New Counter

Eidoan — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 20:05:15 +0000

The new counter in the upper right corner of this site is counting down to December 31, 2010 at 4:35 PM CST, which is when I will turn 28 years old…

Why is this important?

After I graduated college in December of 2005, I set the goal for myself of having a personal net worth of over $1 million by the time I turn 28.

That was just over 5 years away at the time and I now have 996 days left (~2.73 years).

I have made great progress since I started, but I still need to earn a lot more money to reach that point. Especially if I keep spending $500+ per month on alcohol and cigars. :)

Also, take a look at Article 11 of…

Treaty of Peace and Friendship between the United States of America and the Bey and Subjects of Tripoli of Barbary, 1796.

Salvatore Bonanno 1932 - 2008

Eidoan — Sat, 05 Jan 2008 19:07:51 +0000

I just found out a few minutes ago that Salvatore “Bill” Bonanno died on January 1st. Bill was the son of Giuseppe “Joseph” Bonanno, who was one of the heads of the original Five Families of the “Mafia” Commission of New York. Joe and Bill were the real life Vito and Michael Corleone. Many of the most important parts of the novel and movie The Godfather were actually inspired by the actions of the real life Bonanno Family.

Bill’s visitation will be tomorrow and his funeral will be on Monday. Then he will be interned near his father in Holy Hope Cemetery in Tucson, AZ.

I’m going to have to drink some Strega and smoke a good cigar tonight in honor of Salvatore Bonanno.

Update…

Eidoan — Wed, 26 Dec 2007 07:53:23 +0000

I am planning on making another attempt at updating this more often. I would like to a couple times per week. I certainly have enough I would like to write about … just don’t seem to have the time.

I am planning on writing a full 2007 review in a few days, because it has been a great year. Years and years of hard work have really started to pay off.

One year ago today from the exact same place I am sitting right now, I posted my ideas for what I wanted Hill Seven to be. I have learned a lot since then though and the concept has changed quite a bit, mainly from my success with StockWeblog.com.

So GolfGameNews.com will be my big test. If I can teach everything I have learned to Grant and he can create a successful site with my techniques, then by this time next year I might have as many as a dozen people running different niche sites and making good money for themselves.

Halloween Party

Went to an awesome Halloween party this weekend…

Tom. Mark. Matt. Kevin… All well-known names in the Web 2.0 world, but now there is a new one who has an interesting story: Ashley (or “ashbo” as she’s known on MySpace).

In what would be the dream of any serious internet marketer, this 17 year old has, pretty much accidentally, produced a website over the last few years that now generates over $70,000 per month at WhateverLife.com by providing MySpace layouts and other designs. Having her designs on other people’s profiles along with strong word of mouth adverting eventually created a flood of traffic — classic viral marketing tactics.

But it’s obvious she’s not in it for the money. She’s turned down offers of over $1 million to buy the site so she wants to see how far she can take the project herself. Very respectable.

New Internet Marketing Site

Eidoan — Tue, 18 Sep 2007 14:01:58 +0000

Again, thanks to John Chow, I came across an interesting new site last night. The site is DealDotCom.com and apparently today is its first official day open for business. The site provides a different deal each day on some kind of internet business product and seems to have a very good affiliate program.

For people that have an internet business product, apparently you can have your product reviewed for possible listing on the site.

If you’re into affiliate marketing, you automatically become an affiliate by registering and you get 35% of all sales the site makes to people you referred, plus 15% of all sales to 2nd tier affiliates.

I think it looks very interesting and am looking forward to seeing how it does.
