Jack Born’s website for website marketing tutorials and tools

With one of my products, Ultimate Form Mail, going gang busters, I have decided to finally launch an affiliate program. This affiliate program is going to be very generous, and I’m going to put a lot of time into developing tools and tutorials to help my affiliates succeed.

A few things occurred to me as I was planning the install:

1. I’ve done a lot of research on different affiliate software and systems

The only problem was… I wasn’t a runner. Continue reading →

Depending on which reviews you read, you could think that Vonage was either the best thing since sliced bread, or the worst service ever launched.

Here’s my experience with Vonage:

I hate hearing “A penny saved is a penny earned.”

It’s wrong. And I’m convinced whoever said it was not a business owner.

A business owner knows that saving a penny is better than earning a penny, all else being equal. That’s because it takes more than a penny of sales to generate a penny of pure net profit. Every penny in sales gets whittled down by taxes, marketing costs, backoffice admin, and other expenses.

Today marks the relaunch of this blog, something I’ve been meaning to do for a while.

I’ve been toying around with exactly what the focus of this blog should be. Ideas I had:
