Here are some of my latest pictures. You can see what the kids wore for halloween. Lainie and Sophie were Asian Princesses. I picked up their costumes in Tokyo on a trip to the Philippines last year. Griffin is a Lego. He was so proud of that costume. The picture with me and Griffin was from our trip to Atlanta when we saw Stone Mountain.

Last weekend my wife (Amy) and I traveled to Vegas. It was for a multipurpose trip. The main reason for the trip was that I spoke at a seminar.

What’s cool about this trip is that it happened to fall on the weekend of my Birthday. Just out of coincidence this was the third year in a row that I’ve been to Vegas on my Birthday. I guess it’s a great time to have a seminar in Vegas. All 3 years I was either speaking or attending a seminar.

The big difference this year was that I ran in the Las Vegas Marathon. I had a great time.

My legs are still sore but I’m already thinking about the next marathon that I’ll run in. I guess for some odd reason most people that run marathons end up wanting to do them again.

This was my second Full Marathon. I had quite the painful experience the first time around. This one was much more enjoyable. You can take a look at my stats below…

This one is quite a bit different from the desktop applications we’ve released in the past. It’s an online
solution.

If you’re using videos on your website now, you’ll definitely want to see what this one is all about.

We’ve been working on a system that can transform your site into a membership site.

This is a great solution if you want to protect who sees your videos or any other content for that matter.

It’s completely different from just about everything else we’ve built in the past.

We quietly released this to the public and are already getting some amazing feedback from the customers that are using it every day.

Take a look at it now:

“So, What do you do?”

Immediately my mind starts going into a race thinking, “Oh man, here we go again”. I’m going to spend 30 minutes trying to explain what I do to someone and at the end of it all they’ll say they still “Just don’t get it”.

After this happens enough, you begin to realize that you’ve got to craft something into a way that people will understand and something that people have heard of before.

The easy answer is, “I’m a software developer”.

Typical Reply, “Oh, you’re a computer programmer”.

Natural response, “No, I’m a developer. I have the software developed by other programmers and then I sell it to the people who use it.”

Now is where it starts getting tricky. Most people that have any interest whatsoever want to know how I sell it. That’s where it can become complicated to explain the whole process.

The real answer is that I’m an Internet Marketer. I market things for people to buy on the internet. My specialty in that area is selling software.

If we get into a real conversation that goes beyone the formalities, most people want to know how I learned all this. Sometimes it’s hard to even remember really.

When I really think back to when I first started, I am overcome with anxiety.

The problem is, I knew it could be done but I had no idea how it could be done.

I started doing research and then trying to reinvent everything on my own. I wasted so much time that really never amounted to anything. Finally, I found a better way. It’s really quite simple.

I decided to start watching what other people were doing that were already making it work. I looked around and found out who had a system that I could duplicate.

I found Armand Morin. I was so naive, Armand was doing well selling software online when I met him. I actually thought he must be some super smart computer programmer. It didn’t even cross my mind that he was a marketing genius.

My next step was to purchase a course from Armand Morin about how to develop software products. It was literally some of the best money I have ever spent in my entire life.

It’s been a while since I took that course and things have changed a lot since then. Much of the information he taught me way back then is still just as useful as it was at the time I learned it. However, a good bit of it is completely irrelevant. In fact, he doesn’t even offer that course any longer.

Now, Armand Morin teaches the latest marketing techniques and strategies in a new course every single month. It’s called Marketing Tutorials.

If you’ve ever thought you wanted to learn how to make money on the internet, this is the course for you. Each month he creates new video tutorials about how to market online.

My life became so much more simple when I could learn from others that had already done what I wanted to do. Armand Morin’s Marketing Tutorials are definitely something that I highly recommend!

I’ve been taking a totally different direction on sites lately. I’m moving just about everything that I can over to WordPress. It was originally created to be a blog. Now it has gotten so powerful that you can use it to run your entire site. I’m completely impressed.
