This is my business of the week: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item;=330308155119

I’ve checked it out and the story matches up with the WHOIS and the ebayer’s history.  Judging from my questioning the website has a conversion ratio of around 0.5% – not so good, but I think the sales values should be quite high – anyways its only just over [...]

Well I wasn’t just looking for businesses for £30, I was just going through businesses for sale on Ebay and on Businessesforsale.com.  Businessesforsale.com has gone crazy by the way, lots more businesses for sale – obviously due to the recession.

Ok, so I’ve sold a total of 8 books now, unfortunately 2 of them were on Lulu and the royalties aren’t even worth the minimum payout, and there is no point in me trying to promote it because I can get more in royalties from Amazon.com – plus they have a better conversion rate AND [...]

Ok so I’ve had another look at Clickbank, I’ve found a product I think is ok so I am going to try and promote it.
At the moment I’ve only done a Google AdWords campaign, I’ve put it on a two day limit with £5 a day. I should get around 50 clicks in total [...]

Yep, I can’t believe it myself, I’ve sold three books so far…
I just hope it isn’t my friends or family hoping to point fun at me!!!
So that’s $19.74 I’ve made in the 10 days its been on Amazon.com.
Maybe I should write some more books… although lets face it, the rate of pay is pretty [...]

Well I decided to start a new blog, just for me – it’s more a personal website really.

So my book, An Unofficial Guide to Call of Duty World at War (not an affiliate link I’m afraid), has been published, its now available on Amazon in the US.  Quite proud of myself, now I just need to get some people to buy it!!!

It took about 6 weeks for the IRS to send me [...]
