I get asked a lot for my thoughts on Social Media Marketing. So…I've decided to let Gregg start making some videos to post our thoughts on online marketing. 

This is the first of many to come.

I know… there is a banner ad on the home page of this site and that is the worst thing you can do to a site that you are trying to make a living with.

But I wanted to do a little testing and that was the easiest way for me to do it. I will be testing a lot of different things throughout this month and one of the things I wanted to test was banner ads.

I wanted to see how many clicks an ad would get if a site was getting around 2,000 unique visitors per day. I just placed the ads on the site and will leave them a couple days to see how it works out. I also want to see the affect it has on my current site. Will people stop buying from me because of the banner ad?

I spent the day watching videos on http://www.nextinternetmillionaire.com. These guys are being trained by the internet gurus. Guys that are already millionaires, due to the internet.

Everyone in the contest is native English speaking and well educated. But I was a little disappointed in the amount of traffic they were able to get to a website in an eight hour period. I really felt that they should have been able to get more traffic to the site than they did.

I might be wrong but I honestly feel I can get more than 100 unique visitors to a site in an eight hour period.

In the contest they were split up into groups of 2, they have been taught by the internet gurus and they were all native English speakers.

I am solo, non-English speaking and self-taught. But I can do better than that.

I also need a new design for the site. I have some really great designers but rather than letting them run wild with the site design, I want to lead them in the direction I want them to go. I will spend the next couple hours looking around online for ideas as well as putting some of my own ideas on paper.

I really want something special for the site that will let me stand out from the crowd.

I have the name but the hosting is no good. The problem with the hosting is that it is hosted in the U.S and I want to get business here in Colombia. Google uses the location of the hosting company to determine the correct location of the site.
Another words…I will rank well in the U.S but will not show up at all in the search results for Colombia. I need to find a hosting company here in Colombia.
