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) […]
How to run out of ideas for content.
When I built my fourth blog post and couldn’t think of a fifth, I realised I had made a mistake that most niche site builders make before they even open a word processor. The site looked good. The niche was real. There was a product to promote and commissions to earn. But within a week […]
The cheapest way to make a long AI video.
When you start adding up the cost of AI video tools, the numbers get uncomfortable pretty quickly. Text-to-speech, lip-sync generation, video editing, music licensing, each one seems reasonable on its own, but stack them together for a 10-minute video and you are suddenly paying a serious monthly bill for content that may or may not […]
There’s gold hidden in the digital dust.
If you have been building an online business for more than a year or two, there is a good chance your hard drive looks exactly like mine did last week. Hundreds of PDFs. White label reports, PLR bundles, products you bought during a late-night sale, freebies you grabbed and never opened. All of it sitting […]
I stopped making AI slop videos on purpose.
When I started testing AI story video creation, I expected to find a shortcut. What I found instead was a format with a serious consistency problem, and a decision I had not expected to make. If you have spent any time on YouTube lately, you have probably stumbled into this genre without realising it had […]
If the tool does it’s job, the rest is easier.
When I was stranded on the side of a highway with a thirsty Nissan and no funnel, I learned something that changed the way I think about every tool I use in my online business. I had bought a Nissan 2000 sedan out of necessity. My only vehicle had died and I needed wheels fast. […]
The traffic myth.
When more traffic stops being the answer Most people chasing better online results keep circling back to the same conclusion: they need more traffic. More visitors, more eyeballs, more clicks. If they could just get the numbers up, everything else would follow. But here is what this thinking gets wrong, and it is a mistake […]
How much money buys you freedom?
Most people searching for financial independence land on the same answer: you need a million dollars. If you have asked yourself how much money is needed for financial independence, chances are someone has already quoted you that number with great confidence. But when you sit down and actually run the maths, the million-dollar target starts […]
Claude told me my niche was rubbish.
When an AI tells you your niche idea is rubbish, you have two choices. Take offence, or take notes. I took notes. And what came out of that conversation ended up being a working website with 18 pages, built in a day and a half, without a developer, without WordPress, and without me leaving the […]
I only gave you 1 of 5 yesterday.
Most people trying to grow an email list are solving the wrong problem. They obsess over sign-up rates. They split-test opt-in forms, run lead generation ads, swap out lead magnets every few weeks, and watch their subscriber count tick upward. And when revenue stays flat or open rates keep sliding, they assume they just need […]
The email marketing metric no one talks about.
Most people building an email list are optimising for the wrong number. They watch sign-ups. They celebrate a spike after a new lead magnet. They stress about conversion rates on their opt-in pages. And when things feel slow, they go looking for more traffic, more exposure, more ways to get new names on the list. […]
