10 step guide to selling your website

First of all, how NOT to sell a website.
Do not post a message on a forum like Affiliates 4U saying something like…
“I have a great website for sale, pm me for details”.
This will get you the least number of replies from interested parties because you will immediately miss out from any “impulse purchasers”. These are [...]

Rachel Elnaugh - Business Nightmares

I can’t get enough of business type books at the moment. After finishing “ProBlogger: Secrets for Blogging Your Way to a Six Figure Income” a week or so ago I went straight onto “Business Nightmares” by Rachel Elnaugh.
I chose this book as I’m always deeply impressed by business owners who have battled through adversity such [...]

FaceBook Ads - good example of targetting users via their profile

Last year I wrote about how I think FaceBook ads are rubbish, in terms of return on investment for advertisers. I still think they are but the ads themselves seem to be getting better at targetting.
Take this one for example.

It’s clearly targetted at people who are 35 (me) and still single (me) and it actually [...]

HungryHouse.co.uk Dragon’s Den investment falls through. The best thing that could happen to them?

Back in last November I wrote about online statup HungryHouse.co.uk appearing on the BBC TV show Dragon’s Den and securing a £100k investment from 2 of the Dragons for a 50% equity share. At the time I really couldn’t make my mind up if this was a good deal or not. It seems it wasn’t [...]

Willie’s Wonky Chocolate Factory - exploiting a missed opportunity online?

Did anybody watch Willie’s Wonky Chocolate Factory that just finished a 4 episode run on Channel 4? I love shows like this, shows that show somebody struggling to set up and run a successful business, entrepreneurs with a real passion for what they do. Anyway, the show follows Willie Harcourt-Cooze who’s single goal in life is [...]

Beginners guide: How to build an Affiliate website from scratch using WordPress

I get quite a lot of emails from people looking to build their first affiliate site and asking just how they go about doing it. So I thought I’d write a quick and easy practical guide for beginners to point them to.
First of all, let me explain why I always recommend WordPress and not Blogger. [...]

Promoting merchants outside of your niche

What a great headline for affiliates. JackpotJoy are now offering a progressive jackpot of over £771,000 in their Deal Or No Deal game.

So why is this good for affiliates?
Well its good for affiliates as the previous record payout on Deal Or No Deal was £629,000. So the new prize is really big news. And big [...]

Blog flipping, a great way to make money online

CashQuests.com has just been sold for $15,000 on SitePoint.
The blog has been around since December 2006 and in October 2007 generated $1390 in revenue, so based on that figure they achieved a selling price of around 11 x monthly revenue. So not a bad multiple.
What interests me is that in a relatively short amount of time [...]

Theo Paphitis is robbed of £200k for 30% of affiliate site Gaming Alerts in Dragons Den TV show

Theo, if you are reading this, I can save you £100k and get you 100% of a company, not just 30%. 
Maybe its me but I always see Dragons Den as a kind of “last chance saloon”. In other words if you business hasn’t grown organically or been able to attract investment from other sources then give Dragons [...]
