Adam Ginsberg Launches ShortenMe.net

Adam Ginsberg launches ShortenMe.net – another addition to the long list or URL shortening websites.  What is ShortenMe.net anyway?  ShortenMe.net is a URL shortener.  URL shorteners transform ugly, long URLs into short ones that you can email without fear of them breaking – or include in Twitter tweets without using up too many characters. What the headings mean URL length shows how many characters (including the http:// at the front) the shortened URL generated for this site’s homepage was. The first figure is the base length (EG http://shortenme.net/ is 20 characters), the second number is the short code generated (this can vary from 4 to 6 characters at most services – popular services have used up all the 4-character ones already,...

Adam Ginsberg Success Stories

Does everyone make millions? No.  Is it easy? No. Do people blame others for their failures? Yes. One of my favorite quotes is: “It’s never the bus, it’s the bus driver”. Whether someone learns from me or some other “guru” online – and there’s...

Adam Ginsberg Speaking at Robert Kyosaki Rich Dad Events

Adam Ginsberg will be speaking at Rich Dad events in Sydney, AU and Auckland, NZ – featuring Robert Kiyosaki, the Best-selling author of “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” Not knowing about money, not what it is but what it can do for you, is probably the biggest and most critical gap in knowledge today.

Most people have never had any formal exposure to the fundamentals of this critical area of learning. How do you pick it up in later life? How can you be confident about what you gather in bits and pieces along the way? Thanks to his ‘Rich Dad’ who started teaching him from the...

Adam Ginsberg eBay Template Software: What are Auction Templates?

In October 2001 I created my first eBay listings.  I paid a lot of money to a graphics designer who created a listing template unlike anything that has ever been used on eBay. Those listings were the catalyst for what would become Template Optimizer – the #1 source for eBay template software. I’ve read lots of reviews online for Template Optimizer – most have been favorable and some comments not so positive. This will be true when anything is reviewed on the internet.  But, the simple fact is this: Template Optimizer 8.1, which was just released in Beta, is the most powerful eBay Template Software every developed and released to the public. This isn’t a review of Template Opitmizer 8.1, and doesn’t provide a list of all the new...
