Then I found out Blog Explosion rejected this blog because they do not accept 'business opportunity' sites. My response after deleting them from my email subscription list: E.S. and die! They aren't that important to my life or my business to sweat it.
Blogger sleeps with Google - if it doesn't bother Blogger and Google that small business owners come here to learn about new business ideas or find tools that can help them build their small business using information they find on the internet, then as far as I'm concerned - Blog Explosion can go suck eggs!
Now to more interesting things. For those of you who remember a $24 membership site I told you about a couple weeks ago? It was not worth $24. Nearly everything in the 'members area' was old junk I picked up online for free over the past 2 years.
I am looking at another site that shows promise, a bit steeper at $67 a month and appears to be worth the investment! Just the software they have is something I can use over the next month or so in my business. Of course I became an affiliate too! My primary business model for 2006 is affiliate marketing.
Some of you are going to get your drawers in a bunch over my telling you about a site, product or service that I've joined as an affiliate and say "That's so not fair."
Let me give you a reality check: When was the last time you went to a store or bought anything for that matter and the sales staff didn't get paid? Ask your ISP for free high-speed internet service and see how far you get! Trust me, they are not into the poverty thing. That's why it's called commerce and not welfare.
That's it for today and I'll leave you with this
