I’m receiving like 2 mails every 10 minutes about the freaking insect. And the worst part is, some marketers, whose newsletters I appreciate, are sending double of everything, which means mailwasher picks it up and blacklists it.

I’m sorry Mike, I can’t afford it. I really wish I could.

Gee.

Just got of the Joyner-Filsaime-call. I started trying to connect to the web-cast around 5 minutes before the call started, but no luck. So finally, around 10 minutes after the call started I got on via telephone. I was lucky I guess, because they said the lines were full. About five minutes after I got on the call, the web-cast started working, but I noticed there was some lag, so I stayed on the telephone.

Some pretty revealing stuff there. And I’m sure I could’ve made massive use of this package, but $997 is not in my league. It’s one months wages for me. They offer three payments of $379, but it’s still not good. Too darn much. It’s killing me.

On a brighter note I made a very short info-product yesterday and put up an auction of it on Swedens largest auction-site: Tradera. The BuyNow-price was almost twice of the starting-bid, but it got sold in a couple of hours. I put up a new auction with the same product a couple of hours later, but didn’t get the same luck twice. There’s a bid for it, but just the starting-bid. Anyways, my investment in that product is Zero, so it’s profit none-the-less. I’m thinking that maybe I should write another short course In the few hours that remain until I have to get to work… Could be fun to see If I’d manage to replicate it. I mean I could sell the rights to these products later if they both are successfull. And the second product I’m thinking of is also Zero Investment to do. It’s great knowing a lot of stuff. But it’s hard writing it down.

Eric Holmlund mentioned my Snippet-rotator in his blog. Thank you, Eric I’m gonna take some time to tidy it up later today I think, when I’ve finished up the Paypal-download-script.

Oh I wish I could afford the BM-package. It’s so awesome. I guess I’ll have to go on with my small-time plans instead. Like developing my own software and sell it terribly under-priced

Well, first of all, I have a daughter who’s just 13 weeks old, so programming and scripting must come in second sometimes. But work is progressing.

When I started working on the PayPal-script, I realised I needed a download-script that verifies the request for a file is legit, and that generates a one-time-url. But then I started thinking, “hey, I need to be able to set that url so it has an expiry-date or something”. So I wrote that. Now I started thinking “What about changing it so the URL can expire on either a given date OR after a specified number of downloads”, so that’s up next. The PayPal IPN-handler is more or less finished, It’s just that I don’t want a static download-page. That would suck worse than anything I can think of.

So after all that’s finished I will bring you a couple of good offers. I’ve also started re-writing my old myDownloads-script. Check it out here. The premium-version will include expiring download-links. And probably a couple of other neat features.

In the meantime, I’ve found an excellent new online-service, GreenZap. It’s a new payment-processor. You can never have enough payment-processors and e-currencies . Sign up and receive $50 sign-up-bonus usable in some of their associated stores.

Well, the offer i had to make will have to wait until tomorrow. The Paypal-IPN-script I thought I was going to use had a couple of flaws. Since it would take longer to fix those than to actually write an ipn-handler myself, I’m taking the second route. I’m writing one myself. When that one’s finished, I’ll bring you something special.

This blog has quickly become a favorite.

See you when I have something interesting to say

Here I was, thinking I was going to make you a special offer today, only to find out PayPal is having difficulties right now so I can’t test my offer-page fully. Yay. That really DOES NOT rock.

I’ll just have to calm down a bit, and finish it off once PayPal calms down and gets real again

Hope you’re all having a nice day though

I was supposed to put the finishing touches to my content-portal, but I kept putting it off. Instead, I spiced up the snippet-script a bit.

You can now put it in the root and have it randomly pick a directory, and then randomly pick a snippet-file from that random directory. Lots of “random” here

Still, don’t forget to use SSIs Virtual Include, and check the file to pick which way you want to choose you snippet.

Here’s the zipped php-file.

Oh, and for those of you unfamiliar with The Article System, go check it out!

A review of “Desperate for Money” by Shawn Casey and others.

The idea seemed ridiculous, a book about some high-rollers telling us “average joes” how to make some quick bucks, but the sales-letter was good, so as usual, i bought the damn thing.

It wasn’t bad. Not bad at all.

The idea is this:
“A gang of armed and masked desperados burst into your home, holds your family hostage under gun-point and gives you a computer with internet-connection and 48 hours to get $1000 or they will kill your family”

The “gurus’s” that participated are: Marc and Terry Goldman, Bob Silber, Alan Bechtold, Joe Vitale, Jeff West, Bob Wilson, Jason Mangrum, Jim Fleck and Jeff Paul, Kennon Fort, Eric Van Der Hope, Joshua Shafran, Elizabeth D Nichols, Michael T Glaspie and last, but not least, Stone Evans.

The idea is that they were not allowed to use their current knowledge or network of jv-partners or colleagues, nor their current lists. They had to do it from scratch. And they did.

So, is it any good? Any worth-while ideas? Anything you can put to use?

Well, I’ll be honest, some of the ideas in this book are really good, and others are a bit out there. There are a few I wouldn’t mind doing myself, if I wasn’t so dang lazy. Others I wouldn’t even consider, but maybe you would.

All in all, it’s a good product, and it’s not overpriced. I like it. It’s a good read, and someday, if the lazy-bug stops biting me, I’m gonna try some of the tactics in this book.

Go check it out.

If you’re using the Article System, this piece of code might come in handy for you. In the first manual i downloaded for it, it said they would show a way to include the article-snippets on the index-page, but that never happened, so I managed to hack something up myself. Notice: this isn’t pretty, but it seems to do the trick

It should reside in the same directory as your snip_*.html-files, and a smart thing would be to rename your index-files to .shtml and put <[REMOVETHIS]!--#include virtual "randomsnippet.php" --> where you want the snippet to appear. Please put a nicely formatted paragraph-wrapper or something around that statement or it will look like shite!

—-< randomsnippet.php >—-

function getRandomFile($prefix)
{
$dir = opendir(’.');
while (($myfile = readdir($dir)) !==false)
{
if ($myfile != ‘.’ && $myfile != ‘..’ && is_file($myfile) && $myfile != ‘resource.frk’)
{
if(ereg(”^$prefix”, $myfile))
$files[] = $myfile;
}
}
closedir($dir);
srand ((float) microtime() * 10000000);
$file = array_rand($files);
return $files[$file];
}
$display = getRandomFile(”snip_”);
include($display);
?>

—-< randomsnippet.php >—-

That’s it. Enjoy. I’m not charging you for it

Forgot to add the links …

Fixed now, though

Found and bought a little info-product about adsense the other day. I know, I know, another one of those…. This one has a different angle though. I think there’s something to it. Basically it’s about combining adwords (using high-traffic low-cost keywords) and adsense (for lower-traffic higher paying keywords) and affiliate products to get revenue. Then comes the interesting part. When revenue and traffic starts dropping, you stop your adwords-campaign and …. Well, this is where you find out for yourself

In order for you to do that, I’m going to give you a little demonstration of myAffiliateLinks …

The first link, simple re-direct, no cloak

The second link, cloaked re-direct

The third link, exit-page, no cloak

The Fourth link, exit-pake, cloaked re-direct

I think that about shows you what this script does

Anyways, I’m off to bed, I’ll post here and on a couple of forums when the pre-launch offer is ready
