Hey, it’s been a while since I’ve written. I’ve been so bogged down with stuffing my deal pipeline, ain’t had no time to blog. But the good news, is that there will be some changes made to this website soon that will allow me to dynamically update it without necessarily taking the time out to write. I’m really looking forward to that. And I think you’ll like it too. This plan will unfold in align with what I wrote about earlier, concerning being “open source“. So be on the lookout for some changes soon.

As someone who’s been building their internet presence for quite sometime, according to my google analytics, Facebook has been and continues to be the highest driver of traffic to my websites. BY FAR. And I mean, usually Facebook is drives about 4x more traffic than the 2nd traffic driver. Therefore, I try to stay on top of the various tips and tricks that can be utilized on Facebook.

It’s been sometime since I’ve taken a step back and reflected on what I’ve been doing right and wrong in my business. And I’ll admit that one of the main things that I’ve been doing wrong is speaking with unmotivated sellers. Now hear me out…I do realize that to find “motivated sellers” you must sift through numerous “unmotivated sellers”. However, I believe that the process of sifting through the unmotivated, slowly drains you…your morale and overall motivation. Ideally, one would outsource this task and avoid such a phenomena. But if outsourcing it is not in your budget, you have to work around this.

Yo! I just want to start-off this post by expressing my extreme discontent with working at this moment in time. I’ve been working so hard that I’ve started eating bad (junk and fast-food), working out less, drinking more, etc. That sounds like a cliche of the “working man”, now that I think about it. There are a lot of people that “wake-up” with an extra 30 pounds due to such bad habits. It’s a bad chain reaction. Long-hours lead to less time for balanced meals which lead to less energy to workout and as far as the drinking part…I just like malt-liquor. Which was never a problem when I burned them off. My six-pack has turned into a four-pack and it’s fading. Dammit! I gotta stay fit. Without health there’s no wealth. I’m way too sexy. I need to find a new athletic challenge. Usually that keeps me going. If you can remember, I planned to run a half-marathon on Halloween. But my running partner got injured in a car wreck, so that plan was scrapped as I didn’t want to run another marathon alone…BORING. Part of this entire problem is because I’m bored with the routine of life right now…and I really hate when life is boring. I need to move asap! A friend from college told me recently that her job is moving her to Greece for like 2 months next Spring. She said I’d be welcome to visit for an extended time. That sounds right-up my alley right about now. We’ll see…

Here is episode 2 of my how-to Twitter series.? Last time I talked about the implementation of a 3rd party application such as Hootsuite.com to create custom keyword streams which would allow you to interact with users with great efficiency.

Last month, I had an epiphany regarding Twitter.? And I now realize how powerful of a platform it is.? Social Media is here to stay whether you like-it/understand-it or not.? I mean, Facebook is now the number 2 website in the world right now…they’re actually making a movie about it.? Facebook is second only to Google and I have a feeling that they won’t be second place for long.? The Facebook advertising model alone blasts Google’s out of the water.? Google ads are just about dead….Facebook ads are where it’s at right now (in case you were wondering).

Not too much to talk about tonight. I’m actually still recovering from the all-nighter from two nights ago. I can’t pull all nighter’s like I used to. Maybe it’s because I’m getting old. Or maybe it’s because when I have them I usually have to spend 8 hours at the 9-to-5, the next day versus a few hours at school. Yeah, I’m going with the latter.? I ain’t old yet, although my left knee creeks at the gym.
