Musings About Travel, Photography, eCommerce & Wordpress
While I’ve been using Skimlinks for several years on my coupon website, I recently created a couple of content sites that are generating quite a bit of traffic. One is about crafts and the other is about flowers, and I wanted a way to monetize those sites without coding individual affiliate links (who has time […]
Through the years, I’ve struggled to find a way that give back which leverages my ecommerce & marketing experience. I’ve finally found a way. FACT goods is a new online store that features cool t-shirts and hats which help provide funding to charities focused on cancer & other types of research. We are particularly proud […]
After a day full of grey skies and rain, I decided to stand up a new website – FlowerGlossary.com. I had been sitting on the domain for at least 7 years, but probably closer to 10 and decided that it was time to use. I hired some writers, found some amazing flower photos on pixabay.com […]
Starting an affiliate site is tougher than it sounds. It’s a chicken or the egg situation – you need good affiliate programs to generate revenue and credibility within a network like Commission Junction, Linkshare and Impact Radius, but you can’t get approved for programs because you don’t have any credibility. So, what do you do? […]
I recently decided that I wanted to add some savings calculators to my other website, Official Coupon Code. It’s built on WordPress (even though it doesn’t look like it!) so I looked for some tools that I could use to whip up some calculators and stumbled upon Calculoid. Their tool was relatively easy to use, […]
I recently responded to request for a source for an SEO article that Manta.com was writing.

SEO stands for Search Engine […]
As an army of one, I’m always testing new technologies out to see how I can execute things on a quick and scrappy basis. The latest one I tested was KingSumo Giveaways, which I’m using to run a $200 giveaway. Overall, the tool was incredibly easy to use and has made getting the contest easy to […]
One of the lessons that I learned earlier this year when launching a new website with an old domain was that the site was mis-categorized by Websense, and therefore being blocked for many visitors. Fortunately, a person that I know at a university which used Websense let me know about the problem, but this is something that […]
Over the past few months, I’ve been working hard to get press for my other site, which is still very unknown. I’ve had amazing luck thus far, landing links from both the Huffington Post and How Stuff Works in the past week, along with some of the other press that you’ve read about on the blog. […]
While I’ve only been targeting PR efforts in the USA, I was excited to see my first piece of international PR come in – from Huffington Post Australia! When you’re starting up, every bit of press is key and I’m thrilled that they chose to feature my SEO related blurb – a recommendation of Ahrefs. Here’s a […]
