Podcasts are a great way to “repackage” your content for maximum results!

Friday, September 15th, 2006

Well”… I’ve finally made the jump and begun recording my own Podcasts.
You can see the results here:

Friday, September 15th, 2006

Jim Edwards recently posted one of his famous “Friday Night SmackDown” videos on his “I Gotta Tell You” multimedia blog.

Well, from time to time (to keep my inbox borderline manageable) I go through and unsubscribe from any lists that are not sending […]

Nearly all “online marketing gurus” promote the benefits of conducting split tests and multi-variable tests on your website. But, few (if any) tell you […]
