So I have decided to give up freelancing and forge a career in a ‘proper’ job where one works 9 till 5 (or to 6 in some of the meaner companies). One of the first questions potential employers ask (well, ok, the 4 billion or so recruitment agencies) is…WHY?! Incase any potential employers are reading this, let me take a moment to explain why I want to move from freelancing to a ‘proper’...

Today I’m proud to introduce a new “proof of concept” website that for the time being I am calling Kabizzle. Why Kabizzle? No idea, but that’s not what’s important. The important thing is what it can do. You see, Kabizzle has been born out of my frustration of managing and tracking all the PLR products that I own. PLR, for those of you that are not in the know, stands...

A couple of months ago I launched a massive portal site called HYIPJunction. It had been in development for over 18 months and as I had mentioned in my previous blog entry it was a complete project disaster. In the end it was decided to take it live and open it up to the public with all the bugs and see how it would get on. Two months later and I want to come back and look at how the site has got on...

One of the online marketers that I respect and admire is Jonathan Leger. He is a software engineer turned internet marketing pro. The reason I keep tabs on what he is doing is because he comes out with some really great products such as the Article Wizard and he writes fantastic informative posts over on his blog. A recent post that caught my eye is his one about creating a niche content site case...

A website called LiveBluesWorld.com that I worked on nearly a year ago when i was in India has finally gone ‘live’ today. After around 10 months of development I’m pleased to see that it has finally been launched. The website is a mega-portal for all things in the Blues music genre. My input was to create the original mockups, offer advice and recommendations on the features and...

Can it be true? Is the British summer finally here…just 2 months late? After having Mother Nature throw everything she has against most of England with the miserable weather we’ve been having lately it seems that summer could finally be raising it’s head. Here in Brighton (it’s my new home) the last few days have been absolutely gorgeous, in the mid-high 20′s easily. This...

I’ve had a few good days recently. With the launch of the easyCMS site on Sunday, I made my first sale from the site on Monday (yeah, it’s only $14.95 but considering I wasn’t even going to sell the software it all counts!). So far the reaction seems to be positive but I need to do a bit more work in creating a nicer default design. The next bit of good news came on Monday evening...

And that’s why I have introduced easyCMS to the world today. easyCMS is the combination of 3 months of development to create a CMS that is targeted at webmasters and internet marketers looking for an easy way to create dynamic adsense sites. easyCMS Promises To Make CMS Easy (yeah, we’re still working on the slogan!) I’ve always felt that a CMS should be about managing your content,...

Finally, after 18 months of development, thousands of man hours working on this project and tens of thousands of dollars later…HYIPJunction is launched to the world in a glittering and star studded launch party that…oh wait, there was no launch party, that was just Paul and I cracking open a couple of cans of beer to celebrate. Launch HYIPJunction will now take it’s place as the...

This article is about an outsourced programming project that I’ve been working on for the last 18 months and discusses all the things that went wrong and offers some advice to any would be project managers thinking of outsourcing their programming project. If you don’t want to read this case study on how the project was a disaster and just want to read my top tips for outsourcing success,...
