Our first Layoff

April 1, 2011

It's sad to have to announce this. We thought we had something great. Unfortunately it seems our support guy, Larry Dame, has been giving himself badges. We didn't notice this at first because we didn't have a way to see who has what badges. But when viewing the 877 badge we noticed Larry's image twice. [...]

Know your Target Market

January 31, 2011

This weekend a program was soft launched and a few people joined. There were some problems, and interestingly enough I heard someone emailed out about it to their list trashing the site.

Business Restructured

September 21, 2010

What if I told you Timtech LLC, the company behind TEToolbox was now owned by Tim Linden and Jon Olson. And what if I told you Affiliate Funnel is now owned by Kinder-Rash-Marketing?

Creating a VIRAL Team Concept

August 2, 2010

Teams are great. People love working together. I wish I had someone working with me in my office with me. I know we "aren't supposed to" mix politics and religion with business, but this really sums it up great: "Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work: If one [...]

Paypal Needs Better Security

July 14, 2010

I've begun getting a huge number of charge backs and unauthorized claims from Paypal. It's clear the accounts are getting broken into, and it's clear Paypal is detecting them..  But only after multiple sales are made. This really boggles my mind, because it's really easy to spend with Paypal if you've got the person's password. [...]

How do you motivate yourself?

February 12, 2010

I'm in Traffic Exchange Live, chatting with Jon Olson and John Guanzon. Literally typing this while chatting with them. The topic? Burnout, balance, and motivation.

The downside of working from home

These past few days have been a bit crazy for me. You see my two kids both got the flu and when that happens everything else comes to a halt. That would be the downside of working from home. When anyone gets sick it affects my work, in different variations. When I'm sick I still [...]
