I normally would have shrugged it off like I do most emails I get daily about random stuff, but Andrew mentioned in the email they were sharing this with me because of how great my relationship is with Mike Cataldo, who is the Director of Affiliate Relations for Tatto Media so that spiked my interest and got me to take a look. Am I ever glad I did!

Basically, HasOffers allows anyone to setup their own network in a matter of minutes, for free, which is just incredible.

Now, it can get pretty pricy if you are running your own linktrust or directtrack network and are not doing substantial volume to justify it. Hasoffers offers the same services and quality (if not better) they do but it’s FREE! (for up to 250,000 Clicks per Month), if you require more it’s pretty cheap starting at $99/month for up to 500k clicks and if you are really killing it up to $799/month for unlimited clicks. This is a pretty dam good deal if you have a purpose for your own network.

Personally I have played around with the HasOffers system a lot on my own account and I plan on using it for some campaigns very soon.

You may be thinking, why do I need my own network if I can just run my offers through other already existing networks and let them do all the work? Well you could…or you could run your own private network for just yourself and make more money.

Let’s say you’re running a particular biz opp campaign and a network is paying you $37 a lead. If you went direct to the advertiser you may be able to get paid anywhere from $40-$45 or more by running it through your own network. You’re basically eliminating the middleman of a network.

Now, there are disadvantages to this route. The main ones being payment terms and safety. Most people use networks and take less pay because they can get paid on a weekly basis and are usually safe if the advertiser decides not to or can’t pay.

So, you have to weigh your options and decide if you want less risk and less reward or more risk and more reward, different people, different levels of risk.

Of course the main purpose of HasOffers is so you can run your own network and have other affiliates run offers through it and you generate whatever margins you decide on.

All in all I think HasOffers is an incredible service with how simple it is to setup and use.  If you haven’t yet you should definitely check it out.

I have found myself often too comfortable when I have reached goals I wanted to achieve, and thus gotten lazy. It’s really only once something drastic happens like losing a major client that you stop and realise how important it is to never be comfortable and always be pushing forward.

I haven’t had too many problems with business as it has been going great for a long time now but I often find myself losing focus which ultimately effects productivity.

Some things I do now to keep my focus is to go outside and walk around for a bit, do some cleaning, go out for lunch, etc. This may seem silly but I can say from personal experience that working LESS will INCREASE productivity. If I am on the computer working straight for 16 hours I will be drained and very inefficient.

Keep your focus and you will keep your productivity.

When I recently purchased my new computer setup I was recommended to get the Logitech MX 5500 Revolution Cordless Desktop setup.

I have many wireless and non wireless keyboard/mouse setups and this one is BY FAR the best one I have ever used.

From the moment I started using it I was amazed at how quiet, comfortable and perfect everything was. I sound like such a nerd right now but for real if you spend a lot of time working online you NEED this setup.

You can thank me later.

The title of the book itself; “All Marketers Are Liars” is really a lie in itself. Marketers aren’t liars. They are just storytellers.  It’s the consumers who are liars. As consumers, we lie to ourselves every day. We lie to ourselves about what we wear, where we live, how we vote and what we do at work. (excerpt from the back of the book)

I think the main thing I love about Seth’s books are that when he explains things he usually tells a short story or example of a real life company or person to help you visualize what he is explaining.

I first read about this book at my friend Shoemoneys blog, if you want to buy it I would highly recommend it. Here’s an amazon link to purchase it, I am using Shoemoneys amazon link so he gets credit for any purchases since he was the one who inspired me to first purchase it.

P.S. A bunch of people have signed up for Tatto for this contest but I have barely seen anyone do much for generating revenue, remember whoever generates the most wins, even if it’s a couple bucks!
