After three years of being a full-time college student and a full-time internet marketer, I am finally just one of the two.
It was three of the best years of my life, no doubt… but the best years are still yet to come.
Thank you to all of you who have supported me over the last few years. I promise, the best is yet to come, and it is coming soon.
Some shots from the big day:
On the right is my good friend Curt… he didn’t even graduate – he just snagged a cap and gown and walked around. He’s ridiculous… but he’s a good egg.
Had it not been for good friends and the encouragement of my mentors, it would have been hard for me to stay in school. Many times it was tempting for me to drop out in order to pursue a full-time internet marketing career, but I stuck it out and finished Cum Laude.
However, now my attention is shifting, as my time now allows to focus on projects that have been on the back burner (school always came first):
- Big, huge changes are coming to The Affiliate God – if you thought it was good before… just WAIT. I know that I’ve been quiet about it lately, but good things are happening… be patient, and it’ll be good… I promise.
- I’m going to be holding live teleconferences to answer one-on-one questions.
- College has forced me to live under the shadows too much… it’s time I broke out of that marketed myself more heavily. Thank Twitter for making that easier: http://www.twitter.com/RyanMoran
- On a personal note, I have no idea where I’m going to live. San Diego, back near school with some friends, Cleveland, Hong Kong…. who knows? If I don’t know by the end of the summer, I think I may let YOU pick… seriously. I may just do a poll that allows my subscribers to pick where I move.
My personal goals:
1-Month: Increase affiliate commissions by 50%
3-Month: Double Income and Relaunch TAG
Of course, I’ll be documenting the steps along the way…. stuff is going to get very, very exciting.
However, I could not have done all that I have done, nor could I continue it, without you. You have supported me for years, even back when I was a freshmen, showing your support and helping me sculpt my business. For that, I am very, very grateful.
Therefore, I need you more than ever in the next coming months. I need you to ask me questions, to come to webinars and teleconferences, to give me your feedback, to watch videos, and to learn as much as you can. My goal is to have successful business friends… the more internet success stories I can play a part in, the more successful TAG will be, as will all of the projects that we touch.
So please leave a comment and let me know what you’d like to see from me, k?
Other tidbits:
- I eat way healthy when I’m at home…. goji berries, acai, cacao, cleanses, the whole bit. It’s awesome.
- Seriously, where the heck should I live? I have all the freedom in the world, and I have no idea what to do with it.
- Small sites STILL kick butt on Google Adwords and in the search engines.
- Mastermind partners are gold mines.
- Should I do more Justin.tv broadcasts? I haven’t done those in awhile. Those are fun.
- After TAG is done, all of my IM-related sites are getting redone. SpaceBankers will get rebranded and re-released, Xtreme Rankings will get a makeover… everything. It’s gonna be tight.
- I go to bed earlier when I’m not up at night studying for exams…
Ok, enough ranting for now. I’m a college graduate, and I’m really excited to pour my heart and sould into internet marketing. It’s been like my side girlfriend for the last three years, and now I get to marry her. (It’s a bad example… sue me.)
Again, thank you to all of those who have stuck with me for years… this is just the beginning.
To our success,
Ryan

Congratulations, Ryan !!!!!
Hey Ryan,
Congrats! We are happy for your success. Thanx for all the info you have sent our way. We are a little outta the IM loop right now, but are hoping to be able to get back in again before too long. Best wishes as you go from here. Go with God!
