80/20 Principle — How do you spend YOUR time?
Have you ever really thought about how you spend your time during the day? I do…just about every day. In fact, it’s been bugging me recently.
I’ve been wondering why I am so darn busy every day, yet not seeming to get as much done as I’d like to, and as much as I used to. I’m wondering if you’re feeling the same way.
Sometimes, the answers to the big questions of life are tough. This one turned out to be easy, though.
At the recommendation (actually, constant prodding) by friend and mentor Read the rest of this entry »

John Chow $40,000 Blogging Video and Cheat Sheet
I stubled across a tweet by Jason Moffatt this past weekend, where he wrote about a video he saw by John Chow, about how John makes $40,000 a month from his blog.
Let’s do a little math.
That’s $40,000 a month, times 12 months in a year. That comes to just under a Half Million dollars a year.
Going the other way, that’s about $1,333 a day.
Now, if John was working an eight-hour day, I’d say that was a pretty darn good living he was making: about $166/hour. It turns out, though, that John doesn’t work 8 hours a day.
He actually set out with a goal of earning just $3,000 a month by working 2 hours a day.
And it turns out that he STILL works just 2 hours a day. So that’s about $666 per hour.
Thanks, John for making the video and sharing what you know. And thanks to Jason for turning me on to John.
Here’s the nearly hour-long video, in its entirety, for you to watch. Below the video is my Cheat Sheet set of notes that I took while watching the video. Read the rest of this entry »
"HI MARK. Thanks for all the HARD WORK you put into help me with my Internet Marketing. I'd like to buy you a cup of Coffee!"Socrates Theme
If you’re a regular reader of my blog, then you probably notice that the look of TrafficAndConversion.com has changed. And what you’ll also probably notice is that it will change a few more times soon, too.
That’s because I’ve just installed the Socrates Theme, created by my friend Joel Comm, with help from his Director of Ideas, Dan Nickerson.
I won’t write too much about the theme here, but I did write about Socrates before, back in April 2010 when Version 1 was released. They released Socrates version 2.0 a few months later.
But the reason I installed it today was that the Socrates Theme gives me almost unlimited flexibility in how I set up my blog. I can pick two or three columns with the click of a button, I can choose any of dozens of headers, an infinite number of colors, and several other layout options.
Plus, you can easily insert Read the rest of this entry »
Your Independence
To my American friends…
I just got back to my hotel room after watching Independence Day fireworks. We’re visiting my wife’s family in Chicago, and just like the rest of the thousands of people watching this show, we had a wonderful time watching the pyrotechnic display.
It was beautiful. (That’s one of the photos we took this evening.)
But I wonder how many of these thousands of people actually reflected on the true meaning of today’s celebration.
As each firework was launched from its mortar, we heard a loud boom. Moments later, we’d see a bright light, followed by another boom as the lighted artwork filled the sky.
What ran through my mind is that we’re sitting here, in the greatest country in the world, celebrating with these huge gunshots, but 234 years ago, the bombs were real, and men who had far more guts than I ever will fought vigorously to be free from oppression in all forms — oppression of speech, of assembly, of religion, of happiness, and of prosperity.
It’s because of those men, and the brave women who fought alongside and in support of them, that we Read the rest of this entry »
