I just watched the inauguration of Barack Obama this morning. As this is one of the historical moments in the world as being the first African American to be the President, I don’t want to miss it. If you are one of those who missed it, here’s the video.

Barack Obama Made Me Monies

Actually, this isn’t really the reason why I made this post. Nor to get the traffic that bloggers are aiming for. I just want you guys to know that as an internet marketer, you should be able to “think outside the box”, stay away from what most are doing and search for you own opportunities. While bloggers are optimizing adsense for obama news, marketers are already earning since Day 1 of the campaign election.

Take a look at my PepperJam account and how much I earned because of Barack Obama.

What? No Pepperjam account yet? Awww… man, you’re missing out on the fun.

Can we make monies because of Barack Obama? He said it… “YES WE CAN!” Happy marketing guys, see you later, my pals at southpark is partying and I have to join them.

If you are interested about internet marketing or how I did this, don’t forget to get a copy of my report when it is out. It can be found here.

Ready Aim Fire: Zero to $100 Million in No Time Flat by Michael Masterson was recommended to me by a friend who is doing well in business. He is also an internet marketer and has many success in online businesses. The first time I heard about this book I said, “Is that another get rich quick scheme?” The thing is, it is NOT. I didn’t hesitated to buy the book Ready Aim Fire by Michael Masterson when he said that this book will teach me all I need to know about running a business. Either online or offline. Take note that I never had any business degree, I graduated in an engineering course and this friend of mine never went to college yet doing well in business.

I am mid way finishing the book and up to now I am still glad that I purchased it. It will teach you the right mindset in running a business. What are the things that causes a young businesses to fail. And how to grow your business from level 1 $0 - $100,000 a year to $100M+ a year.

To tell you the truth, I have been guilty of the things that might cause a business to fail and I am very greatful of this book for letting me know what I am doing wrong. Such as, focusing on the features of a site, or business or product you are promoting instead of focusing on other things that can make or break your business. What are those? You have to read the book to find out. Lots of things to learn in this book. I highly recommend it to those who wants to establish a long lasting business.

But don’t take my word for it, read the customer reviews on amazon.

When I first started using ClassiPress, there is one thing that I encountered that has frustrated me. To my frustration, I thought that this classified ads for wordpress is just a scam and a quick cash in for the developers. Through research I have found out that this problem is NOT caused by ClassiPress but by Wordpress.

When I installed classipress on my classified ads wordpress sites, it seems that I can not post or update pictures. This is because of wordpress’ permission and you have to do a little tinkering on your server. Do not worry, it will not be hard and it is quite easy.

The Reason

The reason we can not post or upload pictures after installing classipress is because of file permissions. So to fix this, fire up your FTP program and look for the /wp-contents directory. You will see the theme, plugins directory there. What you want to do is set the file permission to the /uploads directory to 777. This should do the trick!

If you don’t have /uploads folder

Create one! Its ok to create an uploads folder. Then, to make classipress work, you need to set the permission to 777.

Again, this is not classipress’ fault, its wordpress.
