Are there any sucessful deaf Internet Marketers?

I’ve been marketing on the Internet for 10 years. I am sure there’s many deafies that are more proficient in Internet Marketing than I am. What I love to do is read on what’s the LATEST SEO strategies. I’ve signed up with many marketers lists and see what product they’re pushing. And this is the sad conclusion. A lot of products they’re pushing to help with your website get better ranking are either expensive, full of crap, or BOTH! It’s like “I’ll scratch your back if you scratch mine”. So those marketers are making money. And the customers that bought the products? Ain’t making money, that’s for sure! Because by the time they’ve purchased the products, Google changes the rule and then makes it hard to get the products to work.

As for me, I’d rather learn from experts that Walk the Talk, than those marketers pushing each others products. And now I’m a member of a very exclusive search engine marketing forum and am getting the latest information from those “in the trenches”. It’s very exciting time, and very challenging. But trust me, the money’s there. Want to earn over $10,000 a month? It’s realistic. Just have to know HOW to do it! And, which experts to listen from!

What does an Internet Marketer do? Create website that will show up on search engines such as Google, MSN, Yahoo, etc.

There’s tremendous competition for keywords. Take a look at “deaf” on Google. Today there’s over 72 million websites! As of today my website is #36. I’ve had it fluctuate between #21 and #41. Deafbiz.com has been online for 10 years and the best it can do is #21. If you start your website today, how long will it take to reach the top 40?

Today, it gets much, much harder to not only have your website
recognized on Google, but in fact for Google to know you have a
website! (this is called indexing). How can you tell if your website is in Google? type site:yourdomain

And why do we create websites? To advertise our business. To promote our non-profit organization. For me - it’s to make money! ;-)

How can my websites make money? Enticing people to click on Google Adsense or other PPC ads or click on Clickbank products to purchase, or click on Amazon.com to earn commission on sales, etc.

Supposed you just want to make money 7/24. Websites can do that for you, no problem. That’s a great deaf dream, right? ;-)

Problem is getting people to find your website, and then getting people to click or buy from your website.

And now there’s a new problem - the earnings per website have dropped from dollars a day to pennies a day!

So instead of building 1 website earning $10 a day, now you’ll need to create 300 websites earning $1 a day. From what I’m reading on Search Engine forums (and especially from a members-only exclusive Search Engine board), Google is on a warpath aggressively deleting websites and blogs that were created for the sole purpose of enticing visitors to click and buy. Funny thing is that the same thing happened to Google - they deleted their own blog ;-)

So, do you have time to create 300 websites? That’s 300 domains to find and register, 30 templates to create (10 websites per template to avoid what’s called “Google footprint”. If you have 300 or 3000 of the same template with different keywords and domains, Google will figure out what template you use and zap ALL your websites from the index.)

So how can you make money 7/24 and stay ahead in the race vs. Google? At this point, creating 100 websites a day isn’t enough! It’s time to THINK BIG! Can you imagine creating 1 million pages a day? Can you imagine the INCOME from 1 million pages a day? Would you like to learn how to do this? If you’re willing and understand basic html and php coding and have a little bit of money to spare every month, let’s talk. Or better yet, visit this website.

I am seeking only two deaf Internet Marketers to work with me on this. Membership is capped at 500. When 500 is reached, this exclusive club is closed and my link will be taken down. Don’t wait too long!

That didn’t take long. Membership is capped. Oh well.

Dirty business at Deaflympics?

I’ve been receiving emails from deafsportlawsuit, so almost never took him seriously. The writer has tried very hard to expose possible corruption at Deaflympics, and accusations have been flying back and forth between the writer, Deaflympics committee, and Gallaudet University.

I do not know if the latest chapter is real or not but when someone’s missing, well… it’s kinda hard not to notice.

Dear Sports Friends:
 
Can you help this unfortunate deaf lady - Mrs. Shlimovich - by finding the
truth as to what actually happened to her husband?   Please read her recent
passionated letter to the IOC President.
 

 

March 2, 2006
 
Dr. Jacques Rogge
President
The International Olympic Committee
1007 Chateau d’Vidy
Lausanne
Switzerland
 
Subject: Kidnapping/Murder of My Deaf Husband and CISS President
 
Dear Dr. Rogge:
 
I am a deaf spouse of Felix Shlimovich who has been a missing person since
December 11, 2005. Before his disappearance my husband was a manager of the
Russian Deaf Sports Committee and traveled to Deaflympic Games many times.
 
I do sincerely hope and pray that you, a concerned and caring citizen, will
read this very painful message of mine and do something  in finding the truth as
to what actually happened to my beloved husband.
 
Since the day of Felix’s disappearance, our family members - Samuel
Shlimovich ( Felix’s aging and ailing father ), Anatoliy Shlimovich ( Felix’s
deaf brother ) and I  have tirelessly and sleeplessly been working day and night
to locate Felix or his body.
 
Recently, on February 4, 2006,  an advertisement was published in the
popular Russian daily newspaper - MOSCOW  KOMSOMOLETS. On that newspaper
advertisement my family appealed to the Russian public for help in locating
Felix’s whereabouts and in which a monetary reward incentive was set up for this
purpose.
 
So far, there is no positive result.
 
However, my family received the following leads related to Felix’s
disappearance:
 
1)  that the persons who were involved in planning to kidnap ( and,
possibly, murder ) of Felix  were the three deaf members of the Nikolai Klimov
family: Nikolai himself, his son - Slava Klimov, his son-in-law - Yakov Frenkel,
as well as their close female friend from the USA - Donalda Ammons,
 
2) that the idea, influence and order to harm Felix came directly from
Washington, D.C., that is, from the two Gallaudet University employees - Slava
Klimov and Donalda Ammons, and
 
3) that Nikolai Klimov, as a result, decided to launch and finance the
horrific operation to eliminate Felix from his life’s  existence by hiring the
service of deaf hit persons in Moscow.
 
Please note the following facts: 1) Donalda Ammons is the current President
of the CISS and she is employed as a teacher at Gallaudet University; 2) Slava
Klimov is also an employee of Gallaudet University and since 2001 he has been
acting as an informant for Donalda Ammons in her legal case against one
prominent and outspoken deaf sports leader from New York; 3) Nikolai Klimov -
was removed as the President of the Russian Deaf Sports Committee in 2004; 4)
Yakov Frenkel was also removed as the Vice President of the Russian Sports
Committee in 2004.
 
Previously, I was aware of the facts that twice - on February 27, 2003 in
Sweden and on January 3, 2005 in Australia, respectively - at the influence and
orders of Donalda Ammons -  the local police and security agents were attempting
to arrest Felix in these respective places because Felix accused Donalda Ammons,
with the assistance of the Klimov family members, in allegedly stealing his
exclusive property - the original of his produced videofilm of the 37th CISS
Congress and 2001 Deaflympic Summer Games.
 
For such an alleged theft and by being unable to retrieve his own property
from either Donalda Ammons  or the Klimovs - father and son, Felix filed the two
separate lawsuits against these persons in Washington, D.C., and Moscow.
 
I was also aware of the two following facts that during Felix’s visit to
the campus of Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C., on March 17, 2004, Felix
was verbally abused and physically attacked by Slava Klimov there ( an incident
report was filed with the Gallaudet University  police department on that day ).
In addition, on January 12, 2005, during the Deaflympic Summer Games, at the
premises of the Melbourne Sports and Athletic Complex in Melbourne, Australia,
Jerald Jordan, the former President of the CISS, 1995 Olympic Order holder and
now a senior advisor to Donalda Ammons in the CISS, secretly met with Felix and
there Jerald Jordan vainly persuaded Felix to drop his lawsuit cases against
Ammons and her accomplices.
 
The recent court case held in Washington, D.C., on January 18, 2006, in
which Felix as a plaintiff was absent and in which both defendants Slava Klimov
and Donalda Ammons appeared, is now being dismissed because of Felix’s
non-showing  up at the court’s premises on that day.
 
It is quite unbelievably, outrageous and appalling that a
still-sitting-in-the-office President of the International Olympic Committee of
the Deaf ( CISS ) - Donalda Ammons - is being directly and indirectly implicated
in this criminal act: the kidnapping and possible murder of Felix!
 
I  write to you because the IOC has influence over the CISS and Donalda
Ammons since the IOC, as I understand, provides some financial assistance to the
CISS. I do also understand that you and your people in the IOC have a close
working relationship with Donalda Ammons.
 
Therefore, I  am now appealing to you, dear IOC President, to take
appropriate action, including using your influence in pressuring Donalda Ammons
to tell the truth and provide accurate information as to what factually happened
with Felix’s mysterious disappearance on the night of December 11, 2005.
 
Please help my family and me.
 
With Tears in Eyes,
  
Irina Im Sem Nyu Shlimovich

Open Source Windows

If you have time on your hand, visit del.icio.us/popular (better yet, bookmark it on your RSS reader). This list points out popular websites that people are talking about.

I just took a quick peek at the del.icio.us/popular this morning and first thing on the list was “Open Source Windows”.

It’s a very easy, graphical, eye-candy website listing free software to use on Windows XP.

I can vouch for this legitimacy because I use Firefox as a browser and Filezilla for FTP.

If you need a word processor or an office suite, forget spending a fortune on MS Office. Use OpenOffice instead. It’s just as good as the real thing!

I’m gonna have fun trying other free software on the list.
