That’s right, for 15 years the internet has paid my salary, bought my cars, my house and my gadgets. Yet it’s only now that I [...]

UPDATE 2: it’s a done deal. iPhone Source is now officially part of the Studiowhiz network – and what’s more, we are retaining Paul as a contributor (50% owner) & together we’ll drive this site forward.   UPDATE: great news – I’m in negotiation right now to bring iPhone Source into the Studiowhiz network of [...]

Guest post by: Paul Sanderson Hi all. Mr K is letting me ride his coat tails and allowing me to guest post over here at this wonderful place. A little about me: I’m a Pisces, 26, love long walks along the beach… oh wrong site… (Edit: Bl**dy oath, what sort site am I running?) The [...]

I’ve had a couple of things happening recently that have highlighted the issues faced when wanting to or needing too raise funds online and just how hard it is becoming to raise [...]

I thought I would try something. I’ve written quite a bit (well okay a little bit) on the site and was busy trying to promote a new post from the site each day. So I stopped, for a few days and guess what. My site traffic went up and looks to be stabilizing around the [...]

Well it finally happened. Dwindling traffic finally took it’s toll – that and I blew away all my old posts. I found an email in my inbox from TextLinkAds wondering why their system couldn’t find the posts on my site.
