How did I get here?

February 17th, 2010 · No Comments

At the weekend I was down in Valencia where I met up with the rest of the “Spanish Crew” (above), who I met at Ed Dale’s conference in Manchester back in November. While there was a social element to the meetup and we went to the MTV Arctic Monkey’s gig, a lot of it was [...]

Ed Dale, Coming Home and the Pomodoro technique

December 8th, 2009 · 7 Comments

OK, I was lying the other day – Ed Dale did NOT eat my hamster. And he isn’t evil – at least as far as I know. Dan Raine on the other hand… * Anyway, put on your anti-NLP shades** and certainly don’t buy anything from this blog.
Getting things done – the problem with working [...]

Evil Ed Dale ate my hamster

December 5th, 2009 · 1 Comment

I’m just about to head out the door for Franz Ferdinand, but I’ve been super busy this week after getting back from Manchester for Ed Dale’s seminar and there just don’t seem to be enough hours in the day to write down my thoughts yet.

Ed Dale’s Manchester Seminar and 30DC case study update

December 1st, 2009 · 4 Comments

Just back in Barcelona after visiting Manchester for Ed Dale’s Coming Home seminar. Great content, great people, loads of new contacts, tons of stuff to try out and direct access to Ed and Dan Raine.

Heading for Manchester

November 5th, 2009 · Comments Off

OK, I know, I know… my blog looks like it’s dead. Well, I’m still alive but busy on a variety of other projects.
This month I’m heading to the UK. Hopefully see my brother’s new sprog (if it’s landed) and then up to Manchester for Ed Dale’s “Coming Home Tour”. It’s three days of internet marketing, [...]

July 24th, 2009 · Comments Off

You’re always hearing “you just need to follow my course and you’ll make $10,000 an hour lying on the beach” from internet marketers, and no doubt doubt some people do make a fortune that way.

Facebook revisited

March 15th, 2009 · Comments Off

I’ve got to say I’m slightly amazed that it’s taken Ed Dale this long to delete his 5000 “friends” in Facebook in order to regain Facebook for himself, as he clearly didn’t follow his own advice from months ago.
I signed up with Facebook a couple of years ago I think, but could never get the [...]

Why podcasting beats video

December 3rd, 2008 · Comments Off

All you hear from the internet marketing gurus these days is video, video, video.
While video when done right can be highly effective and something I don’t use enough, there is also the danger of overuse. And that is certainly seen in the internet marketing space.
These days hardly a day goes by without receiving an email [...]

Internet marketing and customer service

November 30th, 2008 · Comments Off

I seem to have been busy with everything except doing any real work for a while, and the lack of new posts on my blog is indicative of that.

One thing I have done since the summer though is to go through John Reese’s Traffic Secrets 2.0 and Stompernet’s Stomping The Search Engines 2.0.
