A Magazine Style Plugin For Wordpress Posts

MarkDRussell — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 00:42:40 +0000

Admittedly, this plugin may be a bit frivolous since it’s just a simple plugin that adds a little special styling to your posts, and then again it might not be so meaningless. I have noticed that in the magazine and print world, this sort of technique is often used on the beginning [...]

Internet Sweatshops?

MarkDRussell — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 22:15:54 +0000

Perhaps more surprising is that most of you have probably already been suckered into one form or another of online sweatshop without realizing it. Don’t panic. I’m going to show you how this can work in your favor if you are aware of it and know how to take advantage of it, instead [...]

Favicon And .ICO Files With Photoshop

MarkDRussell — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 04:35:15 +0000

I don’t normally don’t create many .ico files and as for favicons, besides from trying a program called Microangelo a couple years ago that was more power than I needed for the occasional favicon, I’ve lately just been using Photoshop as usual to create the graphics, then a free online tool to change my .gif [...]

Marko’s Quest For The Ultimate Wordpress Theme

MarkDRussell — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 00:23:19 +0000

If it isn’t obvious by now, I’m a bit of a greenhorn to this blogging thing. The truth is I never had to blog exactly to make money online and I never used them for my sales or affiliate sites in the past, although I’ve made a lot of similar websites the hard way [...]

Clickbank “Thank You” Page Security with PHP

MarkDRussell — Wed, 14 May 2008 22:19:11 +0000

Clickbank provides some code samples for setting up your Clickbank sales site’s security (so only your customers can ever view your “thank-you page”). But they don’t offer any examples or support on how to implement it on your site. For this tutorial I’m using the PHP version of the Clickbank security script, exactly as it [...]

Specials

MarkDRussell — Wed, 14 May 2008 22:18:00 +0000

I know, I know… I said I’d be having some 24 or 48 hour specials for the release of my new software soon. The truth is that it was so much work getting everything created that I just had to take some time off to recharge my batteries. Plus, I’m taking classes at [...]

It’s The Internet, Stupid.

MarkDRussell — Sun, 04 May 2008 00:39:39 +0000

The weirdest thing has come to my attention lately and it’s just too ludicrous to believe. But, it seems many of you have been convinced by some wingnut that putting your digital products exclusively on CD or DVD is a good idea. At least that’s what I hear and I’ve now watched at least one [...]

How To Make Money With Clickbank

MarkDRussell — Sat, 03 May 2008 03:48:10 +0000

Sure, there are a plethora of affiliate clearinghouse and payment processor services to choose from in the online world. But, I’ve tried most of them and in my experience; none of them is quite as reliable and so perfectly simple and streamlined as Clickbank for either end of the spectrum. In this article I will [...]

Internet Business in a Nutshell Part 4: Info-Product Creation

MarkDRussell — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 21:30:45 +0000

Ok, so you’ve done your research, you’ve maybe started a few affiliate sales sites to test the waters and find out what most people in your target market seem to want with a passion. And, now you have ideas for information or software products that are just going to knock their socks off. So now [...]

The Emperor’s Tighty Whiteys And My New Theme

MarkDRussell — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 06:59:03 +0000

I just can’t do it anymore. I’ve had enough of pretending I like the emperor’s new boring white “clothes” (er.. website actually). I imagine that to any creative person like me, having a plain white business blog ( like the friends who encouraged and persuaded me into doing this said was the best thing to [...]
