Navigate and Use the Computer without a Mouse

Navigate and Use the Computer without a Mouse

We’ve all accepted the use of an external mouse as a necessary inconvenience to use a computer. But there are still those of us who always ask why, always look to optimize and always look for the most efficient ways to do things. You’re probably one of those people and that’s why you’re tired of moving your hand back and forth between the home row and the mouse.

What if I told you that in the past 5 years, I’ve never had to lift my hands of off the keyboard. I used my computer, browsed and navigated entirely without a mouse…

No, I’m not a Linux commandline uber geek and I don’t memorize more keyboard shortcuts than an average user. I’m a normal Windows user and if Firefox wasn’t way too cool, I’d use Internet Explorer. But I refuse to use a computer or work with a dirty mouse in my palm all day long. Read more…

A Website Struggle in Internet Marketing – Part 2

2009 November 1
by MK

This post is a follow up to the story I wrote in August of last year. It’s about my first Internet marketing website which is codenamed DET and is about “dubai employment”.  I put 100s of hours into it and I continue to work on it until this day. The previous post detailed the beginning of DET and the phases that it went through.

In that post I talked about how I spent several weeks intensively redesigning and revamping DET only to realize that I was actually killing the business with my new ideas.

Today, I’ll share with you what I did to revive DET, get it to generate $1,000/month in sales, increase its potential, and what I plan to do to realize that potential and multiply the revenue…

Create a Disposable Email Address That Works Anywhere

2009 October 28
by MK

disposableemailThere are a few problems with popular disposable email services such as Mailinator.

  1. Email marketing providers regularly sniff domain names used by disposable email services and block them. For example, Aweber, GetResponse and MailChimp will all decline your sign up if you use a Mailinator domain.
  2. Disposable email services are not always reliable. Many times emails sent to disposable email addresses will never reach the inbox

What if you could have a permanent, convenient, and reliable disposable email address that works anywhere? I’m gonna show you how. But first, let’s make sure we’re on the same page. Your disposable email should:

  • Not obstruct or interfere with your regular email
  • Be reliable and always work
  • Be readily accessible and be only a couple of mouse clicks away
  • Require none to very little maintenance

A Website Struggle in Internet Marketing

struggleDET is a website I started in September of 2008. The goal was (and still is) to make money in Internet marketing. I will refrain from mentioning the full domain name of DET because I don’t want this post to show up when a reference check is made. There are lots of secrets in this post.

The domain name of DET contains the phrase “dubai employment”. I wanted to create a website that is search engine optimized for this key phrase. I learned the importance of this from The Thirty Day Challenge, which is a free course that got me to stop fumbling and truly get started in IM. They hold the 30-day challenge every year with renewed and improved material. I’m thinking of taking the new course soon.

The plan for DET was to first build a sustainable stream of traffic. I imagined that I could then throw any product in front of this stream and have it picked up. It was an accurate imagination, but it wouldn’t be that simple.

I created DET. I put some search-engine-optimized content on it. And I started getting traffic. It was time to start selling.

Many people, myself included, are complaining about the lack of an objective news source. We see the clear bias in the mainstream media. We wish there were some one who can be objective enough; someone who doesn’t have an agenda. When someone asked on Yahoo! Answers if an unbiased news website existed, someone else, called DeeDee Cortez, answered:
