Exclusive: Amazon MP3 Widget Preview

May 5, 2008 – 8:49 pm

Amazon is at it again, working hard for their affiliates by providing cool widgets. I have been grated an exclusive access to preview and test the new widget that you see on the right. All I can say is WOW!

With this new widget you will be able to create an MP3 Clips for your website. You can add entire albums or single songs. If you are writing a blog about music, you should definitely give this widget a spin when it is released in a week or two.

From playing around with this widget, I like it more than the carousel widget. It is fast and very easy to configure. I am myself look forward when the widget is released, so maybe I can make a some $$$ with it. What can I say?!!! Great job Amazon!

Black Ink Project- 2000 More Can Participate

May 3, 2008 – 11:21 pm

I have really planned this to be my “voice blog” post via my new little toy Snapvine. However it looks like I am loosing the battle with my mike.

At any rate, I have just read at Jeremy Palmer’s blog that his Black Ink Project will accept 2000 additional participants.

I highly recommend to consider this free online course, if you are starting in affiliate marketing or would like to take your business to another level.

I have been a member of QuitYourDayJob Community since 2006 and if it was not for Jeremy’s book and his community I might have quit affiliate marketing long time ago.

Voice Blogging With Snapvine

May 2, 2008 – 9:34 pm

I have just recently discovered Snapvine.com (HT: Debo Hobo), so I am giving it a spin for the first time. You can see two widgets on my blog from Snapvine, one just to the right of this post. This widget contains my voice blog. And in the sidebar itself there is another widget, which I will be using for short messages and shout outs. You can use either widget to communicate with me and leave your comments. The great thing about Snapvine is that it allows you to record your voice messages via regular or cell phone as well as using your computer’s microphone.

If you are into podcasting or voice blogging, you may find this service quiet intriguing. I highly recommend giving it try, you can start by leaving your comments on my most recent voice blog.

Taking The Carousel Widget For A Spin

May 1, 2008 – 8:30 pm

It seams as every time I decide to login into my Amazon Associate account, I find the new widget. It is not going to be an overstatement to say that Amazon Associate program is doing some amazing things to give their affiliates an upper hand when it comes to promoting Amazon’s products.

The Carousel Widget was introduced on April 11 and if you have not yet done so, I encourage you to take a closer look at this widget. See example below:


This widget embeds nicely inside the WordPress posts as well as in the template or plain html page. While my example above is some what out off place, if you discount the fact that I am an Apple fan, you can find some creative ways to use this widget on variety of websites. Let say you have “recipe blog”. You can use this widget to display your favorite cook books or even kitchen gear and equipment. Just take a look at my wifes latest online adventure- Tip 32. Since we are married I have seen her baking hundreds of cakes and the race car cake is just the latest cake she made for our 7 years old nephew. On the website you will see that she used the Carousel Widget to showcase the products and equipment she used to make the cake. This is just one example of how the widget can be used.

I always had a grudge towards Amazon Associate program over the 24 hour cookie. However there is hardly any other affiliate program out there that can match Amazon when it comes to innovation. Anyway, try the widget for yourself and see if you like it. I think this is one of the best widgets Amazon had recently come up with.

What Do You Do On Sundays?

April 22, 2008 – 4:03 am

Affiliate marketing, has freed many of us to do things we like but most importantly to spend more time with our families. However, there also lies a danger to be so consumed with our work that it may take us away from things that are important.

Below is just simple sample of how part of my Sunday looks. The church is a place for me to get away from every day things in literal and a spiritual sense. It refreshes me from the inside.


Whatever you do on your days off, whether you believe in God or not one thing you should not neglect is to sped it with your those who love you. I am lucky enough to spend my Sundays with my wife in our little but most beautiful church.
