Barack Obama is now the President of the United States of America and I’m proud to say so. This morning I was shooting some emails back and forth with some buddies that I am high school friends with- many of which are John McCain supporters. Long story short, I told them “Let’s give this dude a shot and not complain about “what could have been” with McCain because he’s not going to be running this country. Yes, most people on this lists’ parents are going to get increased taxes and that blows, however, a family of 5 living in Alabama on $35,000 annual income can use a $3,000 tax break a lot more than saving big companies and the rich 6-figures. Is it fair? No. But since taxes must be levied that’s the way it should go.
They replied with the fact that ALL people’s taxes would be increased with Barack Obama in the Whitehouse. Please take a look at the form below and see for yourself if your tax rate will increase or decrease with Barack Obama, I think you already know the answer :).
“We hold these truths to be self evident. That all men are created equal. That they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights. And among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. That is the true genius of America.” -Barack Obama
I am sad to announce that I have not registered to vote and will not be able to do so this coming election. For whatever reason I did not make this a priority in my life and now, more than ever, I wish I had. Luckily I reside in California and we like Senator Obama so I am covered. But that’s a lame, half-ass excuse and I’m not gonna go down that path. Long story short, I will be registered to vote this coming week and you should do the same.
I did, however, buy a ‘Barack, Paper, Scissors’ T-shirt from ObamaTee.com. The t-shirt is real solid, printed on American Apparel cotton tees made right here in the United States of America.

If you liked the ‘Barack, Paper, Scissors’ T-shirt than you will more than likely enjoy the selection of t-shirts over at PrimoTees.com. They are the company who created ObamaTee.com.
For 162 games of the year you allowed me to catch my Cubbies highlights and see all of the stomach wrenching action live on demand. Carlos Zambrano’s no-hitter was so well documented on your site. I probably watched it 20 times and would tingle everytime as if it was my first time seeing it. You gave me that. We had a connection, my senses were invoked by what your site had to offer about my team- my world. Now I try to see the most ridiculous comeback in MLB playoff history on your website but find that you have hidden all your highlight links from both your MLB.com homepage but also the RedSox.MLB.com page. If you find one, you are urged to purchase MLB.tv so you can see something that was meant for the world to be in awe of.
No, I’m not signing up for your MLB.tv to be able to watch at most 8 more playoff games this season. No, I don’t care if it’s a “good deal” because let’s be honest- it’s not. You should be encouraging people to check out MLB.com and MLB.tv for all the highlights they missed, because for now I’m just going to go to YouTube and watch it anyways. Oh and the best part? You can’t do a thing about it.
F your A.
Michael Phelps was all the craze during the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. About 20 minutes before his Olympic Gold Record setting race I purchased OlympicGoldRecord.com. To be honest, I was extremely surprised that that domain was available and I was quick to snatch it up. I installed Wordpress and started posting some articles related to the Olympics, Michael Phelps, and Olympic Gold Records. Within 24 hours I was receiving decent organic search engine traffic for various keywords I was going after. But the real power of Web 2.0 traffic was soon to be discovered.
I searched the web for anything and everything related to Michael Phelps and came to this post on Amazon Askville. First thing I did was create a post on Olympic Gold Record that featured what the question was inquiring about and named the post accordingly. Check out the post here. Next, I went back to Askville and simply answered the original question as a normal web surfer would and provided a link to my site. To my surprise, I started getting some really decent, high quality traffic.
This is the first site I have created with the specific intention of helping others as compared to making myself money. It is crazy to think about how far I have come in so many facets of being a successful internet marketer and webmaster over the past 18 months. It took me 19 days to make my first sale and I will never forget the sense of accomplishment I felt. All of my hard work- the hours and hours of sleepless nights spent lurking forums and blogs trying to figure this internet game out, was validated with that first sale. From there a sale every couple of weeks turned into a couple of sales a week which turned into daily sales and so on. Why was my success fast-tracked online? Because of the people that I have been fortunate enough to work with have shared their secrets, and now after 2 years of silence, I’m sharing mine with the world.
