A Quick Update

Matt — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 13:22:22 +0000

So,

what has happened in the last few weeks/months? I’ve been to Vegas for 12 days (where I attended the RSD summit and helped out on bootcamps) which was a very intense experience. One that taught me a lot about myself. It’s hard to describe what exactly I learned but I know that I’ve learned quite a bit.

I met some very cool people, made new friends and saw old ones again. I enjoyed hanging out with the rest of the RSD crew. It felt like I’ve found my people. People that are like-minded and very cool and a lot of fun. I’m kinda sad that almost everybody lives in the United States of America and not many in Europe, but I guess that just means that I’ll be traveling a lot in my life.

I’ve spent some time in LA before I went to Vegas and it reminded me just how much I enjoy being in that city. It truly feels like a place where I could live for a few years, if not forever.

I’ve taken a hit in my Internet Marketing endeavors but I’m determined to bounce back and make some serious cash . Also one of the RSD guys I’ve met is doing some serious work and makes quite a bit of money.

Being back in Zurich is quite interesting, over this past half a year a lot of stuff has happened in my life and I don’t feel that it is going to stop anytime soon, I guess that’s what being grown up is all about. I’ll see what the future brings.

That’s it for now, just kinda stream of consciousness post I know but what the heck ..

P.S.: I’m not sure if I should continue writing in English or if I should start writing in German?!

New Design and AdSense

Matt — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 10:46:11 +0000

As all of you can see I have a new design, it’s not final but I like it better then the old one. One thing that I think is somewhat funny is that all those guys doing WordPress themes always put a ton of their affiliate pages in there. I wouldn’t mind a backlink to their site but a thousand links to an online pharmacy? Come on!

I also signed up for Google AdSense and got approved so I guess I can start throwing AdSense on my blogs I’m not sure if I want to put it here on my personal blog and where I want to put it. Well, I’m thinking about putting the leader board that Google provides in the upper right corner. It would look something like this:

Any input on the matter is greatly appreciated since I’ve never used AdSense before.

On another note my german sites start picking up seo traffic which is great. I think I’ve been a fool of not taking advantage of my german skills and only focusing on the American market, when it’s so much easier to rank for ultra competitive terms, also I guess the keywords are going to be cheaper.

That’s it for now..

How to promote E-mail submits by Wotogepa

Matt — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 13:45:22 +0000

So after I finished my Linkwheel I felt kinda lost and not really knowing what to do next apart from building backlinks to my sites, which I’m still doing, but SEO is so slow (haha rhyme, rhyme) and it takes a while to see results, but luckily I got an email from Wotogepa about promoting E-mail submits on Adbrite. They sent me two youtube videos in which PPC Coach tells you exactly how to do it.

So here they are for you to watch:

As you see it’s really not that difficult at all. By the way if you don’t have a Wotogepa account at the moment you can use my link to sign up with their network and try your luck at E-mail submits.

That’s all for now..

An update..

Matt — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 18:11:53 +0000

So,

I reinstalled Windows on my roommates laptop today. Was a pain in the ass! I love my MacBook Air . Anyways because Windows was taking forever to install I was able to work while installing that shit. I added some sites to my debt network. Hopefully, they start getting up in the rankings and I will be able to start earning some cash, seo is different from PPC but I almost think it’s more fun, well and google kinda banned one of my accounts. No fun!

On a personal note had an ex-student of mine stay at my place this weekend was a lot of fun and he is just a cool guy to hang out with. So if you ever go to Innsbruck, Austria beware of Alex, he is probably going to steal your girl .

Also I went to take my photo taken for my new/old passport so I’ll be able to go to Vegas to the RSD summit, it’s going to be glorious. I’m going to stay with a buddy from Stockholm, oh I can’t wait.

That’s all so far, going to build a few backlinks now to my new sites and see what happens.

See ya all…

Roleplays: A HowTo

Matt — Sat, 18 Jul 2009 19:13:24 +0000

Okay, first we need some Brittney up in this bitch:

So now this is taken care of, prepare to get some knowledge forced into your brains. Hanging out with Brad in Amsterdam right now and whilst on seminar today I realised how much I love roleplays and how good I am at this shit , so I’m telling you guys how to become the knight on a white horse you always wanted to be.

So, why would you wanna do roleplays? Simple, if you don’t have a clue what to talk about: do a roleplay, if you don’t know how to turn stuff sexual: do a roleplay, if you like chicken wings: do a roleplay. Seriously, roleplays are potent shit, they allow for you to talk about the craziest shit in a ‘safe’ environment. While you may not be able to talk about group sex involving anal in a normal convo, during a roleplay you can.

“Okay Matt, but how do I initiate a roleplay?” you might ask, the answer is simple. The basic structure is “We should X…” or “Let’s X” where as for X you can insert almost anything you want. Good stuff that works easily is building a business mixed with crime or doing an activity together. For example “We should start robbing banks and help the poor, kinda like a modern robin hood” or “Let’s start a sex slave business” of course the options are limitless. With this structure you should never run out of stuff to say anymore. Just insert the first thing that pops in your head for X and you are good to go.

For the roleplay itself, try to make it interactive, creative, sexual and emotional. The more emotions you can stuff in there the better, try to take her on a mental adventure. So for example she tells you about her interest in tomatoes -> “We should become tomato farmers and live by the sea near a secluded beach, where we could have sex in the wild, run around naked all the time, but then the evil tomato mafia would try to steal our tomatoes and we’d have to fight ninjas and then they’d send female models so I’d cheat on you so you’d leave me but I would make it up to you buy killing a gremlin and serving you his guts for dinner.”

As you can see you can jump around as much as you want, the more irrational and emotional the better, it keeps them on their toes and they’ll be reacting to you instead of you reacting to them. If you don’t want to go as crazy you can use a bit more ‘safer’ ones (I stole these from Brad/Tim ):

“We should get married…”
“I need a female bodyguard…”
“I’m hiring you as my new chef/assistant/maid…”
“You are my new girlfriend…”

Try to get her involved in the roleplay as much as possible as it will help you letter on with callback humor or texting her. It’s much easier to be “Hey tomato girl, what’s up?” then “Hello this is Matt, we met at club X the other night”.

Roleplays are really easy to do and will make you stand out from the crowd, so if you have never done a roleplay you should definitely add them to your arsenal and start implementing them in your conversations.

Brad had a big part in writing this so much respect to him .

Just A Quick Update

Matt — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 18:18:37 +0000

So I came to a few interesting conclusions about my sticking points and general stuff about my life and I plan to write a big post about it on RSDNation which of course I will post here as well.

I’m thinking of building a ‘dream board’, actually I should build a ‘todo board’ as well and post the weekly todos here so I hold myself accountable and stay on track

Well that’s it for now..

Sunday 5th 2009

Matt — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 19:11:42 +0000

So,

I’ve watched the Wimbledon final the whole afternoon and was pleased to see Federer win his 15th Grand Slam Title, which in my book is quite amazing. I was a bit sad for Andy Roddick, he played well and fought hard, plus I think he’s a funny guy.

It’s been a hot afternoon and I was melting on my couch but it started raining now and it’s cooling down. Also I finally cooked a fish that has been in the deep freezer for like 2 months, tasted so lala but I didn’t have much stuff to cook it with, like onion or lemon are anything useful and tasty, but I was too lazy to go buy something at the nearest gas station, so I eat a whole fish. Genius!

I’m going to take a shower now and later make up my todo list for next week. Since I now have free time due to semester break I need to get myself on track and start working!

With that I’m off.. oh and I have something for my Swiss readers:

And could somebody please buy me a Mel Ramos picture? Thx!

Mel Ramos Pin Up

I’m drunk but yeah :D

Matt — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 01:07:15 +0000

So,

I’m quite drunk and after watching 40 year old virgin I’m quite amused too, that is why I decided to bless you with this:

Anyways made a good post on my journal at RSDNation. Go check it out and tell me what you think.

Going to write on my term paper now.. It’s going to be genius.. Habermas loves drunk people..

Good night

Haha, I got noticed

Matt — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 19:46:09 +0000

Something funny happened,

I never intended this blog to be really read by someone, but apparently it gets read and even by a a guy I think is really funny. So Barman over at PPC.bz wrote a post about me, you can go check it out here and it is quite the sarcastic one.

At first I was quite surprised that he somehow didn’t like my blog, then I realized it’s all fun and games. He makes fun about me trying to do online-business (at which I admittedly failed horrible so far) and how me posting my ‘stats’ is stupid. After the initial surprise I actually think the post is quite entertaining.

Anyways I never wrote this blog to make some kinda of ‘I-made-money-now-buy-stuff-from-me’ blog, all I wanted to do is write down my progress in my life and in affiliate marketing, because I noticed that writing about stuff helps me to think of new ideas and concepts.

“Well why don’t you do it offline then, moron?” If that was your reaction to this blog post, then yeah I guess you’re right, I just don’t like paper that much.

Well I guess thanks for the backlink and I’ll get out my ebook soon.

The week so far..

Matt — Sun, 21 Jun 2009 02:46:03 +0000

Okay,

I just got back from the clubs and it’s been a pretty okay week to me. The single most important thing is that I had my first profitable poll, as you can see in the image below:

Unfortunately I got the Google slap right after, so I worked hard for something and then Google took it away, nice! Anyways it seems that my Adwords account is under manual review now, so I want be starting polls there because they’ll never get through. But I’ll be working hard on Yahoo and MSN to make the monnies .

On another note, I got laid yesterday but still I have sticking points I need to fix, so what I’ll do is I’ll write the post I should have written weeks ago on RSDNation and I’ll work for my essay since the deadline is in 10 days and I need to finish this.

I know that this post is a bit scattered and all over the place, but I need to vomit it all out and then be able to focus and find the relevant stuff in my life again so I can move forward in the two most important areas in my life right now: girls and affiliate marketing.

Hope you enjoyed this one and good night
