Had lunch yesterday at one of my favorite spots in Jacksonville (Bamboo Creek Bistro) with my friend Jason Sadler of IWearYourShirt.com. (His first experience with dim sum!)
Everyday in 2009 Jason will be outsourcing his clothing to the guy or gal lucky enough to grab the spot. It’s a cool idea that’s getting abunch of buzz lately. He’s even been featured in a LA Times articles that made the front page of Digg.
Jason’s idea is a great case study of social media in action. Follow him on his site Iwearyourshirt.com where you’ll find his daily videos and blog and can even reserve your day to have him wear your shirt in 09′.
Peace,
Francis

White Sand Christmas…

Had lunch Friday with my buddy Aaron, from MarketingExperiments.com - (If you’re in online marketing at all and not getting their stuff…shame on you!…head over there and sign up.) I met him up at their offices right on Jax Beach and grabbed an awesome deep dish from Chicago Pizza right across the street.
Before I jumped in my car to head back to the home front (I had to get back to work sometime) I realized I how much I would have hated myself if I didn’t put my toes in the sand, if even for a minute. After all, it was 80 degress out there in the middle of December. One of the benefits of living in Florida. (And global warming =o )
Anyway, I took this video just to show you around wonderful Jacksonville Beach. There were a ton of people out soaking up the sun.
Check it out.

P.S. Now, I know I haven’t done much in the way of keeping this site updated, but I have some things up my sleeve to change that here shortly. (Bernard’s done an equally crappy a job–I’ll talk to him about that when he’s down here next week and straighten him out)…

StomperNet Trial - Week 1
by Francis Ablola
May 18, 2007 Francis, Internet Marketing, Search Engine Marketing
I’ve been digging around the StomperNet free trial for the past week or so. I’m actually quite surprised with the amount of information available to full members. Unfortunately, I can only see a sneak peek of everything since I’m in trial mode and I get cut off in the middle of the video. There are a ton of video training sessions that walk users through, step-by-step, skills like keyword research and setting up an AdWords account. Pretty basic stuff, but I wish I had a resource like this when I was getting started in search. I haven’t seen much value for someone with more experience in search marketing, but there is still a few more weeks to go in the trial. They say they’ve got a few bonuses for more experience marketers to be revealed during the next few weeks, so we’ll wait and see. I’ll continue to dig around and hopefully pick up a new tactic or two.
StomperNet $1 - 30 Day Trial

If you’re in Internet or search engine marketing and haven’t heard of StomperNet you must have been living under a rock. These guys (Brad Fallon and Andy Jenkins) know how to launch a product and have been going full steam this past week for the reopening of membership to the try it before you buy it crowd (like me). I just signed up for StomperNet’s $1 dollar trial and have been looking through the members area. I must say there there is a ton of information that full members get. Unfortuntely, $1 members don’t get full access. The 30 day trial opened today and closes Friday at midnight. I say it’s worth taking a look at, and much better than the $795 per month price take usually attached. I’ll keep you up to day of my progress through these next 30-days. $795 a month is a lot of cash to spend on a program, but if it works - it works.
