I have spent time building up my twitter account and producing and releasing several tools such as my e-book template set and my Twitter giveaway software. However, I am not enjoying my journey as of late. After some serious soul searching, I am beginnin the process of complete online reboot.

My goal in starting this site was to use it as my primary online brand. However, it has not really lent itself to that task as well as I was hoping. As such, I will be converting this site to my online holding company if you will. This will be the corporate site for my online ventures but will no longer be my primary online brand.

Since I will be making significant changes to my online brand, I am going to start with a massive twitter reboot. So if I stop following you, it is simply because I am starting over online, not that I no longer find your information useful. In reality, many of you will see me un-follow and then re-follow over the next few days.

So stay tuned.

I will be revamping this site in the next few weeks to make it more “Twitter” centric. This will include integration of my tweet stream into my main blog as well as some other changes.

I will also in the next few weeks substantially change the offerings from this site.

Stay tuned … You will enjoy the changes, I guarantee.

After reading the article, I came away wondering just how good a job had I done in following “quality” Twitter users. In many ways this is a personal value judgment, but if you really want to make sure that you are managing your social network you need to set some ground rules for yourself.

So here is the the critiera that I used in my own personal evaluation:

• Does this appear to be a real person or is it an automaton?
• Does this user appear to have similar interests to myself?
• Does this user seem to actually contribute to the dialog?
• Does the user seem to only want to sell me something?
• If I was not following this person on Twitter would I follow their RSS feed?

Well after setting that criteria, I did some digging into the users that I follow. It seems that I have not always had the same standards. However, it appears that it is nowhere as bad as I thought it could be.

So have you spent the time lately to go through your twitter account and audit the users that you follow? You might want to take the time today and do a little trimming.

All I have to say to that is … not if you are an Internet marketer.

In truth, the current economic crisis should be a boom to your marketing business. It is when people are desperate for a solution to a problem that they become your best customer if you have a solution to their problem.

The trick to make the current crisis work for you is to make sure that figure out what is the desperation drivers for your niche. If you know what those motivators are, then you will know how to frame your marketing efforts.

So what are people currently afraid of?

• Losing their job
• Find a new job if they are out of work
• Losing their house
• Losing value in their house
• Being able to get car loans
• Being able to get student loans
• Being able to refinance their mortgage
• Being able to put food on the table

Since the current psychological mindset is one of fear, you need to make sure you are giving them solutions to their fears. Look for items to sell/promote that give the user solutions to these fears, and you will do very well in the current crisis.

Other than that I think the whole process of writing for Squidoo has been an interesting diversion from the usual PLR writing. Squidoo is a pretty interesting platform and I think that I will produce more lenses in the future. Now if only I could get an offer on my current lens :)

If you thought my last PLR Article Swipe File release was a great, then you are going to love this release. It has over 1900 PLR articles that were not in the first release.

These are all PLR articles that I have collected over the past year and include full private label rights. That means that you can do what ever you want with these articles. Use them for updating your blog, rewrite them into your own PLR articles, do absolutely anything that you want to with these articles.

Like my last release, I am only going to sell 50 copies of this amazing set of articles. The last set sold out in around 30 hours. I expect this one to go even faster.

Flipping a lens is basically producing some new content on a topic and then publish a page on Squidoo. Once the page is produced, you sell it to someone else. Squidoo is pretty cool in that they welcome monetization of your lenses. In fact they include several modules that let you profit from Amazon and eBay and they will pay you a cut of the revenue. So this makes Squidoo attractive for people that are looking to generate passive income.

So today I decided to try my hand and producing a lens to flip.

First I needed to pick a topic. I settled on something job related since the current economy is in the tank and there are lots of people job hunting. So after looking around Google’s Keyword Tool I settled on targeting job interview questions.

Well after lots of fussing and messing around inside of Squidoo (first time using it), I managed to produce my first lens … How To Get the Job: Acing the Interview Questions. In the process, I managed to get plenty of “job interview questions” sprinkled in the content and worked in some contextually relevant Clickbank hoplinks and an Amazon book to be safe.

Ok now that the easy part is done comes the harder part … Getting someone to buy it from me. For without the sale, it is not a flip.

So is there anyone out there that is willing to give me say $50 for the lens (oh by the way $100 seems to be about the going rate for one of these things, but since it is my first it could use some more polishing)

If you are interested, please drop me a comment below or tweet me. I will keep everyone in the loop on what happens on the sale side.

Update: Well I have produced a lens, worked on getting some traffic to it, still can’t seem to find any takers. So far the flip has been a big bust. Have you had similar experiences on your flips? Let me know. I would love to hear from you.

A good swipe file is  one of the must have tools for any article marketer. So because it is Sunday afternoon here in Jacksonville, I have decided to share my article swipe file with the next 50 users that want a jump start in creating their own article swipe file.

Inside you will find over 1400 PLR articles that I have collect over the past couple of years on a whole variety of subjects:

• Acne
• Asthma
• Blogging
• Credit Repair
• Online Dating
• Weight Loss and Weight Control
• and many, many more

Please note that these articles are NOT written by me, but other authors and vendors. All articles have full private label rights on them or they would not be in my swipe file so do with them what you want. As with all PLR articles, you need to make sure that you rewrite them to make them your own and avoid duplicate content penalties.

Hurry there are only 50 19 0 copies left

Update: I have extended this sale until 6pm EST on Jan. 26th

Please let me have your wishlist. If I create a plugin from your suggestion you will obviously get a copy for your own use and lots of credit :)

So let me know what you would like to see.

My site now boasts a custom WordPress theme that I have been working on in my spare time. It is not perfect yet, but I thought it would be a good time to go ahead and get it pushed out the door. So if you see some oddities or compatibility problems, please let me know.

Also of note, you may have noticed that my tag line has changed. Since I am going to switch my focus to tools and software for marketers, I thought it only fitting that the tag line reflect that.
