The Great Firewall of America

With all the commotion lately about Net Neutrality, file-sharing laws, and related internet legislation regarding copyright protection and net citizen rights, you may have heard of the Great Firewall of China.”

This government firewall has plagued the citizens of that country for the past few years, repeatedly censoring important world topics to the citizens of China, and been especially annoying to Google and other online advocates of free press and speech.

“Oh, you don’t need to read that…”

The Chinese government has taken it upon itself to block anything they decide is not acceptable to be read and browsed by their countrymen. The laws and stranglehold over their net citizens allow them to block websites from being accessed by any internet connection within their borders.

A glaring example of this practice is the fact that China, as a country…. BLOCKS GOOGLE. You know Chinese people love that their government does this for them. I mean, who uses Google nowadays?

Americans, prepare to be blocked

Now, in the same horrible fashion, the RIGHTS & FREEDOM of American net citizens are threatened as well.

The US Government wants to begin enforcing a bill that effectively undermine the freedom of the internet as we all know it. Without exaggerating, the Protect IP Act…. BREAKS the internet as we know it.

During a time when we should all be coming together to equalize things in the global economy and help spur the growth of things, it seems like a very broken approach that should not even be on the table for debate.

Help stop internet censorship legislation in the USA!

A year of change

2011 was expected to be the most profitable and productive year of my life. Beyond just making money and growing my companies, I was not disappointed. I learned way more than I thought I would.

I was catapulted into a year of change by several life decisions I made last year and stuck with. This led me to experience a lifestyle I could have never imagined, before living it. I had finally figured out how to make serious money online, and had no idea how drastically it would change my life.

Things I had been building and putting together for years FINALLY came together, and are actually up and running and growing on a large scale. It’s a wonderful feeling, and I think I’ve learned more about business from this year of living than all of my schooling and study combined.

The advertising network, Chase Clicks, is starting to really catch on in multiple segments of the web. My lead generation service is integrated with it, and growing steadily as well. It’s super exciting on this end.

By establishing and growing a solid base of internet marketing platforms, I feel that I’ll have a reliable promotional channel for my future ideas and projects. I’m really looking forward to bringing a massive amount of exposure to my network of businesses and websites.

Unlike most other internet marketers, and online professionals, this is my full-time career and I haven’t had a “day job” or anything that resembles one in over 5+ years. Most of my time is spent dialing in campaigns, refining web properties, and improving things on the network in general.

I do this because it’s my passion, not because I’m looking for a quick payday. I would do this for free if I could! I seriously enjoy my work that much.

Before I started focusing exclusively on my own projects, I was busy designing websites and doing graphic design before it was trendy.

This can be a blessing and a curse. A blessing in that I’ve always been my own free spirit, and have complete freedom to do whatever I want… and of course a curse in that I spend ALL of my “free time” focused on how I can make more money, more effectively, and continue to grow my businesses.

Luckily, the longer I’m in the business world, the easier it seems to get. As things continue to build, network volume keeps growing and the word keeps spreading. I’m looking forward to working with a lot of new marketers and publishers over the next few years and building things up to an extraordinary level.
