One of the greatest copywriters, famed for the Boron Letters, and the Coat of Arms letter has passed away on Easter Sunday.
He was just short of his 69th birthday.

There’s a focus on getting maximum productivity to generate more traffic, build your list or developing more products.
After all, there’re only 24 hours in a day and rushing your product to the market, and building your community are priorities
But, there is value to taking a half hour out every day to use quiet time to think about your current projects.
Quiet time is NOT about sitting on your couch and watching TV.
Nor does it involve looking for a quiet corner with a six-pack.
Rather, it’s a form of Continue reading
I’m headed to the airport shortly, before I head out, some updates…

I’ll be headed for a short stint in New York for some business meetings.
If you’re in the Big Apple, drop me a mail.
Have a great week ahead!
I was pleasantly surprised when I got an email from Robyn “Sleepy Blogger” Tippins, MyBlogLog’s new community manager (Robyn’s offical MBL post), less than 24 hours after posting “MyBlogLog Social Traffic Credibility and Attempts To Cripple Spammers“.
Here’s Robyn’s response to my feeling that posting 20 messages a day could be limiting:
Andrew, hopefully this won’t hamper users that are actually engaging in conversation, because everytime you receive a message back, you up your daily limit by one. So if I message you I have 19 messages available, but if you message me back, then my message limit goes back up to 20.
It’s only one method we’re trying, so if you have any suggestions let me know.

The concept of reciprocity is an intriguing one and goes one step further than just blanket quotas.
I think as time goes by, the messaging model will get refined further.
And it is forward thinking on my part that 20 messages would be insufficient for a community size of 1,000.
It would seem fair to incorporate gradual increments to the number of available messages to MyBlogLog members in good repute. That way, it’ll prevent MyBlogLog members from going out of the network to use email to communicate.
Here’s why MyBlogLog should increase message quotas: Continue reading
MyBlogLog can be a source of highly-targeted, relevant and free traffic if you know how to use it effectively.
But increasingly, spam marketers have been bombarding the social networking site, such that there is a toggle to view messages only from members of your social network (and cut out messages from non-members (potentially spammers).
MyBlogLog obviously views the matter seriously enough to take further measures.
Witness the latest salvo:
I was in the midst of posting messages to PepperJam’s Kris “Mr Pepperjam” Jones and Robyn Martin‘s MyBlogLog profiles. [To comment on the latest Meet the PepperJam Team video]
There’s now a daily message cap of about 20 messages sent per day.
[Check out the MBL blog post “Spam-a-lama-dama” for details]
In my opinion, MyBlogLog is one of the most, if not THE site, for Continue reading
There comes a time when you’ll hit a brick wall in your Internet Marketing efforts.
One could be because you’ve not taken enough effort, and everything stalls.
I’d like to look at the opposite situation, where you’ve done everything you thought you could and your income has begun to plateau.
If you’re an affiliate marketer, it may mean looking at new products to market, and doing new research.
But it doesn’t have to be that way.
If you’ve been constructing a demographic profile of your customers (ie their psychographics), you have an idea Continue reading
