It doesn't seem that long ago that forty-eight people made the journey to Denver for our exclusive 3-day live seminar, Elevate. For those three days, our guests had the privilege of learning how to build a successful online business from me and my team. It was a top-notch event packed with first-rate content.

You are probably catching on to the fact that I am not promoting many products these days. That's because most products and services coming out are not worth promoting.

What we found is that our office has some universal solutions, and then seemed to split departmentally. So... Continue Reading

(Written by guest contributor Andrew Albritton) There are thousands of advertisers looking for good-fit publishers to not just promote but successfully generate leads and sales on a pay-for-performance basis. Unfortunately for the advertisers, they are outnumbered by publishers actively generating considerable commissions. Not unlike The Dating Game, attracting and successfully courting top publishers is not as easy as it sounds. In working with many advertisers on a regular basis and being approached by many more...

Maintaining flexibility is cliché (and usually overstated) and in my opinion rarely defined in a specific context.
