How To Start A Blog In 7 Easy Steps

by Mark Mason on October 19, 2011

How To Start A BlogTime and time again I am approached by people that learn about my interest in internet marketing and want to know "how to start a blog".  Usually, they are just looking for a basic how-to guide that will help them get started.  The problem is that when they search the internet for information, they are overwhelmed with a bunch of details that don't really matter when you are just trying to take those first few steps.

ONP: Affiliate Marketing Overview (A.K.A. Math)

by Mark Mason on August 26, 2011

Affiliate Marketing Overview Well, this is supposed to be a Thursday update, but it's Friday (you knew that).  The real honest truth is that I fell asleep on the couch last night.  That happens some times.  I made the mistake of watching Burn Notice (I really like that show - and the episode was really good).  Problem is, I never got up.  Television and part-time internet business don't mix very well, but that is a whole other series of blog posts about staying motivated in your internet business.

By the way, if you missed it, you can check out an overview video that I made on YouTube.  I have included it below.

I have also created an Open Niche Project Home Page where we can keep track of our progress.

You see, our conversation was about owl vomit.  Well, not owl [...]
