<p>The internet is a wonderful place.  It&#8217;s the greatest communications tool ever invented, and probably the biggest gold mine the world has ever seen.  In my opinion we haven&#8217;t even come close to seeing the riches that this wonderful medium has to offer.  I love the story about<a href="http://www.thomasdemaesschalck.com/17-year-old-girl-makes-up-to-70000-a-month-with-myspace-site/#comment-3563" title="17 year old girl makes up to 70k per month" target="blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.thomasdemaesschalck.com/17-year-old-girl-makes-up-to-70000-a-month-with-myspace-site/_comment-3563?referer=');"> the 17 year old girl in Michigan who makes up to 70,000 a month</a> giving away myspace layouts.  John Chow&#8217;s <a href="http://www.johnchow.com/blog-income-report-may-2008/" title="Blog income report May 2008" target="blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.johnchow.com/blog-income-report-may-2008/?referer=');">monthly income reports</a> are serious inspiration to me.  The guys over at <a href="http://www.stompernet.net/stompervision/" title="Stompernet.net" target="blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.stompernet.net/stompervision/?referer=');">Stompernet</a> provide so much valuable information for free that I can&#8217;t wait until I can afford to join to get access to their faculty.  Look at what <a href="http://www.drcarol.com/" title="DrCarol.com" target="blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.drcarol.com/?referer=');">Dr. Carol</a> offers pet owners!</p>
<p>With all the legitimate businesses out there working diligently every day to provide us with a great internet experience it&#8217;s no wonder that bozos like <em>STUPID METER</em> piss me off.<br />
These guys may be operating with in the letter of the law, but somehow this thing still feels like fraud to me.  Here&#8217;s what they&#8217;re doing.  As you&#8217;re surfing the net you hit a website that they&#8217;re buying ad space on.  Their ad pops up underneath your current window so you don&#8217;t even know its there until you close your window.  The <em>offer</em> is a stupid meter quiz, <q>how dumb are you</q>.  I&#8217;m not sure why this sucks people in, but it must because they&#8217;re paying good money to put this in front of you.  My first reaction was to just close this out.  Then I considered sending them an email invoice billing them for a <em>consulting</em> fee.  After all I didn&#8217;t ask to see this ad so they must have wanted my opinion of it.  Then I thought that I would jump through all the hoops using their contact information to <em>register</em>.  That&#8217;s how I got through to the final page that you see in the image above.</p>
<p>They want WHAT?  These bozos really think we&#8217;re all stupid.  They want to charge your phone $14.95 <em>per month</em> to look at the results of their little quiz.  On top of that they&#8217;re then going to ask you to select a smorgasbord of offers which I&#8217;m sure would cost you another healthy sum of money before you see the results of this quiz.  </p>
<p>Now most of us are probably smart enough to recognize this for what it is, a bald faced RIPOFF!  But most of us are probably not the young teenagers and twenty somethings that this ad is targeting.  How closely is the JACKASS crowd going to look at this?  They&#8217;re going to get sucked into filling out the quiz to learn that they&#8217;re <q>Smarter than x% of people on the internet</q>.  Except that they&#8217;ve just committed to something over $14.95 per month for the privilege.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t mind ads on the internet.  It&#8217;s one of the things that makes this such a wonderful gold mine.  But this website and others like it are <b>SCUM!</b> I wish to Heaven there was a good way to send them packing with their mangy tails tucked between their legs.  (apologies to all the mangy four legged dogs out there.)</p>
<p>How can you avoid getting sucked into websites like this?  Pay attention to the terms and conditions.  Although many people read these documents many don&#8217;t and therefore they don&#8217;t realize what they&#8217;re getting into.  Pay attention to your phone bill, your credit card, and your bank statements.  If you see any unusual charges contact your phone company, credit company, or bank immediately.  If there is a phone number associated with the charge call it and do not give up until you get a live person on the line.  The blood sucking bottom feeders will have set up a phone tree from hell, combined with a purgatory of a wait time to connect.  DO NOT GIVE UP!  Stay on the line until you get through to a live person!  Even if it takes all day.  If you don&#8217;t get through today, call again tomorrow and every day after that until you get the representative of the lilly livered sharks on the phone.  Once you have them on the phone have them cancel the account.  Have them cancel all recurring charges, have them refund your money if you&#8217;ve been charged.  Don&#8217;t take no for an answer.  Don&#8217;t be nice, don&#8217;t let them intimidate you.  </p>
<p>Once you&#8217;ve managed to get them to cancel the account and recurring charges I strongly recommend that you call your phone company, credit card company, and your bank to get a new phone number and have new credit and debit cards issued.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For the past few months I&#8217;ve been doing a lot of research on web marketing and doing business online.  Back in the day I remember thinking that the internet was going to be a very powerful economic force.  Having a Navy career going on it wasn&#8217;t something that I would choose to focus on.  Looking back I can see that it would have been a worthwhile endeavor to try to learn as much as I could about the internet.  Not the spectator side or surfing, but the creative, productive side of the internet.  That&#8217;s all water under the bridge now.</p>
<p>Some would say that ship has already sailed.  The internet is all grown up and the good ideas have all been taken.  Far from it I say.  We have yet to see the greatest fortunes the internet has created.  We have yet to see the next greatest thing that will become part of our daily lexicon like Google, or Hotmail, or Myspace.  Everyday new websites are going up.  Brave entrepreneur&#8217;s like my older brother David Robert are working diligently on sites like <a href="http://www.proximitycast.com/aGem/" title="Proximity Cast website" target="blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.proximitycast.com/aGem/?referer=');">Proximity Cast</a> as a way to help serve people in new and exciting ways.  The guys at Google are constantly pushing the creative envelope of computing to bring the cyber surfing and cyber producing public new and creative ways to seek out products, services, and information they need with products such as adsense, adwords, and google apps.</p>
<p>In my quest to carve out my own little dot com empire I&#8217;ve been reading blogs like <a href="http://www.doshdosh.com/" title="www.doshdosh.com" target="blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.doshdosh.com/?referer=');">Dosh Dosh</a>, <a href="http://www.johnchow.com/" title="www.johnchow.com" target="blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.johnchow.com/?referer=');">John Chow</a>, and Alvin Phang&#8217;s <a href="http://www.gathersuccess.com/" title="www.gathersuccess.com" target="blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.gathersuccess.com/?referer=');">Gather Success</a>.   I&#8217;ve gathered a huge amount of information from <a href="http://www.paulgraham.com/" title="www.paulgraham.com" target="blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.paulgraham.com/?referer=');">Paul Graham</a>, and <a href="http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog/" title="the blog of Timothy Ferris" target="blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog/?referer=');">Timothy Ferris</a>.  Reading these blogs and websites has provided me with insight about how blogs are monetized, keyword research, adword campaigns, and affiliate marketing.  Reading these websites I am continually discovering other sites like <a href="http://www.stompernet.net/goingnatural3/vid1_adwords_triangulation_method" title="Stomper Net's Adwords Triangulation Method" target="blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.stompernet.net/goingnatural3/vid1_adwords_triangulation_method?referer=');">Stomper Net</a> which has provided some of the most valuable nuts and bolts information.  </p>
<p>Almost any guru will tell you that the secret of being successful at work is to work at something you love and are passionate about.  One of the sayings goes <q>do something you love and you&#8217;ll never work a day of your life.</q>  My friend Colin Fithie says <q>pure job satisfaction is getting paid to do something that you would do for free.</q>  My friend <a href="http://www.kimberleybliquez.com/" title="Kimberly Bliquez' website" target="blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.kimberleybliquez.com/?referer=');">Kimberly Bliquez</a> actively pursues these concepts in her life and her TV show <a href="http://www.areellifeproduction.com/" title="A Reel Life Production website" target="blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.areellifeproduction.com/?referer=');">Living your Passion</a>.  </p>
<p>At the beginning of this year I decided that I was going to learn how to design websites, learn how to be an active web producer, and create a web income of at least $100 per day.  To date I have made great progress on learning web design, and being an active web producer.  Pulling together the elements necessary to create what is just a small web income of $100 per day has been elusive.  Part of the problem is figuring out what I am most passionate about.  There are a number of subjects of which I am interested and can talk passionately about.  There are a number of subjects of which I have deep information which I can talk passionately about.  It has been a paralyzing exercise in trying to decide which one I will focus on and talk passionately and in depth about.</p>
<p>My nephew, Sam Birdsong, proposed to me yesterday that I should not limit the subject of this blog, but open it up so that I might talk about the many subjects which grab my interest.  Ungrudgingly I have to accept this point.  From reading much of the above blogs the ones I enjoy the most seem to follow this format, and I can see the value of Sam&#8217;s advice.  </p>
<p>Here is a list of the blogs and resources that I&#8217;ve found helpful and interesting over the past few months:</p>

<p>I am continually discovering other sites which add small pieces of the puzzle to the big picture of web marketing and blogging.  Soon, hopefully, and with a lot of hard work I&#8217;ll achieve my goal of $100 per day.  Then I can shift it upwards to perhaps $1000 per day.  Wouldn&#8217;t that be something? </p>
