In case you were wondering about my comments on SSL the other day in my post on Third Party Payment Processing, I see that yesterday The Register ran an article called Thousands hit by AT&T website hack. You can read the full piece on their site, but I bring it up because […]

The girl at the docks said "I like British seamen."
I don’t know whether you’ve ever seen that example before, it was given to me by my English literature teacher a long, long time ago.
What’s that? You can’t see anything wrong with that sentence? Well, yes that’s right there’s nothing wrong with it at […]

When I started selling online just over three years ago, accepting payments online was a long way from ideal. You could either do it the expensive way, or you could do it the cheap way.The expensive way meant get a credit card merchant account and set up a secure website using SSL to […]

I read recently where one online marketer said he could sell 1000 copies of his new product over the next 12 months, and continue to sell it afterwards. But he preferred to limit the amount to 500 and sell them all straight away.
Then he could move onto his next project.
I can’t be […]

As I pointed out in another post, at some point PayPal have taken the decision to block any payment processing for anyone that they consider to be part of a pyramid scam, or even MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) which is a completely legal way of marketing your business.
That’s their business, and their […]

Do you use IMAP? Do you know what it is? Can you find any mention of it on your ISPs website?
I bet that for most people the answer to those questions is no.
IMAP was supposed to be the replacement for POP3, well, that’s what I was told by a techie years ago when […]

Well, it’s been nearly a week now and I’ve had plenty of time to play with audio. There have been a few new developments too - I’ve bought an Olympus Digital Voice Recorder (WS-200S), plus a few accessories. It’s very cool, and I’ll write a review of it soon.
In my last post, […]

I’ve added audio to my blog. Click the arrow to listen to me speak. (Yikes!)
So now you can listen to me as well as read, or maybe you can just listen while you do something else, and save a bit of time. Maybe my voice will annoy you like it annoys my […]
Last night I signed up for a marketing seminar here in the UK at Aston University in Birmingham.

I’ve often looked at the US seminars and thought I’d quite like to go to some of them, but being a "homebody" I’ve always thought it’s a bit of a jaunt for just a couple of days. But […]

After buying and then reading the Butterfly Marketing Manuscript TWICE yesterday, I went and bought the full bundle today. I just felt that after reading, I couldn’t miss out on the software, especially having seen (and bought from) sites that were built with the Butterfly Marketing scripts.
I’m NOT saying that the manuscript is an advert […]
