Yes I have made my first purchase with my hard earned cash! (I cashed my first cheque today)
venetian-masks.net
Yup I’m hitting the venetian masks market – bit of a niche huh? I thought I’d start with something easy to practice my SEO skills. I didn’t think I could find an affilliate product for this – but [...]
So my first cheque has arrived – woop woop!
The amount is for $72.38
I can’t really buy much with that, so I’ve decided to invest it and use my “skills” to make the investment grow.
My idea is to:
1. Choose an topic to create a website about
2. Find an affiliate product to promote
3. Research a keyword I [...]
So I created myself a Facebook ad campaign, hoping to bring in more buyers for my book. Unfortunately it was a big disaster – my CTR was 0.17%!!! I got one click in total, I doubted that I would get a good conversion rate so I axed the campaign. So now my total is down [...]

In the meantime I’ve sold more books, I’ve sold around 22 books now, and I’ve got $131.60 to play with.
I was speaking to a friend of mine at work, Anthony Shapely who [...]
I know its not many, but its not my family or friends buying them (thank god)!
So I’ve sold 19 copies, 2 are with Lulu – which means I won’t get the money from them, the rest are with createspace, totalling $118.86 so far. Not bad, unfortunately I get charged $8 for requiring it in a [...]
David has setup Ping.fm – now his Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Blogger, Hi5, Website and Flickr account can all be updated at one place!
I just looked up about reputation management with Twitter and this story came up top:

It’s definitely worth a read. I’m going to start slagging any companies that do me over!!! NTL is one of them, but I guess that’s old news now (but I still wake up in the middle of the night in a [...]
