I'm taking a break from blogging. It occured to me sometime last week, that I simply don't have that much to say. Sometimes silence is a virtue, and i'm thinking this may be one of those times. I am however, actively writing and working on my business at a frenzied, frantic pace - some days putting in close to 18 hours of non stop article campagns, landing pages, copywriting, PPC, and lots more across a whole host of niche blog networks that will be my focus going forward.

Since posting a lot of the article marketing experiments last month, I've gotten a whole lot of questions about the intelligence you can glean from utilizing articles in your overall site building mindset...simply as a baseline metric to figure out what works well, and what does not.

How to Sell More on Craigslist: Part 1
In this article we are going to take a look at selling more STUFF on Craigslist, and regardless of the kind of stuff you sell, I'm pretty confident that some of the ideas in this upcoming series of advanced marketing strategies will help you sell more. Let me make a quick qualification: None of these ideas are really "advanced" per se, but rather, I'm hoping, will help you re-frame your approach a bit as you structure your sales process to optimize both the amount of your ads that make it (and STAY) live, as well as maximize the real dollars you are able to squeeze out of each and every post you make.

A final death knell to the once big buck game of "playing the spread" on ad buys across the PPC channels. Was a popular and very easy way to make money a few years ago, although for the past year or so felt like heavy lifting and no longer very worthwhile ( although I'm sure people have still done phenomenally well).
