- Brass BallsPublished: August 27, 2010Source: JustinMcClelland.comI thought everyone already knew about this tool, but I guess not…there are only a handful of products that I fully endorse…and this is one of them.

- Are YouTube Videos and Podcasting Worth the Effort?Published: August 27, 2010Source: The Smart Passive Income BlogLast year, I made a conscious decision to turn my growing Smart Passive Income blog into the Smart Passive Income brand.

- Block at a TimePublished: August 26, 2010Source: chrisbrogan.comEverything we do can be visualized in blocks. When Julien and I write, we figure out the larger shape of the book in small words.

- Oops. The Niche I Selected is Bad, and Here’s WhyPublished: August 20, 2010Source: The Smart Passive Income BlogBefore anything, I want to say this: I’m not an expert at niche sites.

Probate Monday: A little negotiating going on
This is going to be another busy week for sure. Even though the last letters I sent out where in the first week of August, my phone rang with a call from a lady who had been holding onto my letter since I mailed it back in January.
