So now it’s been roughly 3 months since I started my e-commerce business, so it’s time for an update. I wanted to share a bit more on my blog, thankfully my business is not pure affiliate marketing so I don’t care about keeping secrets.
One of my earlier posts, titled Blueprint – Make Stacks Online, I [...]

I’m really looking forward to this year, it’s been nearly 3 years since I decided to become a roaming nomad, pretty amazing to think back at all the ground I covered…
In May of 2007, I left Melbourne and went to: England, France, Monaco, Italy, Vatican City, Greece, Austria, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Germany, Lichtenstein, Holland, Belgium, [...]

So I’m slowly building an E-commerce empire. SEO rankings are hugely important because it’s longterm free money. At the same time, I also want to rank well in multiple countries at the same time.
My original line of thinking was to build one domain and make it huge. This also conflicts with what my mentor [...]

I’ve spent the last year learning a ton of shit doing affiliate marketing. I also have previous experience with e-commerce selling physical products. If we take a quick look at the two:
E-commerce: An online store takes alot more work to begin, but once it’s running provides a very stable income.
Affiliate marketing(via paid traffic): Fast results, [...]

The Pro’s and Con’s of doing this I’ll save for another post. I’m in the process of launching an e-commerce site which I’ll use as a live case study.
Sometimes the idea of importing your own products can be daunting if you haven’t done it before, but it’s really not that difficult if you know what [...]

So, what is this blog, and why did I make it?
This blog is a cross between a travel blog and a MakeMoniesOnline blog, because I make money online while traveling around the world. Most people seem to think these 2 things are mutually exclusive, but they ain’t, it just requires some creative thinking.
So consider this [...]
