I’ve been procrastinating far too long on this post - and unfortunately, it’s going to come out a bit rushed. Part of the reason for that, it’s hard to justify the ROI on blogging now because I actually WORK on projects that make me money, instead of just writing about how smart I am. While I miss blogging often quite a bit sometimes (it’s really fun to write about things you enjoy), I really like making money on fun and profitable projects a whole lot more. One of the best testimonials I can give for Jim Boykin and the Internet Marketing Ninjas Program (*yes, this is an affiliate link - please see below) is that after studying with him in the Ninja dojo in Troy, NY - I was much better equipped to work on the projects that I do now. The time I spent in the dojo has given me a skillset to earn an income for my lifetime. $3k is a WHOLE lot cheaper than the hundred thousand or so I dropped on college and business school. I’m not saying that IMN is the ONLY thing you’re going to need to make a boatload of cash, but it is at least worth a freshman and sophomore year at a MUCH cheaper price. There IS no college for this stuff - only the ninja underground.
Matt McGee has spent a lot of time and effort to build a pretty cool awards program for the best posts in search engine marketing - the SEMMY’s. I’m honored to be a part of it, and can only hope that one day we’ll have an awesome black tie, red carpet event to commemorate the greatness of our industry. I will be judging the Small Business category along with Andrew Shotland and Rae Hoffman.
