Building a Legitimate Online Business – Two Years On
Its been two years that we’ve been based in Perth, two years since I got my partner to agree to support me while I developed my online passive income business – he asked how long – I said Christmas… In fact this was the blog post on my long-defunct blog of the time: I think [...]
Online Income: One Simple Secret to Success
OK this is a bit of a follow up on my recent post on clueless bloggers. It probably reflects that I’ve been spending too much time on the HubPages forums recently too and I have decided that online there is a single reason why most people don’t make money online, and why online income remains [...]
Can You Make $1000/month With Adsense?
The title of this post is a quote from a question which was posed by an new writer over at hubpages – the question was naive – the questioner probably actually wanted to know how to make money online, or even how to make passive income online, not with the specific Adsense program. The reality [...]
Using Twitter for BackLinks

So Why this Blog?
One of the common methods of assessment at university is to get students to keep a “learning journal” – I hated the dammed things – used to write the thing at the end of semester after the fact. It was good idea used inappropriately. I find as I try to learn this bizarre world of [...]
