Weekly Round Up
Posted on 24. Aug, 2008 by Benjamin Patton in Weekly Round up
Well this was yet another wonderful week and not just here but all across the blogosphere, lets get right to it and recap what has been going on here at Big Ben Patton’s Place in the last week.
Yesterday I discovered another great way for any affiliate specialist to earn yet another stream of cash if used correctly even on autopilot. Of course I am talking about Triple.com. If you have not stopped by and signed up I highly recommend you do as this has as much potential as say the HostGator.com Affiliate program.
I also spent a couple of days this week working on a sideline project to test some theories that I had come up with about site flipping. From concept to auction block in 24 hours and within another 24 hours the first bid.
While I have not yet broke even the promise is there as I have never done this before. This itself will be a mini series early in September.
What had originally inspired me was a debate or battle between Brian from http://www.SiteFlipU.com and our buddy Jim from TheNetFool.com. Essentially what happened before the contest spawned was that Jim had basically said it would be impossible to get close to $1k for 5 sites within 24hours. Brian from http://www.siteflipu.com happily took him up on this challenge and so far it is looking good with the sites successfully completed and to date have been bid up to a total value of $800.00+. So already ahead of the $20 per site predicted by Jim, and surely will make the $1k or close to mark predicted by Brian! This whole tail has a large touch of drama, and if your interested you can read it on the respective blogs as I am not really wanting to perpetuate any of it here.
Now as you know I have been writing about some exciting blogging tips for quite some time and finally decided to get busy with he internet marketing aspect of this blog. I hope your enjoying it so far, and stay tuned cause I am almost ready to show you how deep this rabbit hole goes!
I also set the basis for this “rabbit hole” affair by setting out 10 Absolute Must Know Tips For Internet Marketers. While some of these are similar for retail sales, blogging, and hoteliering you can see the theme for success 
We also took yet another look at viral marketing and how to leverage this act while doing your internet marketing thing. Always try to use this tool with anything worthwhile.
I also touched on the BlogGears.com Contest, and once again if you haven’t already stop by and submit a video , free traffic and being part of the next big viral blog craze is fun, and $250 in cash up for grabs raises the stakes!
The first post of last week was the kick off of our internet marketing lessons for everyone, showing that a $1,000 USD project aka blogsinspace.com could become one of the top 10 viral sites of all time. Not to mention you get to broadcast your blog into deep space!
Ok now that we are done recaping the obvious and the http://www.siteflipu.com success story, lets see what else is going on in our neighborhood.
Chris Pirillo asked “How Could We Wipe Out Piracy?” This is a great question and had many creative seasonings on how to battle an out of control vice. Unfortunately even though I already purchase all my proper software licenses I doubt this will ever happen until ignorance is wiped out or we go totally open source. My vote is with Star Trek!
Normal Joe managed to brand our friend Brian from http://www.SiteFlipu.com “crackhead” which unexpectedly stuck as of late, just in case you missed Joe’s video post that started it all stop by and view it.
John Cow talked about something I am sure a lot of us will need after the last week, “Work Stress Affects Your Overall Life – So Take Time Off” Some great advice as he outlines creating memories with those who are most important to you. A great read and some sage advice from someone with a great deal of experience in this field.
And to close out our link loving Sunday, The Stand Out Blogger has put his blog up on the block for sale while he will be missed, I am sure someone with the time and fortitude to post regularly will take over and see this deal through to the end. Stop by and check it out if you have not yet www.standoutblogger.com
Wow this is a meaty version of my weekly round up, I hope your enjoying it!
Of course we can not finish this off without giving the love to our top commentators this month so far. REMEMBER 1st place gets 1000 Entre Credits! Good Luck!
