Am I eager to work for myself from home fulltime? Uhhhh duh! I’ll get there someday.

I look forward to your changes arriving soon here.

Besides, dreams are made and accomplished on your own; not under some ‘corporate structure’ with set guidelines and rules to contain your abilities.

Looking forward to seeing the new design.

I’m glad that you’ve come to a decision that you feel is best for you and your family. And of course, for my own selfish reasons I’m glad you’ve decided to keep up the blog.

You’ve helped me a lot already.
Thank you,
Sine

Hey Nick,

Actively talking in RJ and Warrior. Used to post a lot in Self Starters Weekly Tips but mainly a lurker. Just got back to Blackhat world, so getting situated there. A lurker in the CB success forum and just recently joined up at Wicked Fire after a lot of lurking.

A member of Forumdotcom.com, Syndk8, and a Moderator over at Spacehogs. Just recently joined Digital Point as well. I’m a member of a bunch of others, but the lack of participation would probably not warrant or consider me being a member.

Umm the blog widget? Honestly man, I was sitting here playing some Halo2 on Xbox live that night man. My oldest son was having fits and was just kicking it in the upstairs office with me. I cruised over to Reese’s blog and saw people waiting around. After a few games I refreshed and saw he was offering a copy of Traffic Secrets 2. I was curious as I am going to get it free anyway, why not legit right? :)

You can go tell from the comments that it looked like I was in the top 10 as 2 of the comments were irrevelant to the contest and one of them was Frank Kern himself. So basically, I put the widget up to win, and I didn’t. In all honesty, I have not even thought about it since.

I don’t want to dog it because the idea is sound and what he is trying to accomplish is pretty cool, but from a traffic standpoint, I could really take a shit on this with horrible rants, as I feel it’s not going to make a significant impact. Besides, it looks like shit on my pasty blog, so either it had better blend in later or it’s going to the curb :)

I was even started to think that your new job has taken you away from online business.

As far as the blog change is involved i do not know if this is the time to turn it into a forum. I think we can share some ideas even through blog comments for the moment.

I have noticed the blogrush widget on your blog. I am sorry to say that at the moment the system is so vulnerable that it can be easily gamed. I guess you know this too. If you put it in the hopes of gaining traffic and visitors, then it is useless. If you want your blog to get famous, then you better write a good article (or choose one from the previous posts) and digg it, post it to digital point, stumble it or let other digg it till it reaches the first page. I guess that more than half of the so called Internet marketers who will come from digg will bookmark and remember your blog due to its quality.
Seeing the huge crowd hungry for making money online and the knowledge you have and share, i would say that it is just a matter of time till you will have comparable traffic with problogger or shoemoney, especially if you are good at showing some screenshots. :D
Unfortunately, in this way and with this traffic any trick you will expose will become useless in a quarter of hour, lol.

You said you are an active member of a number of forums, can you tell us which are those?
Just curious.

As for the “networking,” that’s what blog comments are for, right?

Anxiously awaiting “the change.” ;)

feel free to tear apart any weiners that screw around, you’re a hard worker and an ingenius marketer bro

just kidding, good for you ruck, lets see what you have tucked up your long white sleeves!! (See photo above)
