Making Money with Your Drupal Website

podcast@getlevelten.com (LevelTen Interactive) — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 21:36:57 +0000

Let's be honest for a minute. As much as the Internet marketing industry talks about building community and participating in the conversation, most of us are in the game for one reason, and one reason only. We want to make money.

There are the select few who don't care about making money, and are truly happy with trying to change the world. But for 90% of us, that just isn't the case.

When do you usually make your sales calls? Is it first thing in the morning, around 9am? Or maybe you subscribe to the theory that the best time to make a sales call is around lunch time.

Contrary to popular belief, I say the best day of the week is Monday. Not Friday, not Thursday, and certainly not Saturday... Monday. Why is it my favorite day, you might ask? Because on Mondays, I get to review and edit our fantastic weekly podcasts. Sure, I usually know the topics ahead of time, and most days, I even participate in the podcasts, but in a world where yesterday's news may as well be last year's news, a refresher is always good.
