Wow has time flown! Thanks to Mr Affbuzz (my uncle), I was informed that it was my first birthday. I guess I didn’t realize because I hadn’t received any presents…I’m assuming you all have them coming in the mail?? Maybe there was a problem with the post service…cause I know you people are the coolest, most generous people in the world.
Time to reminisce.
I started this blog 12 months ago to use as a networking tool. I can proudly say that in that aspect, I’ve achieved what I set out for.
I can also proudly say that I have not made one affiliate sale from this blog. I know normally one shouldn’t be proud of not making any sales, but I wanted this blog to be a clean, green, marketing info machine and it’s stayed that way.
Ups.
- This blog has introduced me to many cool people in the industry.
- I created the Plenty of Fish uploader which was originally built out of my interest in having my own product rather than making money. It turned out to be very successful and I learnt a lot from it.
- The totally nutcase Photoshop images I have created have been a lot of fun.
- I’ve managed to come up with wacky case studies, that I would’ve never done without this blog.
- I have improved 10 fold with my writing skills. I still wouldn’t call myself a good writer, but I was woeful 12 months ago. I now know the difference between “your” and “you’re”. No more do I start all my articles with “It was a dark and stormy night”.
- I acquired the Facebook Ad Manager for a decent chunk of money.
Down (singular).
- Facebook lawyers shutdown the Facebook Ad Manager 6 days later. It was a very interesting time…I learnt a lot about people and the workings of Facebook.
The Future?
More e-books, affiliate links, free reports and reviews.
I joke.
I actually feel like I’m evolving at the moment…like a level 16 Bulbasaur thinking about his life as an Ivysaur. I’m thinking long term. I’m thinking product creation. Not sure what is in store but no doubt I will continue to bust a few case study moves or two.
Thank yous.
To the best readers ever! You make this blog happen.
I reckon if there were an “Amazing Race” for blog readers, Mr Green blog readers would totally smash other blog readers to pieces. You guys rock (yes even those of you who suffer from chronic A.D.H.D and only read the last 20 words of my 1000+ word articles)! If it weren’t for all the feedback, both positive and negative, I wouldn’t have had the will to make it this long.
I’d also like to thank Affbuzz.com. That site was one of the reasons I got more than 10 visitors a day. Affbuzz was the fertilizer for Mr Green’s tree of life.
Lastly, thank you to my mysterious editor, you know who you are!
Congrats and happy birthday to your blog! Your blog provides a great resource and definitely gets a few laughs here and there…
Good stuff!
Congrats Mr Green. Happy Blog Anniversary!
Congrats and looking forward to more post of your market killer techniques. Keep posting !

Happy Birthday Mr. Green
Just made my day, haha. " yes even those of you who suffer from chronic A.D.H.D and only read the last 20 words of my 1000+ word articles "
You've done a great job with the blog, and I hope you will continue to do so.
Haha, lets just hope for that. But just because your blog is so great, I think A.D.H.D reader's will be able to do it
I have been your royal reader for quite a long time, just love your stuff.
I really would like to see your own product launch in the future, will it happen?
Lastly, Happy Birthday to your awesome blog =)
Cheers,
Wyatt

Wow, a year already? A big congratulations to you, Lorenzo! Thank you for all the great articles, case studies, and shared knowledge. Your articles are always worth the time it takes to read them…even the 1000+ word ones. And your photoshop work has always proved to be entertaining.

Hey Dude
How are you? Are you alright? I heard on the news about an earthquake on New Zealand.
Hope you're fine!
All good here dude, I'm a decent while away from it all luckily!
Congrats on all the success Green! My favorite posts have always been the case studies where you prove that marketers don't actually know much about marketing
Moar pls!
I'm still waiting to see that dance of yours Benyonce…
It took you way less than a year to become the #1 AM blog, keep up the good work and lets see if you still have that spot a year from now

Probably the funniest line I've read all week:

Nice and congrats on the birthday.

Please put post "Banner Ads Fight To The Death (Fight 1)" back. Unfortunately Google cache doesn't have banners and landing page pictures from that post
Fixed, after killing a few people.
Good information, your job is really cool! Congratulations and much success!
