Dot Com Pho – Apple Made THIS? Edition
It’s no secret that our Dot Com Pho members are pretty Apple bias. However, it takes an extreme fan boy to forgive Apple for one of this week’s gadget of the week. You see, the gadget is so bad that we are completely shocked that Apple would dare put their logo on it. You will understand why once we compare it to the other gadget of the week.
In addition to slamming Apple for trying to sell a piece of junk product, this edition of Dot Com Pho also features two iPad apps of the week and some mystery meat. Anyone is welcome to join us for Dot Com Pho. Follow me on Twitter to find the time and location and the next one.

The Difficult Part About The Secret a.k.a “The Law of Attraction”
“All that we are is the result of what we have thought.”
-Buddah
I live a very blessed life. I have abundance, I write about topics I’m passionate about, laugh often, and find the most amazing things in the smallest things in life. It seems like people that I need to connect with appear to me when the time is just right for them to appear and opportunities come at the perfect times. Life is moving along nicely.
As a matter of fact, one of the intentions I have set for myself at the start of 2010 was to do more traveling. So I’m actually planning a trip in the near future to Costa Rica where I will document my stay there via this blog, and also video.
I have found that applying the tools found in the book/movie The Secret has really changed my life in a positive way.
Is That Real?
When I first introduced this “secret” a several years back to some of my friends, I was met with some enthusiasm, but a lot of skepticism as well. Applying the tools such as creative visualization, thinking positive, and making vision boards just seems “to good to be true.” The mere thought of simply thinking about something you desire and making intentions for it to arrive and sitting back watching it physically come in tangible form, sounds like something good on the surface, but not something that is “realistic.”
Logic Vs. Intuition
When I use my logical left brain to truly make an effort to analyze the law of attraction, or the power of intention, I admit it I too find it very hard to believe. How can I just think of something that I want, and all of a sudden it will manifest into reality? Don’t I have to work really hard and face many challenges to get that thing I wanted? The challenges may come up at times, but after I’d say about 4 years of actively practicing how to work with the universe in a natural way, versus against it, I have found my own little space of creating positive outcomes for myself by going with the flow.
Once again, the concept as I understand as the Law of Attraction is something I probably am best just living out instead of trying hard to describe in words. After all, it isn’t something very logical, and if I step into the logic of it, I may just be doing myself and my readers a disservice because both logic and how law of attraction work don’t really go hand in hand.
Example 1
It’s very similar to trying to logically explain how intuition or how synchronistic events work. For example, have you ever been thinking about someone and all of a sudden that person give you a call on the phone, and you are surprised and with excitement tell that person “That’s a coincidence! I was just thinking about you!”
Can you logically explain how that process works? If you can, please leave me a comment below I’d love to read your feedback. But, for the majority of people trying to logically translate the reason that “coincidence” happened would prove to be very difficult right?
The same is true for applying the principles that the law of attraction can help you manifest in your life the things you want, versus the things you don’t want.
Example 2
Let me give you another example, have you ever jumped in the air in this (physical realm) and just stayed up in the air and began to float? Just decided to stay up there for a few minutes, and hang out?
No. The reason you can’t stay up in the air for a few minutes or however long you like is because, there is this law in the universe called gravity that exists. This law of gravity is always there. You throw a ball in the air, eventually it comes back to ground level. Any object that consist of matter will come back down to the ground level.
How many of you actually go into the books, and research logically why this happens? I am sure that if you really tried your very best, you can quantify this law in numbers, words, and the like.
So why can’t I logically describe the law of attraction? Which says that like energy attracts like energy, or what you think about your attract in into your life.
The reason I can’t logically describe it is because that’s not my life path or job here on earth. It’s like when I jump in the air, (I jump very high by the way) I know that I will come back down and land on my feet. It is something I just accept as the reality. I don’t feel the need to go to the books, and find the numbers, theories, or exact logic to define and explain to everyone I know why this happen, it just happens.
The difficult Part About it: Teaching It To Others. The difficult part for me at this stage in my manifestation, is teaching why and how the law of attraction works.
It’s not difficult for me to apply these principles with success, because I have trained my mind and my perceptions to just accept it as real. Therefore what I experience in life at this stage in my life is really amazing and spectacular. The more I apply the law of attraction principles, the more I learn about myself and to be honest the more better results I receive. It’s like a little game I test myself with. However, in my case, this is the game of life. So it’s a serious matter, but at the same time very fun and exciting. Life is an adventure anyway, so I decide to experience it that way.
Furthermore, the second difficult part about explaining I also think is because, once you start applying things like creative visualization, affirmations, you begin to see it more of a way of life, versus a “one time thing.” I have found that it allows you take more responsibility for your life, because in essence it is you creating your life.
Law of Attraction as a Way of Life
Seeing the law of attraction is a “one time thing” I think is where a lot of people get hung up on. They start to think that this whole idea is some “hocus pocus” stuff that they will try once and if what they intended for doesn’t come immediately, than according to them it most not work and they begin to slip back into their normal comfortable life where things made more “logical sense.” It’s interesting if you look at very successful people today, they are people who are persistent, and persevere through rejection or failure. How is this idea any different? It really is about alignment. You have to be in alignment with what your life’s purpose is. As you begin to come in alignment with your life’s purpose you will see that the law of attraction is something that is very natural and real in your life.
I have found that people that are out of alignment with their life’s purpose, or have no intention on searching for their life’s purpose, are also those same people that find the need to logically find the reasons why the Law of attraction doesn’t work. Unless of course, their life’s purpose is to be critical, but you get my point.
Have you been applying the Law of Attraction/ The Power of Intention in your life?

AdClick Media Offers Simple CPC Advertising
When I first took a look at AdClick Media, I just assumed it was another affiliate network. Those seem to be all the rage these days, but you don’t get paid unless your visitors actually perform an action or complete a sale.
For publishers of all sizes, sometimes a CPC-based advertising network is easier and more appropriate. And that’s precisely how AdClick Media operates. Over the course of this review, we’ll take a look at what this “second-tier” network has to offer and whether or not you should include it as part of your monetization mix.
Simplifying the PPC Process?
According to AdClick Media, its pay-per-click advertising program is designed to be as simple to understand as possible, while still offering affordability (for advertisers), profitability (for publishers), and customizability (for both parties).
The process is relatively easy to understand, because the online forms have been somewhat simplified compared to some other networks. It’s also quite notable that a single account is used for both the advertiser and publisher roles.
You just choose between the two when you log into the system and you can switch between the two on the fly by the easy-to-access link near the top-right of the main dashboard.
Building a New Ad Campaign
Starting from the advertiser side of the equation, you have the choice of creating three different types of ads: text ad, interstitial, and banner ads. For the purpose of this example, I created a text ad campaign.
The size of the ad is largely standardized. If you want to have an image (which is optional), it must be 60 pixels by 60 pixels. You also choose the ad headline, ad body, visible URL, and target URL, as well as the font color for each.
You can see the sample ad I created above for the book I co-wrote with John. Just as with AdSense, the visible domain doesn’t necessarily have to match the destination URL.
What About Publishers?
For an ad network that prides itself in simplicity, AdClick Media can still have a rather clunky interface. This isn’t a problem for the intermediate and advanced users, but it can still be a little daunting for some novices.
Even so, it’s quite clear when you can see the different ad possibilities and their respective statistics from the main publisher dashboard. You can also go about seeing your current revenue figures and creating new ad panels from this main screen.
Creating an “ad panel” is similar to many other ad placements you may find elsewhere. The difference is that each panel is tied to one specific domain and can only be used with that domain. Beyond that, you can choose up to three categories, the default ad details, color options, and ad panel size.
Much like Google AdSense and other CPC networks, you don’t actually get to see any of the advertisers from the publisher dashboard. It’s also not context-sensitive, as the ads are pulled based on the categories you select.
In this way, you have a little less control over the kinds of ads that are displayed on your site and there’s not much you can do to “optimize” the CPC rate you earn (aside from choosing the most lucrative categories). You can work to improve your click-thru rate though.
Payment Details and Referral Program
All advertisements served by AdClick Media give a 50% cut to the publisher, but you can earn additional money through the referral program as well. By doing so, you can earn 10% of each click that the referral’s ad panels are able to generate.
This payment policy also outlines the payment frequency. If you meet the minimum threshold of $50 by the first of the month, you will get paid by the 15th of that month. Strangely, it’s not clear the exact method of payment. I could not find a place to enter my PayPal credentials in my account page, though there is a place for a mailing address. A little more clarity here would help greatly.
In the end, I’m not sure if AdClick Media is strong enough to be a suitable alternative to AdSense. The minimum CPC is $0.05, so the minimum earning per click is 2.5 cents; the smaller number of advertisers will likely minimize your chances of super lucrative clicks. That said, it could be a viable supplement to your advertising mix.

3 Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Make A Guest Post
Let’s face the truth, guest posting is a trend now and everyone seems to love it. For blog owners, it means fresh content for readers; as for guest posters, it means backlinks and more exposure for their own blog. On the other hand, not every guest blogger get an impact on their blog after their guest post is published maybe because of the blog they guest posted on is not popular. Nevertheless, in this post, I will talk about the on site factors causing your guest posting venture to fail rather than the external factors.
Your Theme Sucks
Alright, one of the reasons is maybe your theme sucks. I’m sure you don’t like seeing the same theme on various websites and neither do your visitors. Believe me, they despise blogs that give them a feeling of reading a “copycat” blog. Lets say I am using John Chow’s theme on my blog and if I do get visitors from my guest post on John’s site, they might say, “Isn’t this just another blog similar to JC? Why should I even bother to read it if I can get everything from John’s blog?”
Well, using free themes isn’t just a problem. You see, themes are normally given out free to bloggers for a reason. Ever heard of this context, “There’s nothing free in this world?”, well it’s true because theme designers normally put their links on the footer of their free theme. What you will expect next is you will give out page rank juice to the theme creator and sending free traffic out too.
Last but not least, free themes are used to generate backlinks by theme designer so try not to expect too much from it. Generally, free themes don’t allow you to change the header or they might even replace it with a text header. So what’s good using a free theme, you won’t be able to brand your own blog and you might even chase off visitors from your guest post!
Your Content Sucks
Picture this, you read an awesome guest post on John Chow’s blog, you look at the credits, click on the link and you get sent to a blog where it’s stuffed with RSS feeds from John Chow, Shoemoney, Zac Johnson and Problogger. What will you do next? If I am you, I will hit the close button immediately without any thinking. What’s the benefit of reading a plagiarized blog? In this world, everyone loves original. “Buy Original, See Original” is the slogan for my country’s awareness program to stop pirating discs activities. Let say if you can buy a Air Jordan and China’s fake Air Jordan basketball shoes at the same price, which will you settle with? Definitely the real one so remember, I don’t mean you shouldn’t use some ideas from other bloggers but what I mean is not to copy them directly.
Besides plagiarized content, your blog is so not going to be popular after your guest post if it lack posts. A blog is alive as long as there are posts so if you are just a new blogger wanting to do a guest post, remember to make your blog useful before promoting it. No readers in the world like a blog with only a post and I can tell you that they will be your once in a lifetime visitor.
Your Are A Cheapskate
I remembered the old saying, “Being a cheapskate prepares you to be poor”, so please don’t be a miser. If you want to be rich, live a rich man’s life rather than saving all your money and starve yourself. First and foremost, those new “Probloggers” who wants to make big cheques in the blogosphere and save money at the same time will opt for a .info domain name. Here’s the fact, the .info domain is normally of low quality and Google doesn’t really like them too. Proxies owner usually use .info and that puts you in the same league with them too.
Do you know what makes Nike and Addidas so successful that nobody can kick them off the first and second place? It’s the logo. If you see a Swoosh logo or Three stripes on a sports equipment, you will know that they are of high quality and for me, seeing their logo makes me feel superior. Lets get back to your blog, if your blog has a logo designed by a 13-year-old kid, it’s destined to be a supreme failure and even God can’t stop it. My advice? Get a decent graphic designer to design your logo so you can make readers feel that they’re reading a quality blog.
The greatest failure in life is unable to take action so here’s my two cents, I can tell you everything that will make your blog fail and how to prevent it but it’s up to you to take action. If you prefer to sit, whine and take no action, I can guarantee that you will still fail so GO AND TAKE ACTION NOW!

Affiliate Marketing: Good for Your Health (and Wallet)
Making money online isn’t exactly the easiest endeavor, but you can do all sorts of things to stack the odds in your favor. One of these strategies is to focus on a highly profitable niche. After all, if you’re going to put in the work, you may as well get paid for it.
It’s with that kind of philosophy that we take a look at HealthConverter.com. As we make our way through this review, we’ll learn what this ad network has to offer and how it differs from the countless other ad networks on the web.
All About Health and Beauty
They say that variety is the spice of life, but as a result, it’s hard to become an expert in any one area. Whereas most other networks try to encompass every possible niche, HealthConverter.com is different. It only focuses on health and beauty.
You won’t find any affiliate offers related to the Snuggie or international travel here. Instead, the offers are entirely focused on weight loss, men’s health, skin care, and the like. HealthConverter.com says it focuses on this niche because it is one of the most profitable.
What Kinds of Offers?
Even though the focus is on just one niche, the offers available through HealthConverter.com still have some variety. They work directly with tier-1 advertisers like Extenze and Hydroxatone, as well as with tier-2 advertisers, the latter of which on a prepay basis.
There are likely some offers that may be exclusive to HealthConverter.com, but you’ll also find a number that are “streamlined” from other trusted networks like CX Digital, Neverblue, and Copeac.
As you can see from the screenshot above, the payouts are quite generous. Many offers are in the $40 CPA range, whereas others are on a revenue share basis. It’s also notable that you still get credit for re-orders, offering another stream of residual income. At the same time, you don’t lose out when it comes to product returns.
Referrals are most easily tracked through online venues, but you can also earn commissions based on sales through other channels as well. Just make sure that the prospective customer mentions your referral ID when they call in for a phone order, for instance.
Getting Paid Twice a Month
Naturally, each of the affiliate offers will come with their own share of different ad creatives. They have banners, text links, and the like. The advanced webmaster features include a good range of tracking options, as well as hidden affiliate link technology, XML data feeds, RSS article feeds and the like.
In terms of payment details, HealthConverter.com has a pretty good deal. You get paid twice a month and the minimum threshold is just $40. Based on most of the CPA offers, it means you only need one conversion to reach this benchmark.
Payment is available by check, bank wire, or PayPal. If you’re able to generate 20 or more sales per day, you can “negotiate special commission and payment requirements.” You can request weekly bank wires if you’re pushing that kind of volume. There’s also a reward program for even more bonuses.
Registration and Signup
In terms of the sign up process with HealthConverter.com, it’s pretty straightforward. You fill out the form, offering your phone number, address, and so on. However, your account has to be “verified” before you can do anything.
If you try to log into your account in the meantime, you’ll be shown the screen above. Thankfully, the verification process usually happens within the day; just make sure you’re around to answer the phone call.
All in all, Health Converter looks like a solid affiliate network that focuses on one very specific niche. It’s good if you want to capitalize on the health and beauty industry, but it may not be quite as useful for other folks. The low payout threshold and twice-monthly payment schedule are certainly nice though.

Two Tricks To Increase Profit with Aweber
Here’s the video I made while my car was being serviced at North Shore Acura. I would have got it done sooner but the WiFi speed at North Short is pretty slow. I decided to upload it at home instead. In the video, I explain two features of Aweber that many Internet marketers overlook: the include/exclude filter and the suppression list. These features really come in handy when dealing with multiple lists or trying to extract addition income from customers who haven’t bought yet.
It’s pretty amazing that I am able to produce such a video while waiting for my car. Only a few years ago, this would have been impossible to do in a mobile environment. Technology is a wonderful thing.

My Mobile Workstation At North Shore Acura
I’m at North Shore Acura right now getting the B16 service done on the MDX. They told me it will take 2.5 hours so I decided to set up my mobile workstation in their customer lounge area, which has nice work tables and free cafe mocha! So far, I’ve made a video on how to do two really cool tricks with Aweber. In the above photo, you can see the video being uploaded to YouTube. Once that’s complete, I’ll finish the post and make it go live.
Being able to work in a remote location, and anywhere you want, is one of the biggest advantage of making money online. The amazing thing is, all this is still relatively new. Only a decade ago, all this wasn’t possible. North Shore Acura never had free WiFi back then and nobody knew what a mobile data plan was. These days, it’s party hard to be not connected no matter where you are.
The WiFi speed at North Shore Acura isn’t very fast (no doubt to keep people like me from camping here). My iMovie is saying it will take over two hours to upload the video. I’m gong to cancel it and upload it at home. Keep an eye out for it. It will go live later today. I think you’ll like it.
I’m going to test drive the new RDX now. Should be fun.

Why Working Online Beats The Hell Out Of Having a Job
Given my current situation now – having a full time job and part time working on making money online – I feel I am in need of expressing the benefits of working online as compared to having a full time job. Note that I am having such comparison based on actual incidences and every point that I am going through is indefinitely backed up by real occurrence and facts. I am thankful that I personally get to live the ‘best’ of both worlds. Why? Because I get to see both sides of the story personally and decide for myself which way I ought to take.
Yes, we are constantly told about the ‘benefits’ and ‘privileges’ of working online as compared to being employed. In a way it does, but how many of us actually get to personally experience it? Take note that what I am about to write is just not some typical ‘yeah’ of having an online job. It is also not to scare the hell out of you about the ‘devil’ that lurks within being employed. I believe each of us has a tale to tell and this is my part of the story.
Let me just start by telling you a bit about my background and how I got about being employed.
Considering my age at current, 22, I have never been ‘officially’ employed. Not until a year ago. It was year 2009 -June- I just got back from a 3 months tormenting experience of studying abroad. I came to know about making money online but figures out I would still need a ‘proper’ job to sustain myself until I am capable of turning full time online. Not because I was from a poor family background or some sort, but I was at an age where I should seek independence financially and mentally. Instead of going about preparing a resume and seeking for a job, I went about working under my father’s wing. I wasn’t the typical ‘little boss’ you think I would be, instead, I see myself like any other employees around. Having a very strict father and ‘boss’, I was burdened with much more pressure, more gossips and am constantly being treated from colleagues behind a mask.
I feel like I needed to really share this out. I didn’t decide to go about posting up onto my blog instead because it hasn’t reach towards an amount of decent traffic just yet. I needed people to read this not because it is something to brag about. Because I am determined to let the world know that success is in your own hands and responsibility to decide. If you think having a full time offline job sucks, taking orders from somebody else sucks, making others rich where else you are even barely able to sustain yourself financially sucks, where having to deal with ‘office politically’ issues that drains off your mind and body gradually sucks, then I urge you to take a stand, for yourself and your future.
Why I said that working online beats the total crap out of having a full time job a.k.a. ‘office servants’.
You Are Totally Tied Down and I Meant Completely
What if I say that you are no difference from a mindless zombie? What can we say about a zombie? Zombies are infested being that reacts on how a virus has ultimately ‘programmed’ it to be. You go about doing what typical zombie does. You feed, you kill and you spread your deadly virus all over the place. Nothing else! When you are being employed full time offline, you are being ruled by somewhat a higher ‘power’ a.k.a. the company’s policies, rules and regulations and ultimately your superior or boss. You do exactly what it says and you spread this ‘custom’ too. How? By believing in working under somebody, you will eventually be passing down or influencing this negative trait to your kids, your closest friends or family and people around you. You are tied down financially and basically your daily ‘activities’ too. You’ve develop a rigid routine that is in favour of others. Each month, you only receive what you have been told to. Never more but there’s a high chance of getting less.
Have you constantly been asking yourself just how great it would be if you could just decide on how much you make, how early you wake, how you don’t have to take orders and how you don’t have to work as thou you are being ruled by a superior force of which when neglected would see that you will be forcefully ‘judged’? Learning the ways of making money online will see that all this are fulfilled. Ask any of the successful blogger or internet marketers around and I can guarantee you that they would never for once ever think of going back to the sort of ‘zombie-like-life’ they used to.
Do You Like ‘Political’ Issues? I Certainly Don’t
Let me just quote an excerpt that my friend once said to me.
“Where there are people, there ought to be gossips”
Where there are gossips, there tend to form little ‘tribes’ of their own. Each having their own distinctive ‘beliefs’. I don’t know much about the current state of your company (if you are still holding onto a full time day job) but the one that I am working in certainly has many tribes of their own. Certainly, whether you like it or not, people tend to hold grudge. Some would be able to handle their personal emotions well but for those that don’t; they will eventually go about spreading a ‘jeopardizing’ illness. It is very sickening to even just witness it. Everyone wears a ‘mask’, hiding away their ‘true’ intention. In the end, there is eventually no one you could trust. Professionalism is no longer cultivated. Everyone just wants a piece of the ‘action’. I have seen many capable individuals call it quit because they succumb to such ‘activities’. It saddens me greatly.
When I work online, I do not have to deal with this sort of nonsense anymore. I get to practically work on what I like to do without being judged. I will be able to surround myself with similar individuals that have the same likes as me. This is sad to say but somehow, users online tend to be much more sincere in what they do and deliver as compared to real life individuals.
You Lose The Ability To Decide On What Works Best
As I have mentioned, you are constantly being overpowered by the ‘greater being’ in your company. You certainly would not have the freedom or luxury to make decisions. There is a force of which you must always obey. Even if it proofs that you are right or that your proposal seems much more fruitful for the company, if the upper heads don’t see it that way, if they think it sucks, then it certainly is ‘sucky’. And if they think its brilliant, you rejoiced and praised yourself, thinking just how dazzling you have been in pleasing your bosses. In the end, you lose the ability to decide despite what works best or not. All you are thinking about is finding ways to satisfy the upper head of the company. Somewhat like ‘worshipping’, I must say.
When you work online however, every action that you take will eventually decides on how much you will progress and prospect. You have certainly no one to please but yourself and you decide on what works best towards your beset intention. Not only will you be able to enhance your analytical skill to harness your own credibility, you even get put it to far greater use than to just impress your boss and gain nothing out from it. Of course your superior would be ever so please to see that you are working in favour of the company but what makes you think they would appreciate what you are doing? Instead, they believe it is ultimately your responsibility to do so. If you don’t, you are terminated. Never a lose to them, but there goes your morale and confidence.
Climbing The Step To Success The ‘Dire’ Way
Now, now I believe many would have cultivated the beliefs of climbing the cooperate steps take ‘real’ effort and determination. Is it effort and determination in the sense of working ability or pleasing the right person? What seems more realistic?
In my context, I have witness many employee working under my father climbing the cooperate steps the ‘easy’ way. As long as you are able to please the right person and work in their favour regardless of the consequences, I assure you that you will make it big in no time. It works but it sickens me. Where else the really hardworking and determined one continue staying bottom and working their a** off.
Somehow, I believe as the higher you get, the more blinded you become. Instead of understanding what is exactly going in the company, superiors tend to gather information through the mouth of their employees. What happen if they have heard it from the ‘wrong’ type of people? Yes, innocent people are penalized and the bad guys win.
There are no steps to climb when you work online. There is no such thing as admin internet marketer, a manager internet marketer, a supervisor internet marketer and other non-sensible status implemented in the process of making money online. You decide where you stand. The more you equip yourself with knowledge, the more you work and strive, the higher will your profits online. Climbing the steps of cooperate is no ‘easy’ task and I must say in one way or another, I am impress by how there ought to be people who care less about their own pride and dignity just so they could hide under the formidable cover of their superiors.
Where Do You See Yourself In Future To Come?
In another 10 years or so, where do you see yourself at? Do you have dreams? Do you have your own goals to achieve? Or would you rather continue spending the rest of your life working beneath someone?
In another 10 years to come, would you rather have the utmost income ability to do whatever you want and whenever you want? To lavish yourself with practically anything you desire? Do you not want to b e successful yourself? Do you not want to be ‘somebody’ too yourself? I know I want and I want it not in another 10 years to come, but 5. I know it will be possible because I know making money online will see that I get it. If you think that you would rather work till the age of 50, retire and enjoy life then, I must say you are no difference from any typical individual in majority the world has. No more than outstanding. No more than being just another person.
Live life to the fullest and make every moment counts whether if it is for a second. Be that person you have always dreamed to be and take life seriously. =)
What Do You Have To Say For Yourself Now?
It is my greatest wish for this article to serve as a LOUD ‘WAKE UP’ call for you. By no means am I trying to offend anyone with my personal definition of such subject. All I am saying is that:
You Are Responsible For Your Own Success – Not Anyone Else
I don’t mean to be harsh but this is the real world. If you still don’t take responsibility for your own success into your own hands, then the end results will not be what you are looking for.
Do you have a story to share or that you see things the other way around? I welcome every point of opinions and certainly am not afraid of contradicting ideas. As mentioned, we have out part of the story to share. I would really love to hear about what others have to say. =)

When Adversity Strikes, How Do You Handle It?
My buddy Shoemoney has put up the second of his four free Shoemoney Systems video. This time, Shoe is hanging by his pool, which has a big Shoemoney logo and a robot pool cleaner, and recalling a run in he had with the RIAA. Those are the mean men who goes after you and your friends for downloading music from unapproved sources.
Shoe was sent a take down notice and had 48 hours to remove his site or else. The site was making $100 a day so taking it down wouldn’t be a huge lost. However, instead of taking the site down, Shoe did something else and went on to make over $250,000 with it. How you handle adversity is one of the “secrets” to making money online. Newbies usually give up or throw in the towel at the first sign of adversity, while the “gurus” push through and end up making the big bucks.
If you feel like you’re struggling to make serious money online, then this might be the most important video you’ll ever watch. Enjoy!
BTW – Since Shoe showed you his pool, I figure I might as well show you his office. The video below was made back in 2008 when Shoe had just moved from his home office and into a “real” office. The Shoeplex is only five minutes from Shoe’s house.
