Family is Everything

I think it’s unavoidable that individualism is overrated. Don’t get me wrong — I used to be an absolutely radical individualist. I considered myself a self-made man. I thought every belief I had was something I individually considered and figured out on my own. But, simply put, this is false. My mother and father taught me [...] No related posts.

Great Marketing is Vital to Success, Period.

Some organizations rely on voluntary support. This is completely fine, because some organizations are just based on an appeal to our sense of goodwill. If they think that relying on donations rather than commerce is the best way to achieve their goals, then they should certainly use that approach. But this doesn’t mean that in-your-face requests [...] Related posts:

Why Most Internet Marketers Fail. Big time.

Shaun Connell — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 05:15:16 +0000

Most affiliate programs suck. Few visitors care about them, few visitors end up buying them, the payout is low, and it’s usually just a one-time pay out. If this sounds like your program, think about starting over. Your success depends on your program: if it fails, you’ll fail. If it’s hopeless, the best thing you [...] Related posts:

The Make Money Online Article

Shaun Connell — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 19:17:20 +0000

Entire books have been written explaining various ways to make money online. Yet several years ago when I first began my online business journey, I simply couldn’t find one article which explained the entire process. Instead, I spent my time reading a bit on domains, a bit on hosting, a bit on marketing, a bit [...] Related posts:

So who invented the iPod?

Shaun Connell — Sun, 01 Jun 2008 02:38:06 +0000

I finally did it. I created a website with the goal of taking out a long-tail keyword search. What on earth am I talking about? Great question. Every day, a bunch of people around the world go to Google and type in, “Who invented the ipod“, and then look for the answer. I’m not sure why [...] No related posts.

The Make Money Online Community

Shaun Connell — Sat, 31 May 2008 18:39:37 +0000

I’m going to step out of my comfort zone and make a kind of sappy post. I read most of the popular “MMO” blogs, like Copyblogger, Problogger, Courtney’s Internet Marketing School, along with the inevitable blog of Seth Godin. There are dozens of others that I’m subscribed to. I’ve always loved reading the comments on these [...] Related posts:

Definition For Marketing

In the past year or so, I’ve completely fell in love with marketing. I love reading Seth Godin’s blog, as well as a lot of other journals on marketing, especially those with an internet marketing twist. Copyblogger is amazing. What’s interesting is seeing how each of the “gurus” really see marketing. Definitions are everything, and [...] Related posts:

Stop Ignoring the Smart People

Shaun Connell — Thu, 29 May 2008 15:42:28 +0000

The biggest business “sucker” is the person who buys because of emotion. An emotional sales pitch leaves them with a lame PDF and an empty wallet. Unfortunately, there are tons of these people. Unfortunately, a lot of greedy “marketers” have noticed this. They target the sucker, so they can suck money from the poor little [...] Related posts:

Never Really Liked People

Shaun Connell — Wed, 28 May 2008 21:46:24 +0000

“You’re such a failure”, the fat, ugly woman hissed, gorging herself with another donut she’d just purchased at the counter. She liked her car outside, because she was not a failure. Her car was a great car. She really liked her great car. The bank liked her car too, and they loved that she paid [...] Related posts:

Proud Old Man

Shaun Connell — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 03:19:28 +0000

I once knew an old man who liked to go on walks alone. I never really got that, people have always been my thing. Whenever I would drive by him, I’d slow down to wave, just to see him stop and stand up all proud and straight and look back at me. I never really [...] No related posts.
