Most people, myself included, tend to have one internet marketing specialty whether it be SEO, Affiliate Marketing, PPC, Landing Page Optimisation or similar. However, it’s never too late to continue to improve your internet marketing skillset and become a better all-round marketer.

I always practice what I preach and have been working hard to improve my talent in other areas, most notably website creation & graphic design. With that in mind, I wanted this post to be a collection of resources to help you improve your skills in a certain area of this niche and share my own growth with it.

Five Sneaky Ways to Build Website Traffic

I don’t want this to sound like I think I’m above anyone else, but I’m probably part of a small majority of people who test out new ways to drive traffic to sites apart from common methods, unless you are of the blackhat sort. Although I would never put these into practice on a respected site, these are just some of my findings that I think you might find interesting.

Note: I don’t condone or respect anyone who uses these tactics, I think it’s just useful to know the types of things people may be doing. Similar to the fact that I try to mix myself with people who are performing ‘dodgy’ tactics to keep myself well rounded.

Learn to Work Smarter, Not Harder: Before it Kills You

You may find the title of this blog post a little dramatic, personally I think it could have more impact but I don’t want you to think I’m trying to pull off a ’social-friendly’ title without the content to back it up. Killing, or more appropriately, death, is used here not as the death of your physical form, but of your soul and who you are.

You probably didn’t notice that I was sent to hospital on Monday (I use Wordpress future post feature) and got out today, repeatedly reassuring everyone back home I’ll be fine.

Organise your Internet Business for Maximum Efficiency

This is the second post in the series about building your internet business empire where we have previously covered the strategy side of things. This time I’m going to take a look at organising yourself for maximum effectiveness and efficiency in your actions.

This is something I struggled with for quite a while, I would find it impossible to launch a website unless it was perfect or I would spend hours reading and responding to emails. At times I would even get too stressed and want to give up due to having two jobs. However, I’ve been through all that and dealt with it, hopefully you can learn from my experiences and what I have to share.

Interview with Fark Founder, Drew Curtis

When I wrote a post about the ‘Definitive Guide to Fark and Getting Mass Traffic‘, the last person I expected to comment on the post was the founder of the website itself. I emailed Drew in private to let him know that none of the traffic stats there were from spamming the site and nor was it encouraged, just to keep things on good terms.

I also asked if Drew would be interested in doing an interview and to my surprise, he seemed very keen to answer my questions so that’s what we have today. Following are some  pretty interesting stats and intelligent responses.
