Big Brother Wants You To Smile… Why Don’t You? I was reading a Twitter thread the other day. In it, the guy – who I can’t find now, but will update if/when I do – was saying that he’d researched the Twitter algorithm and found a bunch of weighting factors for whether your tweets get…
The Results Are What You’d Expect The site needs a clean up, reorganisation and probably a lot of content removed for the sake of maintaining a high quality web presence that aligns with the journey I want to send you all on. One of the first articles I wrote on this site was titled, “SEO…
Another quick one while I do the planning bits. I’ve recently been writing about the Capture the Flag Exercise and social platforms. I sat down today to write an email autoresponder for the blog bits with the idea in mind that fifty emails would probably be enough for an autoresponder. In the past, I’ve always…
Capture The Flag I was thinking recently about quantity versus quality, and also, on a separate note, the Niche Site Challenge that I ran a few years back as a project for this site.

Who Are Your Audience And What Do They Want? I gave the game away with the subtitle, but here’s the story to go with it. I have various projects on the go. As I’m prone to overthinking, overplanning and over-reliance on developing systems, these projects tend to get more complicated in scope as time goes…
Where Freelance Writing Fits Into Your Financial Plan When I decided to start blogging again, I spent a long time figuring out the direction we needed to head in. When I used to write the blog, I was a freelance copywriter, and outgrew that. This presented the problem that a lot of people follow me…
(Also Part One of an Untitled Book I’m Writing) Yesterday I promised an article about “making unlimited money” which, looking back, is a bit ambitious. However, rather than complain, I’m going to deliver. As I’ve mentioned a few times before during this run of daily posts, my approach to business has changed a lot in…
Starting A Project Stuff… Today, I laid the groundwork for starting a new, as of yet unannounced project. (Don’t worry, it ties in well with the Vault and other projects; it’s not another “to-do list thing that’ll never happen.” Probably.)
