Whether or not you know what Twitter is, I bet I have a few facts you didn’t know. According to Wikipedia, Twitter is a free social-networking and micro-blogging service that enables people to send and read messages up to 140 characters long. That’s not much, but in todays fast moving world, many people don’t have time to read much more. Like other social networks, you can follow and connect with people.

So what is twitter good for? There is no way I could list all uses. So I’ll just mention a few. You can use Twitter to [...] Continue reading What the heck is Twitter?]]> http://garlix.com/website-success/what-the-heck-is-twitter/feed/ 0 http://garlix.com/website-success/less-is-more/ http://garlix.com/website-success/less-is-more/#comments Sun, 06 Dec 2009 16:21:19 +0000 Daniel http://garlix.com/?p=9453

Less is more, minpins rule

I come from years of automated advertising-infested auto blogs. Don’t hold that against me. This is my real non-automated blog! But I am a programmer and still think of ways to use my programming experience to make my computer and non-computer work load easier to manage. I wrote my own to-do list script and I am also using several of my own programs to keep up with certain stats I care about. That saves me a lot of time.

So back to the auto blogs [...] Continue reading Less is more!]]> http://garlix.com/website-success/less-is-more/feed/ 1 http://garlix.com/website-success/twitter-%e2%80%93-to-follow-or-not-to-follow/ http://garlix.com/website-success/twitter-%e2%80%93-to-follow-or-not-to-follow/#comments Wed, 02 Dec 2009 22:16:14 +0000 Daniel http://garlix.com/?p=9435

Shamelessly advertising my own twitter account

I am not sure if I should admit this, but… ahh… lets just say I have followed a lot of people. OK, lets make this more clear. I have been a Twitter whore and followed anyone. I later found out that many of the “people” I followed were not even real people. They were just bots, as in automated twitter accounts. So I was following everyone and everything, sounds gross, doesn’t it?

Within a week or two I had over [...] Continue reading Twitter – To follow or not to follow?]]> http://garlix.com/website-success/twitter-%e2%80%93-to-follow-or-not-to-follow/feed/ 4 http://garlix.com/website-success/un-subscribe-and-be-more-productive/ http://garlix.com/website-success/un-subscribe-and-be-more-productive/#comments Tue, 01 Dec 2009 18:30:38 +0000 Daniel http://garlix.com/?p=9430

newsletters cluttering my inbox

How many newsletters are you getting every day? How many of those do you just archive to read later, but never find time to really go back and read them? How many newsletters seduce you into buying another e-book or money-making software? How many newsletters do you delete from your inbox every day? Do you know what I am talking about? STOP! Sit back and take a breath!

I was subscribed to tons of newsletters and spent who knows how much money buying e-books [...] Continue reading un-subscribe and be more productive!]]> http://garlix.com/website-success/un-subscribe-and-be-more-productive/feed/ 0 http://garlix.com/website-success/why-she-was-happy-and-i-was-not/ http://garlix.com/website-success/why-she-was-happy-and-i-was-not/#comments Tue, 24 Nov 2009 19:55:35 +0000 Daniel http://garlix.com/?p=9318

sky-high

I have spent the better part of the last two years trying out every imaginable way of making money with a website, mainly a blog. However, I didn’t have much time to sit down and actually work on it. So I tried one automation tool after the other. And it was a roller coaster ride. One tool would give me thousands of linkbacks a day, others would give me a burst in traffic and crash my server. And others gave me thousands of new friends on Myspace and Facebook. And [...] Continue reading Why she was happy and I was not]]> http://garlix.com/website-success/why-she-was-happy-and-i-was-not/feed/ 2 http://garlix.com/website-success/do-you-have-a-lot-of-websites-and-wonder-why-they-all-fail/ http://garlix.com/website-success/do-you-have-a-lot-of-websites-and-wonder-why-they-all-fail/#comments Sun, 22 Nov 2009 01:55:18 +0000 Daniel http://garlix.com/?p=9276 Too many websites?

The more websites the better, right? Well, maybe not. Do you have a ton of websites and work your butt off every day, but still don’t make any money? Relax! I wont try to sell you anything today. Instead I will give you a solution for free. I have done that so many times. I would start a new website and work on it for days, weeks or months. But that new website wasn’t successful right away, So I thought, well, lets start another one.

Hi, my name is Daniel. I am a domain registration addict. Now you say: “Hi Daniel.” But seriously, I have several ideas for new websites or businesses every single day. And while I often think that I don’t really want to do them, there are always a few that I think could finally be my breakthrough. On a side note, I am already working on my second million! But that’s just the problem. The first million never materialized, so I gave up on making my first million.

The more domains I register and the more websites [...] Continue reading Domain Registration Addiction]]> http://garlix.com/website-success/domain-registration-addiction/feed/ 8
