A couple of weeks ago I told you about my content marketing experiment and, although it’s extremely early days yet, I thought a quick update would be good.
Remember, the experiment was to see whether I could start earning affiliate commissions off a travel site on which I did no paid promotions of any kind, at [...]

It may not be a big deal to you but it is to me.
After 2 years of work this site is finally on the first page of Google, out of 192,000,000 results, for the search term Online Home Business Tips.
And here’s the picture to prove it.
OK, I’m only at number 10, but hey – who’s [...]

Last week I mentioned that I’d been building a new travel site. It’s up now, and it’s an experiment with Content Marketing.
So here’s my thought process behind the site and the way I’ve set it up. Going forward, I’ll update you on the progress of the site as it grows and (hopefully!) starts to [...]

Some themes come with them already installed, but some don’t – even though your blog does have an RSS feed.
So if your theme doesn’t have an RSS button here’s how to set one up.

RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. It allows information to be syndicated – made available to RSS readers, blogs, websites or anyone who’s interested.

I saw a thread today on the Warrior Forum from someone having trouble inserting an image into a WordPress post.

I’ve just read Brian Clark’s latest freebie, Authority Rules.
Releasing a publication as good as this for free is, itself, a master-class in marketing on-line.

Thanks to my time and salary being cut by 30% at my day job, I’ve been able to work at home and focus more time on my Internet work.
