I was a speaker at PubCon today for a session on affiliate marketing.
PubCon: Hot Topics in the Affiliate Space
So, what I decided to do was give the same type of advice I received at PubCon over four years ago that really jump-started my campaigns. It wasn’t that I had to get smarter, I just had to DO stuff. Stop the whining, the bitching and the moaning and just get stuff done. It worked.
If you’d like a great summary of my presentation, Lisa Barone over at OutSpoken Media, did a great write-up.
I’ll have more about PubCon tomorrow. The three hour time difference is still messing with me.

The main reason I started the SEO Revolution was out of frustration. Frustration at all of the lies and misconceptions that are posted in forums, given as advice in teleconferences, and even taught in live workshops. "So why didn't all of this work?" " Why wasn't my site successful?" " Why am I still stuck in a rut?" 
Lisa Barone is the best!!

I own a franchisee and currently struggle with this same question when franchisees in my metro area ask what I am doing on the internet. On one hand I want to help them, but at the same time I have found that the nature of my business makes them my competitor.
I follow the “teach a man to fish” philosophy. Simply explaining what I do would only help them temporarily and they wouldnt really understand why anyways.
I have just started a small seo consultancy business and the steady income thing is not a major concern for me, as I have a lot of clients who pay in monthly installments. The one thing that I find hard is knowing when to stop work and when I can actually start it. I have a young family so time is a major issue for me.
