I've got a pretty colorful past


I got my first job when I was fourteen-years old, working behindthe counter of a fast-food restaurant at Northbrook Court shoppingmall in Northbrook, Illinois.


After all, I needed to save up money to buy a TRS-80 Model Icomputer from Radio Shack!


Once I acquired my driver's license, I worked in the health &beauty department at Venture. Yes, I was a stockboy.


At the age of seventeen, I was fortunate enough to get hired forone of my best jobs ever, a "grunt" at a video store in Deerfield,Illinois. Surrounded by Apple computers, big-screen televisionsand Atari video game cartridges, I was almost in heaven!

You know the commercials with the old woman who says "I've fallenand I can't get up"?


Yes, I sold emergency alert systems for a time. Don't laugh. Idid pretty well.


When I was at that job, I remember striking up a businessfriendship with a man by the name of Phil Fisher.


Phil was a seasoned salesman. He seemed like the kind of guy whohad made a profession out of selling whatever he could to make aliving. And he appeared quite knowledgable, gaining my respect inshort order.


One of the things Phil taught me is that the world's best leadersare almost always readers.


Well, since I already had a love for books, I guess I wasn'tsurprised at this theory and I still enjoy reading quite a bit tothis day.


I've just created a new video to discuss five books which I believeare essential for all Internet marketers and entrepreneurs. Ithink you'll enjoy these and I highly recommend picking them up at Amazon.




What are some of YOUR favorite books for business? Please be sureto let me know in the comments section of the site.

P.S. - Did I really need to go through my entire early work historyto make this point? No. But I thought you might find itinteresting just the same. :-)

I try not to be highly controversial on my blog, but from time totime I will stir things up.


When it comes to politics, I tend to "duck and cover."


And this political season is not much different.


In the past, I used to frequent political sites to debate andgather information.


Unfortunately, most of these sites either lean drastically to oneside or the other, or the people on the site just verbally abuseeach other.


That's why it is refreshing to come across a site where all kindsof political discourse are encouraged, but members are not allowedto flame each other (eg: no abuse!)


I invite you to visit Political Fever and join in the greatdiscussion, regardless of which side of the aisle you are on.


Of course, those outside the U.S. may find it interesting as well!


It appears that Obama Barack is going to get the Democraticnomination and run against John McCain for the presidency thiscoming November.


Yes, Hilary still has a ever-so-slight chance to shake things up.


What is your opinion?


Visit now and engage in the discussion...

You've registered your domain...


You've created your site design...


You've added original content...


And now you wonder where the money is.


It's a common story, but it is one that is easily resolved with oneword.


"Traffic"


You can easy-button your way through registration, design andcontent.


But there is NO easy button for traffic. It doesn't exist.


That doesn't mean you can't generate traffic!


In fact, there are a number of ways you can generate traffic toyour site.


Today's entry focuses on one method of traffic generation...


Contests.


Take, for example, this new site all about fresh maine lobster.




Now I am not a fan of lobster, or any seafood for that matter.


But people who like lobster really like lobster!


What is FreshMaineLobster.com doing to get traffic?


Simple. They are giving away a $100 LobsterGram gift certificate!


There are two things I want you to take note of...


1) If you like lobster, you should definitely enter as there areonly a couple entries on the page as of this writing. Seems like agreat opportunity to have a chance at winning.


2) Pay attention to how the contest drives traffic to the site andthink about how you might be able to encourage visitors with somesort of contest. It's not difficult to do!


Your contest doesn't need to be complex. It just needs to offer alow barrier to entry and provide a prize of value. In this case,simply commenting or linking to the site can get you a $100Lobstergram gift certificate. Both criteria are met.


Take a look. The actual contest page is here...




Good luck. :-)
