We have a site that we developed with the intention of someday making a shop out of it. We did the site about 6 months and promptly forgot about it. Today I checked the […]

The right marketing question and answer
I had a terrific meeting this afternoon with a guy who will do very well with a business he has just started. He told me this story: A friend of his got a job in London with one of the huge, high profile advertising companies. On the first day he was called into the boss’ […]
You can teach an old dog new tricks
I’m the old dog, in case you are wondering! I visited a client today who has a web site in an industry I know well (resort accommodation).

So do […]
Speech to Tweed Valley Home Based Business Group
I’ve just come back to the office after a speech to the Tweed Valley Home Based Business Group and was asked some great questions. I talked extensively (that means I went on for too long – sorry Alison!) about web marketing, specifically search engine optimisation. A question asked was: “How do you know, as a […]
What a complete and utter load of crap
What a complete and utter load of crap – what really PISSES ME OFF about the crap written on making a web site profitable! I have three- (3) things to say here. And three- (3) things only. 1. I run a couple of web sites that make good money. So what you are about to […]
