Thats right, I have decided that this blog will be better off on CollinLaHay.com, so I will be transferring it fairly soon (after the new logo is done).

There are a number of reasons, but the main one is for branding purposes.  When I started Mixed Market Arts, I planned on everyone understanding that, just like the Mixed Martial Arts of fighting, this blog would have a mixture of different internet marketing techniques.

Long story short, people didn’t get it and people to this day say “mixed martial arts dot com” when they are talking to me, so I decided my branding idea actually backfired and it is time to move it to my name.

I will be going to Vegas for BlogWorldExpo 2008 this September 20-21. The event was massive last year and I hope this years will be even better. If you can afford the airfare, hotel, and cost of the event, I highly recommend you come and visit me there.

For those of you thinking about it, you can get the 25% off early bird special by signing up before the 22nd, and if you do a bit of research, you may even find a nice coupon to make it even cheaper.

Will I be seeing any of you at BlogWorldExpo 2008?

For those of you who have been reading my blog for less than a month, I make my online income report post once a month about my online earnings. These income posts are never meant to be for bragging purposes, but rather so that I can be completely transparent about what I earn online, so that years down the road I can show everyone my journey to wealth and how much hard work and dedication it involves, contrary to what many ebook sellers tell you. By being completely transparent about what I earn online also allows me to show you my biggest mistakes, and what I have learned from the most. The more mistakes I have, the more I learn from, and the more I show you how to avoid. My monthly online income reports are a summary of where I made my money, and where I lost my money.

Hey everyone, I am posting this from my Top Affiliate Challenge team room here in Nebraska. For those of you who have been reading my blog for less than a month, I make my online income report post once a month about my online earnings. These income posts are never meant to be for bragging purposes, but rather so that I can be completely transparent about what I earn online, so that years down the road I can show everyone my journey to wealth and how much hard work and dedication it involves, contrary to what many ebook sellers tell you. By being completely transparent about what I earn online also allows me to show you my biggest mistakes, and what I have learned from the most. The more mistakes I have, the more I learn from, and the more I show you how to avoid. My monthly online income reports are a summary of where I made my money, and where I lost my money.

Way back in March, I made the post that I was looking for people who were interested in selling their sites to me so I could expand my portfolio. Since that post, I have received dozens of offers, but unfortunately most were for websites that were either web directories, cheap proxies, image hosting sites, or myspace resource clones. However, every once in awhile I find a diamond in the rough.

At this very moment, I am sitting on my laptop in the Denver airport.  My connecting flight leaves in a little over an hour from now, and after a one hour flight I will finally be in Nebraska, ready to compete on the Top Affiliate Challenge.

The airport here is really nice, and has fast free wireless internet. They have a really nice system for monetizing the traffic too. To use the free internet, you have to watch a 30 second video ad, and then on every page you browse, there is a banner at the top with a few big advertisements, and a Google search bar (that earns the airport money). I thought I was going to have to pay $5/hour for internet, so that was a nice surprise.

While I am in Nebraska competing on the Top Affiliate Challenge, I am going to need to save as much time as I can every day, so that I can focus 100% of my effort on winning the show. This means that I am going to need a communication tool that is faster than my blog, to be used for all of my little updates.

For this reason, I am probably going to be using twitter a lot more than I usually do while I am on the show.
