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) […]
The email subject line got the click.
When a congratulations email from a software platform you barely remember signing up to lands in your inbox, it has a way of stopping you mid-scroll. That is exactly what happened to me recently. IFTTT sent me a message celebrating my seven-year anniversary with their platform. Seven years. And my honest first reaction was: really? […]
I’ve been reasonably productive.
When a new law lands that forces every digital product seller to offer a 14-day refund policy, most people shrug and say fine. But there is a problem buried inside this EU refund policy compliance requirement that almost nobody is talking about, and it has serious consequences for anyone selling online. Let me explain what […]
Why you need a swipe file.
When you finally write a headline that makes people stop scrolling, it rarely comes from nowhere. Most of the time, it comes from something you saved months ago, a subject line that made you open an email at 11pm, a sales page that had you reaching for your credit card before you even realised what […]
The “16-Year-Old Makes $3k/Month Easily” Story (And What It Left Out)
When a print on demand business story goes viral, it usually skips the part where the numbers don’t quite add up. This one did exactly that. The headline read something like: “16-year-old turns memes into $3,000 a month with print on demand.” Free traffic, AI tools, a bit of consistency, and a teenager running a […]
Before you can walk, you have to crawl.
What crawling teaches us about building anything that lasts Before a child takes their first step, they spend weeks on all fours, rocking back and forth, figuring out how their own body works. Most parents see this as a waiting room for the real event. But developmental psychologists have found something extraordinary hidden inside this […]
Successful people never win the lottery.
If you had to name the one thing that separates people who build lasting success from people who stay stuck, most would guess it’s talent, or timing, or money. But here is what I have noticed after years of studying this: it comes down to choices. Specifically, the habit of making small, deliberate choices every […]
You don’t need skill to start.
What if I told you that every successful person started exactly where you are right now – knowing nothing? This beginner getting started guide isn’t about complex strategies or advanced techniques. It’s about the one thing that separates those who succeed from those who stay stuck: taking the first step without needing permission, skill, or […]
If you’ve ever started strong and faded out…
When passion meets procrastination, the procrastination always wins. I’ve watched this play out thousands of times in my 20-odd years building online businesses. Someone discovers a new traffic strategy, gets excited, maybe even sees some early results. But six weeks later they’re onto the next shiny object, starting from zero again. This pattern isn’t laziness. […]
If a 1987 sales solution still works, you should use it.
When a tired furniture store owner in 1980s Nebraska started writing customer answers on index cards, he had no idea he was creating sales FAQ cards that would transform his business forever. He was drowning in the same questions day after day. “What size will fit?” “Will this match my room?” “How long will it […]
How to built it so they do come.
When I first started building websites, I believed that famous line from Field of Dreams: “If you build it, they will come.” I spent months crafting what I thought was perfect content, polishing every word, making everything technically sound. But here’s what happened: crickets. No traffic, no engagement, no audience. Just me talking to an […]
