Newbie Bloggers Confuse Me

Sometimes I really wonder why noobs tell everyone that they're noobs. I personally don't want to learn how to make money from someone that would classify themself as a beginner. I want to learn from someone who has been around the block twenty or thirty times.

That said, I have found some great sites about blogging and other topics that were started by people who aren't that experience. However, I think that the branding would be a lot more powerful if they told everyone that they were experts instead of beginners. Just my two cents.

Court Rips Large SEO Business

I just had to laugh this week when I saw Court rip Orange Soda's SEO business. I don't really know a ton about SEO yet so I have to keep reading Maki, Court and Griz. However, I do know that I wouldn't really hire these guys. There's a guy named Alex who left some comments on the post and honestly, he made it sound like all they care about over there is selling. He was pretty dang proud of how big they have gotten, of course that has nothing to do with how good they are at SEO. Very interesting stuff.

Blogging Is NOT The Best Way To Make Money On The Internet

I find it interesting that so many people think that blogging is the best way to make money with the internet. This is most definitely NOT true, in fact blogging by far is one of the worst. Over the last few years, tens - no hundreds of thousands of people have wasted countless hours blogging and honestly they have no plan for success.

Unless you are exceptionally dynamic you are going to be hard up to have any success blogging. You would be a lot better off going into something like niche marketing where you actually have a plan.

Make Money On The Internet With A Fast Food Coupon Site?

Today I was taking a look at some different sites I might buy and came across a very interesting one that you can find here: fast food coupons. The funny thing about the site is that right now it doesn't have any fast food coupons, just a basic page that tells what they are. Apparently fast food coupons are somewhat hard to find, but quite a few people look for them. I guess getting a discount on a $3 burger is pretty important to some people.

After looking into it, fast food coupons is actually a niche that's quite decent. It's not like you're going to retire from it, but honestly it doesn't look that hard to crack. The ideal would be if there was some kind of affiliate program that gave better commissions for people that wanted fast food discounts but so far I haven't really been able to find such a thing. Anyway in my travels I have found that coupon sites can often do quite well so I thought I would throw it out there as an idea.

Make Money Online - Unique Article Wizard Review

Lately I've been running some experiments with Unique Article Wizard. If you're into doing article distribution to get links for your sites you will absolutely love this service. There are quite a few differences between this tool and other services that distribute articles.

Unique Article Wizard allows you to submit unique versions of articles to a fairly large network of sites. Most of my submissions get sent to at least 1,000 different sites and depending on which categories you want to submit to they could get sent to even more.

I wanted to do a Unique Article Wizard review with this post but honestly I couldn't possibly do a better one than Court from Court's Internet Marketing School already did. You can read his review here: Unique Article Wizard Review. He's done some case studies and it's some seriously good stuff. Even if you aren't interested in the service you'll learn a ton by reading his review. Court also provides a bonus video for people that buy the service through his affiliate link.
