Well it’s Monday afternoon, it’s pouring down rain, and I’m busier than ever. Anyway I thought it would be a great way to start off the week, by talking a little bit about what’s been going and and where I’m heading. It’s all a part of my decision to be proactive in my business and so on the blog it goes.

I’m a Woo Themes Forum Ninja

As I’m sure you all have seen, I’m sporting a fancy new banner by the Woo Themes Team. This past week, the head honchos over there, including one of my all time favorite bloggers, Adii, asked if I would help out around the shop and help answer all those mysterious Woo Theme questions. WOW, what a tough job it is! However, I’ve got to say, that honestly it has got to be one of the best forums around. I know that Brian Gardner’s Revolution has some great support too, but man-o-man… The Woo Themes Team really nailed what it is to offer help a fellow blogger. So if you’d like my artistic and professional opinion… head on over there, scoop yourself up an awesome theme and start kicking blogosphere ass! Yeh, it be cool if you used one of MY links, I working on my monetization goals remember! LOL. Is your blog sexy?

An Ugly Stick Beatdown…. The Quick Version

Sometime last week, I got an e-mail from a guy named Troy or Tam or Twan or Twit… hell I can’t even remember the guys name… asking for an ugly stick beatdown. The funny thing is that he wanted a beatdown on himself. Entrepreneur I am, sadist, I am not… so after a little debate and a bit of arm wrestling… we settled on a fee for a quick mention here on Piss Biscuit. It’s all part of my business plan remember!

Tony… yeh, that’s his name… from RockinDaily.com wants all of you to go and visit his blog. Technically, I’m supposed to beat his blog down, since that is what he paid for, but since it was a partial fee, he gets a partial open handed slap rather than a full fledged uppercut. His blog is a bit boring. His Adsense ads slap you in the face as soon as you log on, so to me it screams monitization. Smells like a flip coming on, but that’s okay if that’s his plan. So in the spirit of showing Tom some love PB style, head on over to RockinDaily.com and leave some hate mail, spam, or even affiliate loaded links. He won’t mind a bit.

PB was up for sale at SitePoint

Some of you slicker site flipping masterminds might have found the listing of PB on sitepoint this past 10 days but now that it’s over I can make fun of myself for trying. I got a few e-mails, a couple of bids, and the auction closed at a whopping $750.00 bucks…LOL. I listed the site more for fun, however if the right buyer had come along, with the right money… I’d walk. But since it didn’t sell for anything worth bragging about, I’ll just jump back on my bandwagon and join the pitty party over at my favorite blogshpere bar… The Lesson Learned Watering Hole”. It was fun, but not very profitable.

Traffic Stats and More

It’s been quite a while since talking about traffic and the myriad of other little goodies that I like to look at, so I’ll throw it in here as part of the Monday warm up. I’m touching on about 63,000 page views, 312 unique visitors a day and growing strong. I hope the trend keeps up in which case I’ll stay motivated… it’s been a while since crying the blogger’s blues… I’d like to keep it that way!

If This Blog Could Talk

Bling Bling Joe from ImwithJoe.com interviewed me this past week for his latest creation IfThisBlogCouldTalk.com. I love the concept and I love what he’s doing with the design. I know the site has been saying “maintenance mode” for a while now, but now that I’ve made a big deal about it… he’ll just have to get his ass into gear. Let’s put the pressure on him people!

It’s Christmas in August

Our buddy Yan, who’s been a bit scarce around these parts lately is holding a pretty damn good contest if you haven’t heard. It’s called Christmas in August and between he and his awesome sponsors… he’s giving away quite a big bag of goodies. The Best part about Yan’s contest is that the man is giving away multiple prizes to multiple winners. He’ not putting on any old contest, so head on over to Blog for Beginners and get yourself hooked up with Christmas in August!

“I’ve been an avid reader of many blogs for a long time now. I’ve seen plenty of them come and go. But please don’t be mistaken… many were my own.”

After months of mental debate, I decided to use my “Piss & Vinegar” attitude in a way that would help regular people create and maintain their business dreams. I know it sounds all a bit hokey, but it’s the truth. If you thought America was the land of opportunity, the internet is her playground.

Let me disclose that I’m not a money making guru. I’m likely not going to show you anything that you haven’t heard or seen before. I won’t teach you how to get rich, and I won’t tell you to fire your boss tomorrow… I will however, show you with complete conviction, what it is to run your online business in the very best way that I can… through my own personal and professional experiences.

I ask only a few things of my future readers. Participate, congregate, and always leave comments! Happy customers are the fuel of any business owner and it’s no different with blogs. We need a little motivation too you know and commenting regularly is a great way to feed the fire. I’m sure that all of you will enjoy learning from this blog, as much as I have enjoyed planning it. Thanks for visiting!
