As you know, this is, in the main, a technology blog; although I do tend to go a little off-track at times: I call this a pattern-interrupt. – It wakes the audience up basically. – At least, that’s the general idea, of sorts.

You’ll also be aware that I market products via this blog and other media; from products that are directly related to technology itself, to internet marketers’ products.

What have internet marketers’ products got to do with technology? You ask.

Well the connection may be somewhat loose and indirect; but in fact internet marketing is using technology as a business utility by utilising today’s available internet technologies as a way of doing business and generating a profit. – So internet marketing isn’t all that much indirectly related to technology as one might initially suppose: It is, in a way. almost directly related to technology in fact.

- Surprising eh? But internet marketers, just like bloggers – and at this point let us not forget that many bloggers are internet marketers and vice-versa, myself included – are utilising the social power of current electronic communications technologies via the internet, to make a mark upon society. In the case of bloggers who are bloggers only, and have no commercial desire to add to their blogging exploits, they are imparting and sharing knowledge, information, and, in a way. leaving a legacy on the internet. In the case of internet marketers who are also bloggers, they are doing exactly the same thing, in addition to which they are generating an income while doing so. – That’s the only difference.

Having said that, there are maybe a few blogs that are seriously over-commercialised, and that focus solely on selling product to the detriment of the impartation of value, content, and information; but even these are, to some extent, within the above description.

So it is with this in mind that I seek not to over-commercialise this blog, but to, at the same time, impart information, and most of all impart value.

With the above in mind I am soon to bring to you a chance to gain great value in an indirect way from this blog: You may or may not be aware of the Shopping Arcade which I run as a part of this blog. It’s currently closed for refurbishment, but over the holiday period I’ve had a massive discount-deal running. – Basically a giveaway where I’ve been giving away all of my previous online publications if the customer buys a business-oriented course called 3 Day Money. (If you’ve purchased 3 Day Money through this channel, but haven’t been emailed the free stuff yet; don’t worry – It’s coming.

Let David Risley teach you the basics of a six-figure problogger business in only 3 days. The course includes 14 videos, and has a 92 page transcript, checklist, and audio podcasts of all modules included. Download my FREE 5-page .pdf report on 3-Day Money

That offer’s now finished, and the Shopping Arcade is temporarily closed… But not for long: I’ve just been made privy to some insider information which has set my mind running with ideas. Let me explain some more:-

Since July 2009 I’ve been enrolled in a 6-month course called the BlogMasters Club. You may have seen the logo in the footer proudly stating that “I am a club student”. I think I’ll display it again below this paragraph, since I’m short on pictures. (I slightly adapted the original logo to make that badge and offered it the BlogMasters Forums. Unfortunately it hasn’t caught on yet.) Anyway; to make a long story out of an even longer story, as I tend to do at times, I’ve been slogging away at this and studying since that time.

Although I still have, at time of writing, another 2 modules to start, as soon as they are presented; – I can say with great confidence, based upon the 14 modules that have already been presented, that this course is well worth the fee, and some.

I’m not going to ramble on about it any longer here; but I’ll just state that if you are interested in knowing more then take a look at the notice I’ve put up in the Shopping Arcade’s foyer, and standby for my announcements in the near future. You’ll see these on the blog, and on social media such as Facebook and Twitter.

For now that’s all from me. Please excuse the fact that I’m running a bit behind with everything right at the moment, and therefore the amount of blog content and its type may suffer a little as a result. I’ll catch up in due course.

Now that the holidays are pretty much totally over; enjoy the rest of 2010. May the New Year and new decade prove to be a successful one for you; both with regard to tech success, and also to business success.
