How Do I Find Out if I Have a Keylogger on my PC?

Posted by Daniel St.Pierre on Jul 27, 2010 in Business Post, Web Venture Post, Work Related Post

Keyloggers are stealth programs that record some or all activity on a computer, in most cases without the user knowing he or she is being watched. Keyloggers are typically adware programs installed as part of a computer virus, to steal personal information, or as a readily available surveillance program are used to keep a close eye on employees, a spouse or child.

I have used some type of keyloggers in the past to catch an employee as he violated company policy stealing software from the online vault. It turns out our star coder (and previous employee of the month) was also a Napster guru, illegally sharing over 160,000 MP3 songs using company computers and bandwidth.

TGIM – 30 Pounds Lighter, I Can Almost Levitate!

Posted by Daniel St.Pierre on Jul 26, 2010 in Personal Post

Another splendid weekend came to an end way too soon in the sunshine state. Splashing by the pool under a perfect canopy of green oak leaves, the girls, Lizzy and I enjoyed a most glorious Saturday and Sunday.

Though certainly enjoying life as a disciple of Jesus Christ, I find myself under attack by the enemy, tempted to the point of near collapse at times. But through the Holy Spirit, which gives me strength, I meet each challenge head on, unwavering as I continue to advance the gospel through all means possible. Through all means plausible.

So comes Monday, an opportunity to tackle work related challenges. This Monday featured email marketing, internet marketing consulting, web design, CMS management, and even a few sales related projects that popped up unannounced.

Oh yeah… Did I mention I now lost 30 pounds!!!

That’s right, for 3 days straight the scale has been undeniable about my weight, flirting with 168-169 pounds.

On a modified Daniel Fast, I drink fruit and vegetable juices throughout the day. I also drink 40-50 ounces of water per day. Add multi-vitamins and supplements, 1 protein shakes per day and you’ve got yourself quite the wait until sun down when all foods are fair game.You get one meal, so better make it count!

I started out at about 200 pounds just a little over 2 months ago. I’m blown away by the immense success I’, experiencing and pray God will strengthen me to keep the weight off as I strive to honor the temple He’s given me to serve Him.

Throwback Friday – Glenn Kaiser’s Fly Away

Posted by Daniel St.Pierre on Jul 23, 2010 in Personal Post

It’s been a long work week, 5 full days of putting feet to visions, of reaching for the stars, of meeting or surpassing goals. It’s almost the weekend, why not share in worship with Glenn Kaiser who delivered a timeless rendition of his song live the first time I heard it. It was not only moving, it was redefining.

Because I feel ever so slightly shaken, but certainly not stirred, I seek both refuge and courage through worship. The time, possibly 3 years ago?G The place, Calvary Chapel St Petersburg. Glenn ROCKED the house… Care to join me?

I hope and pray you will enjoy a wonderful weekend and continue to seek the truth in your life and that of loved ones. May God bless you and keep you safe under His watch…

How to Make Phone Calls With An Apple iPod Touch (iTouch)

Posted by Daniel St.Pierre on Jul 22, 2010 in Personal Post

Too many rumors are going around about a revolutionary new VoIP technology that allows iPod Touch users to make free phone calls anywhere in the world needing only free Wi-Fi and a $3 microphone. The same technique also works on Apple’s iPhones…

Here is how I make calls on my iPod Touch (OS 2.2.1)

Step 1: Download the Free Skype Application from iTunes

Step 2: Create a Free Skype account

Step 3: Purchase this $3 Apple device ready microphone adapter and use your existing earphones, OR purchase a set of original Apple iPod Touch or iPhone earphones with inline mic.

Step 4: Launch Skype on your iPod Touch or iPhone

Step 5: Login Skype

Step 6: When within Wi-Fi range, Dial Away!

There are countless ways to achieve the very same result however, Skype seems to offer better quality. At less than 3 cents per minute anywhere in the world, including video calls, Skype continues to be a #1 choice in my book… Enjoy!

Recommended Hardware (choose either one):

Apple device ready microphone adapter, Only$3.00 on Amazon >>

Original Apple HQ Earphones with Inline Microphone $64.95 on Amazon >>

Email Marketing Homerun

Posted by Daniel St.Pierre on Jul 21, 2010 in Business Post, Web Venture Post, Work Related Post

I have been involved with email marketing since the mid 1990’s.Back in ‘97 I had my finger on a button which when hit, would send out over 5 Million emails at a time. I’ve seen some mind blowing ratios in my days, but nothing like an email I sent earlier this week promoting an otherwise worthless Private Label Rights eBook.

baseballIn a rush for a product to sell, I recommended my client “resells” one of his ebooks’ Master Resell Rights since the product had fallen dormant over the past 3-4 years.

Since the package he purchased 5 years ago was intact and complete, it came with a turn key website and sales material. I completed the setup in only a few hours at a cost of $300.00 to my client. Add the cost of the original product purchased for $37.00 in 2005 and you have a total investment of $347.00. Following me so far?

The email was scheduled to go out early Tuesday morning, but uncontrollable circumstances delayed the email blast to 4pm that day. This ETD was obviously WAY outside peak times.

Amazing Results, A Homerun?

A few minutes before 4pm, approximately 11,400 emails went out. Within 24 hours, the “newly invented” $47 product generated over $2,500 in sales. Though only 260 people clicked the link in the email (0.23 percent open & click rate), the sales page I brought back to life with modern copy converted 49 visitors into sales out of the 260 recorded visits, a conversion ratio of 18.9%.

That’s right, about 1 in 5 people purchased the digital product. That’s AMAZING!!!

I don’t know about you but I am very impressed with selling 1 product for each 5 visitors I send to a web page… Looking for similar results? Inquire within…
