Typically I like to keep this blog aimed towards Convert2Media business. However, since I totally crashed from blogging when I gave up Cashtactics, I was lying in bed tonight and had a vision. Call it stupid, call it ridiculous but at the end of this vision comes a very important lesson. A chance I took, a source of notriety I gave up and ultimately the belief in myself and from others that we really could make the big money online turned into nearly 40 Million dollars in revenue in 16 months.
Here goes…
I sit here tonight. A lot of things on my mind. I remember in November of 2006 I was approached by guys I worked with online on a publisher basis. The consensus was that while working together on certain aspects of our affiliate business, there had to be something out there bigger. While I had been online working for nearly two years back then, it wasnt until November of 2006 that I took the plunge to come online fulltime.
I had one goal in mind when I walked into Convert2Media and that was to have “the little guy make a difference”. Have we made a difference? I leave that up to publishers and advertisers of Convert2Media. As a publisher or advertiser or even a competing network (god knows how many of you read these ramblings), I can say that in 16 months of operation we have revenues nearing the 40 million dollar mark.
The epiphany I had was, less than three years ago I was working as a WalMart Distribution Operator, running crop chemical in coop refuelers and doing construction work as a side job. In less than two years fulltime online, I’m now President and Co-Owner of a multi million dollar affiliate network. As if that was not enough, the guys behind C2M will now enter yet another multi million dollar venture at the start of the new year.
This post is to not brag or bolster. This post is not one of the rags to riches stories (I was making great money as a publisher before). This story is meant for those who hit a rock or a bump. Dont you ever fucking give up. I dont care what people say to you, I dont care what you read online and I really could care even less what you think you might know.
Stop thinking about it, and be about it. It’s out there waiting for you. Questions is, what are you going to do about it?

While I was in Chicago I came across a new service I was not familiar with in MediaBids.com. With the rates in Print Advertising dramatically I thought this would be a nice resource for our Offline Marketing section in the forums. Hop in the thread and let’s start talking about the new service!
Some of the bullet points I caught were that MediaBids allows you to specfically target:
- Business thru Business Magazines
- Classified Ads – Good for opportunity seekers
- Reach women by advertising special interests
- Also reach men by advertising special interests
- Choose your own targeting
Another nice feature was to advertise by searching for specific magazine type of by state. We’ll continue the conversation in the forums as we get deeper into this new service.
