the hotel and crashed for a couple of hours.
Benny Tejeda was staying in the hotel with me so I called him up to let him know I was in the room. He was mid transit to the hotel.
Benny ended up meeting up with me at Rue 57 with Brian (Winley) and his business partner AJ. Brian I've known since December and has really taken off in his affiliate marketing.
At some point I met up with my buddies Ian Fernando and AdHustler. We ended up heading on over to "Faces and Names". Somewhere along our little 2 block march we ran into some kid that… well… seemed to want to argue the whole night…Anyways, at some point, NickyCakes met up with us at "Faces and Names" and well… We took a picture for my mom.
Yeah… That's for you mom… For some reason… My mom has an obsession with Nicky. So when I saw him I had to get a picture with him… And boy does she love it. Here's her comments left on the pic in Nicky's Facebook account (Yes… They are FB friends…)
AdHustler hit that one on the head "This is getting weird".
After we left "Faces and Names" we meet up with Jason Rubacky and did a little more… Hanging out :)
Sunday 15th
Benny and I headed to breakfast/lunch around 11:30. The restaurant in the hotel has some decent food… But for a $20 meal I would rather eat street meat (Food vendors on the corners of Manhattan streets).
After breakfast we headed over to the "Meet Market". If you aren't familiar with the Affiliate Summit, the meet market is the perfect opportunity to walk around, see who will be exhibiting, and to make brief connections with people that you plan on meeting with during the week. During the meet market I bumped into several affiliate that I have known online for months online, but never had the opportunity to meet them in person.
Lunch came courtesy of Eric at ClickBooth! Thank you Eric :) There we talked about none other than… Well… I don't remember… It was sports at one point…
The meetup202 group in NY had a get together. Lot's of good contacts there. John Hasson, his wife, and I talked about Mormons, milk, sprite with lime, and missions to South America.
After the Meetup202 event it was time to eat so Ian, Brandon and I headed over to Capital Grille for Ian Fernando's famous "Affiliate Dinner". Other notable names include Morgan Thomas aka HeavyT (creator of 2 girls 1 cup!), Ryan Gray (Super Affiliate Twins), Brian (DailyConversions.com), Mike Chiasson, Wes Mahler (Creator Tracking202), Brandon Hoffman (AdHustler), Bryn Youngblunt, Ian Fernando (of course… it's his dinner), Matt Wasserman, and the crew of Kitara Media (Sponsors for the dinner).
Dinner was good. Probably the best I've had in all of my Affiliate Summits.
After dinner we hit up a rooftop party… Don't remember who sponsored it. But met up with some really good people.
The night was still young… This was NY of course. So… We headed out to where the Elite Clicks Media crew was… Their hotel :) There we hung out, talked marketing, and well… had an overall good time. I got to hang out with some good friends that I've known for a long time and I even got to meet some new people. NJ, Steve Howe, Thy, Justin, Greg and Kim Davis, Tyler, Ryan Machara, Raphaela Bazalgette, Luke Samples, Ricco, Jon Fisher, Nicky Papers and well… too many to name. At some point in the evening the hotel security came up and kicked us out… So we went to none other than… "Faces and Names".
Do you see that guy in that last pick on the far left? He's some random french dude. No one could figure out who he was and how he got there.
Anyways, I could be missing some details in there… but you get the jist of what happened.
Monday 16th
FOOD… When you go to these events and you stay up till 4:30 in the morning you tend to sleep for a LONG time. Man was I starving by the time I woke up. Luckily for me so was the Elite Clicks Media team and Ian Fernando. We… it was time to head over to Old Castle and grab some food.
Our service was terrible. The poor waiter knew it too. It was so bad we had to call the front desk to send reinforcements. But in the end we ate, talked, and left full.
When we got done eating I had a couple of meetings with AMs. I walked around the show for a little bit to catch other people I knew. Stopped for about 30 minutes and talked with my good friend Ruck (Owner Convert2Media). It was nice catching up with him after these last few months. I also met up with Ryan Eagle (Owner EWA Private Network) for a few minutes and had a chat at some point (might have been during the meet market).
Later that day I was conducting a round table on PPV advertising. It went pretty well. People were crowding all around just to hear a couple things about PPV advertising. It was a lot of fun though. There were networks, affiliates, and merchants all sitting in to listen to some PPV tricks of the trade. The only problem I had was that I was still tired… and my voice was almost gone. I was going to record it but my flip mino was dead when I got down to the round table.
After the round table I went to grab some food. Wish I could remember where. Probably street meat. Headed over to Morgan's affiliate get together. Then the NeverBlueAds party (weak…), then took a cab across Manhattan to the ClickBooth party. Met up with Brian (Winley) and well… Had a good time. Street meat, parties, all the fun stuff.
Tuesday 17th
Woke up hungry again… Called around to see what everyone was doing. Finally got a hold of Brian (Winley) and his partner AJ. We headed over to Old Castle to grab a bit to eat and talk business. We had some really good conversations. I was explaining to Brian and AJ the best way that I have found to deliver email without using a third party autoresponder. It was a very good productive conversation.
After lunch, I headed back to the conference, hung out in the press room to get some work done (way behind) and then… headed home
Overall… ASE 10′ was a huge success. I made plenty of new connections to help my business grow and I cultivated connections that I have made in the past. These event's aren't necessarily just a place to learn… These events are essential to your networking in this business. It's not about what you know. It's all about who you know. AND… Who you can leverage or who can leverage you.
