10 Days In Istanbul – Tennis And Sightseeing

This is just a quick record of my recent trip to Istanbul where I was teaching tennis for 10 days and had a chance to meet a fellow SBI-er who showed me around.

I was invited to Istanbul by Vejen, my good friend by now from Turkey whom I taught tennis already 2 years ago in Slovenia.

Vejen and me and the public tennis court where we trained

He found my website through Google (of course), realized that I know something about tennis and decided to visit me for tennis lessons. (I must have presold him with lots of quality content. ;) )

This year he wanted to come again but since Slovenia was getting quite cold in October I suggested instead that I come down south to Turkey. Read more

The Ultimate Heatmap By Michael Campbell

Michael Campbell is one of the few internet marketers whose newsletter I read regularly.

He has won my trust through no BS tips and information on how to succeed online.

But what Michael released today trumps all the free stuff I have seen so far.

It’s a free report – the Ultimate Heatmap – which shows where the visitors are most likely to look and most likely to click. Read more

Afraid of Failure When Starting Your First Website?

A friend emailed me recently with her doubts and fears about starting her first (SBI) website. I thought our Q&A could be useful for someone else too…

——————————————-

I’m so worried that all these other sites are so much better and way ahead of me, but I am in this for the long term, I want to fire my boss so bad. :)

I don’t have your confidence level, or skill with computers and websites, but I do have the burning desire to be free.

How can I keep the fear of failure and fear of the competition from beating me? Actually fear is part of my motivation: fear of having to stay at my day job. Does that make sense?

What Google Knows About Links To Your Site

Google has recently updated the reporting of incoming links to your site in the Google Webmaster tools.

Here’s what Google now shows and what it means:

a) Which site links the most to you

In most cases that’s because a site with many links to you placed a link in their blogroll – which means that every page of their site links to you. That’s why you see many links.

What’s interesting here is that Google finds this important therefore I assume blogroll links which create many links may be more powerful than single links from the content. Read more

Warning – Read This Before Starting An Online Business

When I started my own Internet journey in 2005, I wasn’t really thinking about financial freedom or earning lots of money.

I thought about sharing my knowledge of tennis with the world – and have more people benefit from what I have learned.

Therefore, I did not have a set amount of how much I want to earn. I just wanted to publish my brain.

So there was not this “catch” in my mind: if I invest this much time and effort into this, then I would expect such and such reward (money). Read more

Would You Like To Work With Me On A Big Vacs Related Project?

I’ve decided to take my vacuum cleaner website to the next level. I plan to publish real vacuum reviews on the website and not just some information gathered from around the Web.

That’s why I need a person who will review vacuums the way they should really be reviewed.

I need this person to be reliable, honest, hard working and willing to go the extra mile to achieve outstanding quality and who of course is also looking to earn some extra cash.

I will pay very generously – as I am not in a business of maximizing profit (since I am doing really well) but in a business of delivering maximum quality reviews. Read more
