I have been experimenting with Twitter over the past few weeks. I really like it. It’s quick and easy. You control who you follow, so spam is not a problem. Posts are limited to 140 characters, so it’s quick and easy. You can follow me at http://twitter.com/mikesmind.
Now, about the cowpetition. I had never heard about John Cow prior to getting an email from Jason Katzenback at Comment Kahuna. I decided to opt in to John’s cowpetition, as his method of building contacts was very creative. It involves his RSS feed, Twitter, and YouTube. I can do the first four steps to earn 40 points, but will have to skip the last one. I just don’t have time today to get a video up on YouTube.
Right now, you can jump over to John’s site and check out his cowpetition yourself. There is over $3,000 worth of prizes to the winner!

I have been busy creating a new website. It has been a lot of fun and things are coming along well. with that, I have also been working to learn how to make money on the internet. I have been reading various emails, blogs, websites, and other materials from “internet marketing gurus.” The amount of stuff out there is truly overwhelming!
Truth be told, the “internet marketing guru” portion is not going so well. There is so much advice out there and it is often hard to tell who is a real “internet marketing guru.” Many people are buying and selling content, but I am interested in people who are generating useful content that I can apply to my projects. I could list the folks that I have decided to ignore for now, but perhaps it is more constructive to list who I am going to pay attention to.
In no particular order, those are:
1) Jonathan Leger
2) John Reese
3) Joel Comm
Why did I pick these three? For one, they all give valuable advice for free! Each of their websites offer many things you can do to help your business and it is given in the spirit of giving back. Also, for the most part, there is very little hype for these three. They tend to recommend things they have already tried themselves and they do this with straight talk, including the down-side of product or technique they are recommending. In other words, they are real pros.
Click over to their websites and give them a try. Also, share your recommendations in my comments section.
