I really don’t know how the internet works. That may sound funny from someone who is trying to build an internet empire. Heck that may even sound ridiculous. How in the world is someone going to make money on the internet when they don’t even know how it works?

Ok so I know the basics. I know that connecting with others, and giving good information is the cornerstone to getting people to your site. Search engines are ok, but they don’t work like good old networking.

But, every once and a while something comes up and you don’t expect it. I have an old site that I used to dabble with and help me learn how to blog. All of a sudden it is starting to get some traffic. As a matter of fact it made a few dollars last month. And for what, I did not do anything; I did not make a single post since May. So why is this happening?

Having a good stat counter can help you analyze this. Stat counters are not just to be vain with. It is not just to see how many people you can get to your site. Stat counters are useful for many analytical ways. Being a coach, a math teacher, and an ex engineer, analysis is right where I belong.

The site is Good Putting.com. It is a good little site and has some potential. Looking up the stats I am finding that there are a whole bunch of hits coming from people looking up putters, and what pro is using what putter. It is really good to know. I guess I need to pick it back up again and start doing a little research. This is good because I like golf, and I am a good putter.

Get a good stat counter. I use StatCounter.com and Google Analytics for my sites. Why two? I get a better understanding of where my hits are coming from and why. The key is to use them to see where you are getting traffic, and then target those people to drive in more traffic.

Conceive It, Believe It, Achieve It.

I have been asking that a lot lately, and I have finally found myself, who I am and what I am. It was not an easy road. I knew from the start that I just needed to be myself, but what happens when you don’t know who you are? Well that is the problem isn’t it? If you are in this boat let me help you out.

The reason I had to try so hard to find myself is through a long series of events (10 years I know exactly since it was from the end of college) I had developed a persona. This persona consisted of different personalities geared toward others, trying to act like what I thought they wanted me to act. So where did that leave me? I don’t know, buried deep in the recesses of my soul. What it caused me to do is not develop any new friends, become a social hermit, and become really confused. People still liked me, and I have great relationships at work, but it did not help with me. I felt like I could not be myself, causing the hermit effect. I really was not afraid of going out, and being around people, as a matter of fact I loved doing it, but I always ended up in a corner, holding tight my beer, trying to act cool. Yes I did go home not only alone, but without talking to anyone. David Deangelo helped me a little bit, but that was not me. For those of you who don’t know David Deangelo click his name to check his website. A great dating information site, but if you strip away the womanizing part it is even a better self help guru.

What happened? Well I was lucky enough to find a great woman who saw me deep in my soul. She saw right through my persona and she instantly brought out me. Now she could have never done that if I had not already been working on it, but she brought it out much quicker.

So now who am I. I am very comfortable being a guy, actually I love being a guy. We can spit and scratch and swear, and not comb our hair or wear underwear and get away with it with just a dirty look or two.

I am a modern Vagabond, a Coach, a Teacher, a Geek, a former Athlete, a Naturist, and an Entrepreneur.

So what do I talk about in my blog. Traveling and how to unplug without unplugging, Making yourself better, How to learn anything, Technology, Fitness and Health, Hiking Camping Biking Boating Fishing and being Outdoors and saving nature, MAKING MONEY how the new internet is going to help anyone who is ready to make money.

My services? Personal Coaching, Helping people put together teachable and learnable programs, Technology to use, and networking on making money.

I will not be grammatically correct. I will write in my own voice. I will make a lot of spelling mistakes and make up my own words. I will be positive as much as possible. I will live in the now (learnt that from my dog). I will exploit the internet and use it to build my own personal empire (mmmuuuuoooooooahahahahahah that is my evil laugh)

That is enough for now, I will get you more stuff soon. Don’t be afraid to contact me at any of me email addresses (bkipke@kipinc.biz works well).
