Yet Another Facebook Ads Coupon!

Posted by Matthew Berman On January - 19 - 2010

UPDATE: Check out my Facebook Ads Guide review. Facebook Ads Guide is an all-in-one guide to making money using facebook ads for affiliate marketing.

Here we go again. An internetbusinessdaily.net reader was kind enough to show me this Facebook ads coupon for $71.88. I know it is a weird amount, but that’s because it is converted from another currency. Here are the steps to receive this coupon:

  • 1. Go to qapacity.com/promote/facebook and sign up for an account.
  • 2. Wait for the confirmation email and confirm your account.
  • 3. Log in and goto the promote tab.
  • 4. Click the “read more” button in the middle of the page.
  • 5. Redeem your code.

That’s it! Have fun.

Apple’s Magic Mouse + Magic Prefs

Posted by Matthew Berman On January - 11 - 2010

For Christmas, one of the gifts I received was Apple’s new magic mouse, which you can buy here. I absolutely love this thing. The Magic Mouse is the total revamp of Apple’s previous Mighty Mouse. Apple has take multi touch technology and placed it in this mouse. The entire top of the mouse is one big touch pad that can accept multiple gestures.

There is one glaring problem with the new Magic Mouse, which is the fact that Apple decided to not build any extended functionality into the multi touch surface. The only thing it allows you to do is flick up and down, which represents scrolling and two finger swipe right and left which cycles forward and backward in your browser. With such a powerful piece of hardware, I wonder why they made the software so limited.

Alas, all is not lost. Some awesome developers came up with Magic Prefs. Magic Prefs allows all the functionality that the Magic Mouse was built for. Pinch to zoom, three finger click for expose, and much more is now available if you install Magic Prefs (shown below). With this software, the Magic Mouse has become the best mouse on the market. It has become the standard for all other mouse makers to be compared to, just like the iPhone did to the mobile phone market. If you don’t already have the Magic Mouse, I definitely suggest getting it.

Back in the Saddle

Posted by Matthew Berman On January - 6 - 2010

It’s a new year and it’s time to get to business. I am continuing to consult for some clients for SEO and PPC marketing but have started researching new affiliate marketing products to promote as well. My goal for the first few months of 2010 is to build up a nice amount of passive income through a few steady affiliate marketing campaigns.

Last year, all of my affiliate marketing campaigns were very volatile. One month I would make 5 figures and another month I would make nothing. Although this is exciting and has the potential to make more overall money, having consistent income is more important to me right now. I will update IBD with my progress when I start.

I couldn’t think of an image to add to this post, so here is a picture of my new puppy. :)
