It’s 9:30 pm on the east coast and Obama wins the race. Currently, MSNBC and FoxNews have called Ohio for Obama (MSNBC I’d be cautious, but Fox Freakin News!) and with his other states he has 200 electoral votes. Throw in his gimmies out west (CA, OR, WA, HI) and that’s ballgame. Obama will probably pick up a couple more swing states as well as Colorado and we will have our first African-American President. It’s morning in America. It’s the first time I ever voted for a winner even if I live in a very, very red state (my county went 70% McCain today).

Remember everybody, go out and VOTE! We don’t want Obama to be this guy:
If you live in a state that allows early voting, then vote early. Get your friends and your family to vote. No matter who you vote for, people died so you could vote so do it.
The hardest part of building a new site is coming up with materiel for your content (disclaimer: content may or may not be king). If you are not a subject matter expert in your niche or even if you are coming up with engaging, unique content can be quite a challenge. There are several possible solutions but one I like to use is PLR content.
Private Label Rights content usually refers to ebooks, articles, written contextual content, scripts, and programs. Someone else makes them and you pay for the right to use them, rework them, or even sale them. It is an easy way to increase your productivity by reducing content production time.
My new favorite site is the Private Label Chest. PLC is a PLR website run by Vic from BloggerUnleashed. It has many great products with PLR licenses. There are dozens of niches present with lots of content to draw upon. He uses a drip system to periodically add new content. Many of the products have the entire sales system included including ad copy, keywords, and even an entire mini site. There is also a lot of resources for building mini sites such as graphics, fonts, templates, etc. There is even software available for personal use that will help you promote your products and niches. Many of the PLR ebooks are just waiting to be plugged into the $7 script which is a great piece of software that will allow you to get paid directly in your paypal account.
I’ve been using the article packs to easily generate content and articles for article marketing. It’s easier and faster to just rewrite an article than to spend a lot of time doing research and its cheaper than outsourcing the work on ELance or Rent a Coder. There is even a 25 article pack on green tea which means I am branching out into a niche I never would have thought of on my own. It’s so cool.
You don’t have to use PLR to make money online and some people think you shouldn’t. But I’ll be counting up all the extra scratch I’m making while they are doing research or corralling freelance writers. My time is valuable and limited and I want to make the most of it. I’m also a cheap bastard and don’t buy anything online unless I have to. So if I’ve invested the money you know it’s a good deal. Plus, Vic is a great guy, a little rough around the edges, but he knows what he’s talking about. If it wasn’t for him, I probably never would have made any money online. So go to the Private Label Chest and sign up today.
When I said it yesterday, I was thinking in the back of my mind, no, they won’t actually go there. However, not only did they, they didn’t waste any time. On MSNBC today Brad Blakeman criticized Barack Obama for flying on his campaign plane to visit his ailing grandmother. All I can say is wow.
Blakeman tried to equate it to the $150,000 the McCain campaign spent on clothes for Sarah Pailin. I’ll try to be fair, is it completely above board for him to have flown on the campaign plane? Maybe, maybe not. Is this a stupid line of attack for the republicans to take. Absoloutely. I guess that’s why some strategist no one outside the media has ever heard of was tasked with saying it, in case it sounds stupid (Yah think?).
It was pointed out on Countdown that if a democrat had said the same thing about McCain visiting his mother then the republican outrage would be heard far and wide, it would dominate cable news for 8 days. I agree, Bill O’reilly’s head would explode in a fit of fake outrage.
My question is: is McCain even trying to win anymore? Huffington Post has the clip here.
