There's big money to be made in publishing your own Ebooks. I ought to know. I published my first eBook last spring around this time and was amazed to watch thousands of dollars pop into my PayPal account in the blink of an eye.
I'm getting ready to release another ebook, so eBooks are on my mind.
I was pleased to find that fabulous web goddess Alexis Dawes (of Desperate Buyers Only fame) has been making new posts to her great blog about Internet marketing. And she made a great post the other day providing lots of free resources for eBook writers.

AOL is Cursed
AOL is seriously ailing - this company has made so many missteps that it's pretty bizarre. How could a company with so much cool stuff going on experience failure after failure?
Fast Company has an article about this in their April 2008 issue, and I just blogged about AOL and its many trials and tribulations at my main badger blog:
AOL is Cursed
Seriously, AOL needs an exorcism or something. Some major bad mojo is going on there.

Marketing Lesson 201: Don't Be Boring
In my newest post at my main badger blog I talk about a funny business card that Matt Cutts of Google found in an old book.
The business card listed some, um, unusual skills - and looking at it, I realized how wonderful and brilliant this card was.
We all need to find some way to stand out in our businesses, to be unique.
And sometimes a healthy dose of humor can go a long way!
So if you'd like to check out the Matt Cutts entry and also read my humorous rant on the importance of branding, check out the entry here:
You Don't Have to Organize Orgies But It Helps

Internet Marketing Quick Start Free Report
Look, forget everything you learned from that $99 eBook or $3000 web guru course.
Making money online does NOT require an advanced degree in polymer science.
You can be up and running with a free blog or an ebay sale, for instance, and be making money online TODAY.
And those are just two of hundreds of way to start generating multiple streams of online income - fast!
I know it can be overwhelming sorting through the vast array of information (much of it misinformation) out there about how to become successful in Internet marketing.
But it all comes down to picking up a few skills here and there, just enough to get going with one project, launching your sales campaign or blog or website, tracking sales, and making money TODAY.
Don't try to learn everything now. Just learn enough to get going.
You'll pick up more skills over time. And then you can write about what you learned and sell that as an Ebook or report, and then you'll learn more from that process, and before you know it you'll be more of an expert than half the people out there.
One of my favorite publishers about info on how to make money online is Sara Brown of Laycock Publishing. She teaches you a nuts and bolts approach to doing everything from starting your list to using viral reports to make money to launching your first eBook. And it's all presented in a clear, often funny, tone that is really motivating and inspiring.
Sara has recently made a new free report available and I've reserved a free copy for you at my website.
Check it out now if you want to be inspired instead of intimidated about making money online:

Godaddy Problems - The Saga Continues
Controversy is raging around the Net this week as Wired magazine announced an upcoming article about Godaddy apparently pulling the plug on yet another site without notice or recourse to the domain owner.
I've blogged about this trend before and it is one of many serious Godaddy problems - they tend to be very JUMPY and pull some sites even if a merely frivolous complaint has been lodged against a domain. This isn't fair to domain owners who could simply be the victims of spammer or competitors trying to shut them down.
I've blogged about GoDaddy problems before, which include dropping emails (emails are nowhere to be found, either at the sender or receiver end) clunky control panel, lack of Wordpress support, and numerous other issues.
You can read more about this latest Godaddy problem here:

Free Templates
I highly recommend using free templates when you're putting together a new website or blog. It's easier to adapt an existing template then creating your own, especially if you don't feel very confident about html or css.
I recently wrote about one free template resource site - I think it's the web's best kept secret. You'll find out all about it in my new article:
Free Templates
Some of these free templates do need some tweaking. For instance, you might want to change the headers to reflect the headline for your blog or website. Or you might want to change the color scheme. But that's easily done by changing a few things in your css stylesheet.
So don't be afraid to use free templates if you're stumped putting together your next website or blog!
