My wishlist for iSlate

I thought Apple will comeout with a sexy iSlate, instead it came out with an ebook reader iPad. Man even the name sucks.
Anyway here is my wishlist for the next generation iSlate.
1.    Should have a small detachable keyboard (Just basic keys like we get in qwerty keyboards of smartphones.
2.    Should be able to work in LAN, wireless and all other possible Internet / data transfer connections.
3.    Should be an open system.
4.    Must provide connectivity to other systems when connected in a Network.
5.    Should provide support to some wireless data backup device.
6.    Should be able to read any SIM so that if required, it can even work as very smart phone
7.    Less all attachments should work like an ebook reader. Must have facility like e-ink for easy ebook reading. Seamless integration with all online Book Stores.
8.    Seamless integration with all Media files.
9.    Obviously will have a camera that can be used to take images/ record videos and also can be used as webcam.
10.   Touchscreen with support of Wireless Mouse ( I should be able to use iSlate while drinking / having snacks without worrying that it will spoil the screen).

11. Interface to watch TV on the move.

12. Obviously all other regular featured that iDork offers.

Shoemoney system review

Today Shoemoney has launched its system with lot of fan fare. Below is my honest review to SHoemoney system.

First off unlike many other IMs (including Barry) I am not a shoemoney whore. Agreed the guy has X factor and maybe he is numero uno Internet Marketer in current Internet world, however there are few things about him that really tick me off.

Having said that, every year we start at least one projects based upon things discussed by shoemoney and we always make more than 100 K by scaling that project. Indeed he doesn’t talk something very innovative, but he is the guy who speaks the language of experience. I personally have been always a very good follower. I never made much money reading other so called net marketers, however with Shoemoney I always made money for simple reason, he writes the language of experience.

So when Shoemoney started the Shoemoney system, it was time for me to get excited. I know for sure that our next big idea will come out of this system.

The system is available for $197 per month subscription. The price is a bit steep for most of the net marketer.  I personally have no issues paying $197 a month as this will guarantee that not all Tom Dick Harry can join and kill a money making technique by doing it incorrectly.

Good thing is he is limiting total number of people to just 500. That is a very wise move. This will ensure some exclusivity.

What to expect?
Do not expect anything out of blue moon. Most of the people who can spend $197 a month, already know all money making techniques. However as I previously mentioned, with shoe he is the guy who shows the way how he really made the money and by my past experience when I did the same I also made the money.  It is very unlike other SEO gurus who will talk all the basic techniques and when you do the way it is written on their blog, you end up making $2 a day.

Currently there are just 2 videos. One that we already had seen and the other is also very basic video for creating google account. However it is just the beginning and I have very high hopes with this system.

Tiger Woods Car Crash is a big hit on twitter trending topics……

The same day Tiger Woods ghost ride his whip into a fire hydrogen AND a pole just a few feet from his house, the news of that story caught fire on twitter trending topics and in 1 hours there was over 50,000 twit’s about the topic making it one of the top trending topics I have ever seen.

Twitter’s Trending topics has a lot of potential to grow as its a cool feature and with alittle imagination, it could be something special.

Another cool thing about twitter’s trending topic is its a great place to find and friend people with the same interest as you. For example, if you love watching “The Hills”, all you have to do is just do a search for “the hils” and start up a convo with people who are talking about The hils there.

Twitter, what a phenomenon………………

The Death Clock is running out of time for Twitter.

Twitter will either sellout or simple be replaced in the coming year or so. Why, well for one thing they have no viable Business model to speak of and for another it would be a simple thing for one of the big 3 search engines or facebook to simply create there own bigger better twitter and sign up all there current subscribers to it.

Who would benefit from doing this the most? I would say BING.com. bing has made it clear that they want a big share of the search biz and creating there own twitter and releasing it on everything microsoft related would be a killer blow for twitter.

Facebook on the other hand would be a perfect fit for what they already have going ( the biggest social media website in the world).

Yahoo…..its to late for yahoo, they are toast in more ways then one plus they shipped off there search to bing.com.

GOOGLE…… if google ever makes there own twitter (which you can bet they are working on rightnow) it will be all over with. it would be like everytime you turn on your pc you will see google/twitter/adsense in one shape or form (Yuck).

In closing, my advice to twitter is to make a deal with bing.com and head for the hills….Beverly hills that is :) .

Don’t even think about using the no-follow on your navagational pages to save link juice

Good’ol Google has out done them self’s this time with handing out bitch slaps for anyone who DARE place a non-follow on any of there navigational links within your website. first the link condom, how long before I go to bed just to find then there giving me instructions on how to “proceed” in a white hat way;).

It has become so clear that google is trying everything they can to trip up seo’s so that they we have to use there AdWords product order to stay in the game. Max at Saigon seo explains it so much better then me as he seems to have a real handle on it. Bottom line, don’t piss off the google beast

11 reason’s why failing is a good thing

Failing, flaming out, going bust, belly-up, washed out, broke-busted and can’t be trusted….All of these things a “GOOD” for a entrepreneur, CEO, COO, SEO or anyone who has the power to make or brake a company. Here are my 11 reason why I feel this way.

1. Failure brings out your true character. If you crumble when things go bad, you win never be able to handle the pressure if things go great.

2. Failing MAKES you think on your feet at all times. When things are good, sometimes we get lazy and stop thinking on your feet but when you are in a “fucked company” and you are the Head man in charge, you are forced to think on your feet at all times.

3. Failing teaches you how to better respect your time and money. When you are operating a “fucked Company” the two things you have least of is time and money and once they are gone, all you can think about is how you could have spend, saved, and used your time and money better.

4. After failing you know soooo much more then when you started out. Before I started a company I had no clue as to how to run one. Now that I have many years of experience as a Part Owner/COO I know a lot of the right people, I know a ton of ways to save money and when it comes to talking with other company owners in my industry, I have a long track record of experience to pull from.

5. Spotting bullshitters and timewasters becomes easier. When you are new to running your own company you will try anything to get people on board just so you have reference’s to bring in bigger game. In doing so most likely you will make bad deals and get screwed out of money owed to you because you are so eager to make “any deal” happen.

6. After failing you have zero tolerance for workers pissing away time during work hours. The one thing that will always be true for business owners is that workers don’t care if a company does well, they only care about keeping there job. Knowing this now from experience, I am always on the lookout for workers who are harming my business by not giving all they can to get the job at hand done.

7. After failing in biz, its amazing how you watch your budget tighter. Really we need to look no future then the first Internet bobble bursting to see too many example’s of companies not spending there money correctly.

8. Not to be a Dick but you learn how to let people go and at the right time. On my first go, me AND my business partner had so much trouble trying to let go people who we really no longer needed. As a result of letting people stay on WAAAAY longer then they should have, it really hurt our bottom line as a company.

9. When doing well, don’t just kick your feet up and check your stats every hour as this can lead to failure. This can be a fatal blow if done for too long. In business, always be looking for another deal or even another biz model if you have maxed out your current one.

10. Failing actually give you self confidence. After failing you can look back on the things you did right and the things you did wrong and move on to do bigger and better things now that you know what works and what to avoid (something you had no clue of when you first started out).

11. Because you got in the game. There is nothing like hands on experience and you can only get this by running your own biz. A Lot of people will sit on the sidelines judging you but unless they are or have ran there own biz, they can’t tell you shit:)…….

The new twitter song “Hit me on twitter”

Facebook name landgrab, did you get the name you always wanted?

I grabbed http://www.facebook.com/linkbuilding at like 9:01 PST last night and I am over joyed. What name did you go for? did you play it safe and get your own name or nickname or did you go for a vanity name? I think either way is kool besides, why brand facebook.com/yourname when you can just brand yourname.com.

7 things to avoid when approching potental clients

1. When trying to reach a potential client, don’t over call if you can’t reach him. Clients can see when you call and a lot of times are there when you call but don’t wish to speak with you at said time. If you call back 10 times in a day well, that’s a bad look.

2. Not everyone is going to sign on with you right away. If you are listening to said client a lot of times they will tell you just what there concern is. Address that concern with them then try to “open the deal” if they still won’t sign right then then ask them what time next week would be best for you to call that way they can think it over and let you know then.

3. Don’t take any shit from a potential client. A Lot of times people will try to empty there past problems on you (like you did it) simply tell them that that was not your company that screwed them in the past and keep going with your pitch. If they keep bringing it up then “Cut bait” and move on to the next potential client as you will never get anywhere trying to argue your way into a deal.

4.  Don’t be scared to speak with the owner or the CEO. People are people and when you speak with a person you need to be as calm and cool, as if you were  speaking with your best friend.

5. If you don’t really know the potential client, don’t act like you go way back. For example, don’t say shit like “whats up player, i see you out there doing your thing and I just wanted to see how I can be down with you”. Speak clearly and respectfully at all times. Jokes are for a night out with a current client, not for potential one’s.

6. Being under prepared. you might think that you have the perfect potential client and all you need to do is show him a pen and where to sign. Be prepared when he starts asking you in detailed question as saying “i don’t know or I’ll get back to you” just won’t do.

7. Don’t let the potential client keep stringing you along. At some point you need to either  ”open a deal” or “Cut bait” its that simple.
