Two of my friends that are stay at home dads have sold their companies for over $100 million in the last year.  One runs a weight loss community and another runs an advertising company.  This is not an anomaly and we’ll discuss why you’ll see more of this happening in the next few years.  Maybe you won’t be selling your business for that amount, but certainly a nice side income doing something you enjoy isn’t a bad outcome. And[…]

Donald Trump sold his name to an MLM company.  With a name like Donald Trump, you’d imagine it would be selling real estate investment guides, right?  Nope.  They’re peddling three products– a nutritional supplement called Custom Essentials, a weight loss product called Silhouette Solution, and an energy stimulant called QuikStik.  Donald Trump has about as much credibility selling dieting pills as Michael Jordan has selling underwear or William Shatner selling discount airline tickets. 
  
Today I got[…]

Have you seen ChatToText?  Sign up for $5.99 a month, which then allows you to enroll others at $5.99 a month.  The more folks you have under you, the more money you can make.  Get in on the ground floor now before it’s too late!  Why work your dull day job when you can be a ChatToText mogul raking in the millions, just like those people you see on late night infomercials (blonde[…]

“So what can we do about it?”
 
Use those 7 magic words whenever you hear unproductive complaining.  A little complaining here and there is not such a bad thing as it can be a nice way to vent when you really need to blow off steam.  But some people complain excessively.  They halt all productivity within themselves, and they spill over and disrupt everyone around them.  It’s up to you to either validate them or help them move[…]

Got your attention, didn’t I?  Well that line got my attention earlier today, when some guy sent me this email:   

“I noticed that you work in helping people get traffic from SEO and social media.  I used to work for a company that did mentoring to help people learn how to do that.  I have an opportunity that is really exciting and great.  I am only looking for one person to join my team.  I am looking for someone[…]

 
And no, I’m not talking about gift cards, sending “love”, or ordering flowers.
 
Given that Christmas is on Friday and that we’d need to get presents delivered by Wednesday or Thursday — one option to consider is Amazon Prime.  You get free 2nd day shipping and next day for only $3.95 on most items.  Plus, their turnaround is quite fast, so you could literally choose a $10 book (pop-up books are my favorite Christmas book to give), deposit them in your cart this afternoon (Monday) and it[…]

A quick primer on SendOutCards.com: It is a MLM scheme, like many other MLM schemes.  It just happens to be one of the newest, and it’s popular with stay at home parents who can’t work outside their homes. The idea is that you can send greeting cards to friends, family, coworkers and whoever without ever going to the store to buy a card; you just type the message into a form[…]

I spend hours a day tending my virtual farm.  I’m at level 21, have 51,815 in cash, and am ahead of most of my friends.  I squeeze out every little bit of optimization from my farm, like a maniac.  But why work so hard in a video game instead of making real cash in the real world to spend with real friends?
 
The answer is simple– because it’s fun.
 
How many of you stay at home dads[…]

The Federal Trade Commission requires that MLM companies provide an Income Disclosure document. If they don’t have one readily available or it sounds too good to be true, run in the opposite direction as fast as possible. Let’s do the math on SendOutCards, which is the latest MLM company to gain widespread attention, especially among stay-at-home parents. We’ll compare how it’s different than the affiliate model and local model.

Ok, did I get your attention?  Good, since that’s what good social media does.  It draws you in emotionally with a provocative headline, just like a well-written ad.  Mommy bloggers commit fouls by blogging about poop– all kinds of poop.  Not interesting– any more than the folks who tweet about what they just ate.  Neither end of the alimentary canal is worth writing about.
 
The trouble with social media is that everyone can now get on and piss[…]
