Time for a Change

Posted on February 3, 2011 3:04 AM

"To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven." - Ecclesiastes 3:1 Nothing lasts forever. Change is inevitable. Over the past fifteen or so years I have created dozens of websites, products, services and applications that run the gamut of new media. Content sites, information products, member sites, web-based software, iPhone applications, mobile marketing platforms, entertainment sites and more. During that time I have had some tremendous successes and some... Continue Reading

FleetMaster Races Up the International Game Center Charts

Posted on October 6, 2010 2:22 PM

Last year my company released a revolutionary new platform for the iPhone. It was called GameDock, and it was the world's first multiplayer gaming platform for the iPhone and iPod Touch. While OpenFeint and Plus+ were creating leaderboards and achievement functionality, we had done what no other developer had done... created a matching system that would allow you to add friends and invite them to play our games in real time from anywhere in the...

25 Computer Games That Rocked My World

Posted on July 2, 2010 11:10 AM

I've been a computer gamer since the dawn of the home computer. I bought a TRS-80 Model I computer in 1980. At 16-years old, I gathered my hard-earned cash (from working at the mall food court) and spent it all on what was the bleeding edge of home computing technology. This computer had 4K of smokin' hot RAM. The storage device was a radio shack cassette tape player. Oh, yeah. We're talking hot stuff. Anyhow... Continue Reading

Social Media Keynote Speaker and New Media Marketing Strategist

Posted on March 13, 2010 3:47 PM

Many people discover me for the first time through any number of products or services. For some it is my iPhone applications. For others it is my book on making money with Google, The AdSense Code. Then there are those who know me from my sites that focus on affiliate marketing. Still others first found me through my social media presence or books (eg: Twitter Power). Whenever I speak from the stage, people are always... Continue Reading

Your Next Business Idea

Posted on February 15, 2010 9:00 AM

A lot of people were surprised when I brought out iFart. Until then, I was best known as an AdSense expert. I'd written a book that explained how to make money out of content by putting Google's ads next to them. It was serious stuff with serious results, but it took serious effort to make it work. So I follow that up with... an electronic whoopee cushion? Continue Reading

GameDock - Multiplayer iPhone Gaming is Here

Posted on December 19, 2009 11:52 AM

After many months of development and then working through the Apple iTunes AppStore approval process, I'm pleased to announce that our new app is finally available. GameDock is the world's first true lobby-style multiplayer gaming platform for iPhone and iPod Touch. If you have an iPhone, you'll be able to play with anyone anywhere in the world on Edge, 3G or Wifi (not just local!). If you have an iPod, you'll need to be on... Continue Reading

GameDock - Coming Soon to the iTunes App Store

Posted on December 7, 2009 7:58 PM

Multiplayer gaming on the iPhone has been one of the most requested features. To date, a few developers have created multiplayer gaming for local area network and bluetooth phones, but none have really developed a lobby-style platform that people from all over the world can play on standard wireless phone networks. That is getting ready to change! Check out the new teaser video for our upcoming release, GameDock. Continue Reading

What Will You Learn Today?

Posted on December 7, 2009 8:00 AM

I have no idea what I'm doing. I know, I'm supposed to be the expert, right? I'm the guy who wrote a best-selling book on earning money with AdSense, and another top-seller on Twitter. I've built a gaming site that was sold to Yahoo! and put together content sites that each deliver five-figure incomes in advertising revenue. If I don't know what I'm doing, who does?

When Should You Stop?

Posted on November 24, 2009 8:00 AM

When I created my first website, I had no idea where it was going to take me. I really did believe that it was possible to create a regular income online - even without any programming skills - but I didn't have an end goal. I wasn't planning to sell out within a few years, swap my sites for a big bag of cash and head off to Hawaii for the rest of my life... Continue Reading

Last holiday season, iFart took the world by storm. It has gone on to become one of the most frequently mentioned iPhone apps in the world. Our team was among the first to develop...

Users Don't All Want The Same Thing

Posted on July 7, 2009 8:00 AM

What do users really want? It's a question that publishers ask themselves all the time. We look at the comments our articles receive. We review our stats. We check the popularity of keywords. We ask for ideas on Twitter. And we do all sorts of other things that try to second-guess what's going through our users' minds so that we can deliver content that interests them most. But maybe we're asking the wrong question. Continue Reading

What in the World is Joel Playing?

Posted on January 15, 2008 8:06 AM

I make no secret of it. I am a 43-year old man who loves playing computer and video games. And why not? I was a teenage when Space Invaders, Asteroids and Centipede took over the arcades. I was sixteen when I bought my first computer, a TRS-80. It was great for primitive gaming. And I've got a great collection of old computer software in a special room in my basement. Perhaps I'll do a video... Continue Reading

Facebook - Facebook - Facebook

Posted on September 4, 2007 4:05 PM

Facebook. The first time I heard about this site had to be over a year ago. I was told it was a social networking site for college students, so I didn't give it much of a look. After all, I've been out of college for many years. (I won't tell you how many!) But about a month or so ago I started receiving invitations to use facebook from some friends and associates of mine. Hmmm... Continue Reading

Sony PSP

Posted on April 12, 2006 7:21 PM

I did it. I bit the PSP bullet and forked over my cash to Sony. I've been playing video games and computer games ever since there was such a beast. I remember when Pong first arrived on the scene. I owned a Fairchild Channel One video game system (the failed precursor to the Atari home video game system that sold millions of units). I've owned Nintendos, Playstations, XBox's and who knows what else. It was... Continue Reading
