Welcome, this is for you.
What you can expect from this. Updated 28 Nov 2019. This will be a collection and collation of the information I have gleaned from all over the Internet. Why is this of interest to you? If you have any interest in generating extra income, no matter how little, from a home (or away from home) […]
A new skill in 4 steps.
When most people decide to learn a new skill, they picture months of study, practice, and grinding through tutorials before they can do anything useful. And for a long time, that was roughly accurate. But the fastest learners I have ever come across do not work that way at all. They identify the 20 percent […]
I’m giving this away for free (probably shouldn’t)
When a single image adds a full second to your page load time, you are quietly bleeding traffic and rankings without ever knowing it. Most people who build websites spend hours getting their content right, choosing the perfect photo, writing the headline, tweaking the layout. But they upload a 2MB image straight from their phone […]
AI tools are getting worse, faster.
When you pump a river full of sewage, the fish downstream start to suffer. That is more or less what is happening to AI right now, and if you use these tools to build your online business, you need to understand why. This is not a scare piece. I use AI tools regularly, and I […]
Your BHAG is useless without this.
Most people who set big goals never reach them, and it is not because they aimed too high. It is because they stopped at the goal. They wrote down the dream, pinned it to the wall, maybe told a few people about it, and then waited for motivation to arrive. When it did not show […]
You don’t need the skill, just the buyer.
Most people assume you need a skill before you can sell a service. What if that assumption is wrong? This is the core idea behind a business model that has been operating quietly for decades inside every agency, consultancy, and media buying firm on the planet. It has a new name now, and a much […]
Hobby hustle for weekends.
When most people hear the phrase ‘side hustle’, they picture late nights, complicated software, and a steep learning curve that puts them off before they even start. But what if the simplest side hustle you could run this weekend involves nothing more than a smartphone, a trip to your local op shop, and a stack […]
When a bank robbery goes right, and wrong.
When a 70-year-old man walked into a bank to get arrested on purpose, something unexpected happened. He failed. Not at the robbery itself. That part worked. Lawrence John Ripple handed a note to a teller at the Bank of Labor in Kansas City, Kansas, collected $2,924 in cash, and then sat down in the lobby […]
Email isn’t dead: It’s the only traffic you control.
When Google decides you are no longer welcome, your traffic disappears overnight. When Facebook closes your account, your audience is gone with it. When Amazon suspends your seller profile, your income stops dead. This is the reality of building a business on someone else’s platform, and I have watched it happen to real people over […]
Using FOMO the wrong way.
Most FOMO marketing tactics have stopped working, and here is exactly why that happened. If you have spent any time on email lists or browsing online sales pages, you have seen the same script play out hundreds of times. A countdown timer ticking toward zero. A subject line screaming ‘last chance’. A sales page insisting […]
Your thinking is getting in the way.
When most people talk about making money online, they focus on strategy, tools, timing, and tech. What almost nobody talks about is the thing that actually stops most people cold. It is not a missing strategy. It is not the wrong niche. It is the thinking. Overthinking is the silent killer of online income. And […]
