November 7, 2009 - Written by Gyutae Park
This is a guest post by Donny Gamble. who writes a blog about creating wealth by combining Internet marketing with network marketing. On it, Donny explains why Internet marketers should have an MLM business.
Article marketing is a very effective way of bringing in sales and many affiliate marketers are already taking advantage of the method. Article marketers submit their articles and reviews to the following places:
1. Article directories
2. Blogs – their own and other related ones
Both are good options, but since this is more or less a blog about blogging, I’d like to give some tips to those of you writing articles on your blog.

Teaching Sells – Why You Need to Ditch Free Content Blogs For Paid Membership Sites
August 27, 2009 - Written by Gyutae Park
If you’ve been following me for some time now, you know that I’m a big fan of membership sites and continuity programs as an online business model. Not only do they offer lucrative income streams, but they’re relatively easy to set up and get started. All you really need is passion for a topic, expert knowledge (either you or a partner), and some technical and marketing know-how. It’s not easy to make money of course (despite what the “gurus” like to say), but the profit potential is huge once things click into place.

I’ll update it regularly so you get the latest scoop on the best plugins I’m using.

I know I know, it’s just one subscriber out of many, and they could be leaving for any number of reasons. I shouldn’t take it personally, right? After all, trying to please everyone on a site is a never-ending cycle – like a dog chasing its own tail.

However, my recent busy schedule did get me thinking about optimal posting frequencies on blogs.

Exclusive Interview with the Missing 41st Blog Blazer – Finally Revealed
February 4, 2009 - Written by Gyutae Park
A couple months ago, Stephane Grenier sent me a book that he put together called Blog Blazers. In it, Stephane interviews 40 top bloggers who “share their secrets to creating a high-profile, high-traffic, high-profit blog.” Some of the most prominent bloggers featured include Aaron Wall, Seth Godin, Yaro Starak, Neil Patel, and J.D. Roth among others.
It’s actually a pretty good book on blogging. If you need some inspiration, I recommend you pick it up for a quick read. However, there is actually one gaping hole in the book. I’m not in it.
