I absolutely LOVE this picture.  It really, fundamentally doesn't get a whole hell of alot better than this.  I think this was taken in Spain - so you'll forgive my French - but nothing quite sums up the transcendental art of the modern anarchist quite like the peaceful serenity that comes with not giving a flying fuck.  No pun intended..:-)  Happiness is most surely about carving out your own path - following your heart and not giving a care what silly rules you break along the way.  I'm going to find a members only club tommorow and make myself at home….Or a no tresspassing alcove to eat my turkey sub for lunch…Just to remember this feeling. Nah…I probably won't.  But this little guy would. 

Thanks to http://retiredat21.com for the great pic!

Lots more questions…….And a lot less time to answer them.  Here is a quick question from James - and a long, hopefully not too rambling response that I think covers SOME of thinking I try to incorporate into my CL campaigns, and broader strategy in my own business…I re-read some of this a few minutes ago and I think I even confused myself, so if it doesn't make sense to you, be sure to let me know.  But hey - it is the other side of 2 AM once again, and I'm getting less sleep than Amy Winehouse these days, so…Part two to follow!

Hi Ian! Thanks for the great Craigslist tips! I've tried to promote a lot of different things though and still can't make money. I'm not sure but I think my ip is being blocked. I'm not a good copywriter and was hoping you could show some examples of some of your ads if you don't mind. Is affiliate sales the only thing you sell on Craigslist? If I can't make any conversions there, is there another way? What did you start when you were a newb? Thank you. James. [click to continue…]

I had a great response on last weeks post on oio publisher - ( the ad management platform plugin I use on this site and several others) as it is really a turn key, simple solution for taking a complete online newbie and giving him or her the tools neccessary to immediately plug in ( no pun intended..:-) to not only a great piece of software that allows ANYONE to immediately purchase and place an advert on your site 24 X 7 ( provided the spots aren't filled ), but also into a growing and maturing marketplace of advertisers (theoretically) eager to drop some bucks  on your blog.   And a lot more too….And I'm hoping that some of you took my advice and signed up for it last week because according to the email I got from the developer a few minutes ago….He's has upgraded the software to V 1.4 and is now charging a one time fee (37) to use it.  Anyone who already is a member ( like MOI) doesn't have to pay a cent - so I'm hoping that is you, too.

 Karmic Coaching is coming back..:-) ( And no - for the odd stray Google search on "karma" I'm getting - please don't send another email about Tarot Cards, - I told you twice - Uranus is in deep trouble ) For the rest of you who are here to make more money - stay tuned for details - this is not the free variety and not for everyone - but for those of you who really want to take your marketing to the next level - or, if you just starting out and simply want to leap frog the learning curve, I'm going to work my rear end off to see that you do.
