Building a site from scratch

By Scott | May 4, 2009

I’m excited.  I can’t talk about the details yet, but it’ll be fun for sure.
Yesterday, I was talking with a friend about an idea he had for a niche business.  Basically, he needs a website setup, a blog built and a bunch of integration with various vendors setup.  These are all things that I do [...]

Get out of bed and write

By Scott | Apr 15, 2009

I’ve been trying to figure out a good ‘routine’ for writing.  I don’t think that’s going to happen.   I need to be realistic about what ‘routine’ means to me.
I’m not much of a ‘list’ person, though I should be.  When I start each day, I feel paralyzed by all of the stuff I have [...]

Why you (as an advertiser) should supply the creative

By Scott | Apr 2, 2009

I’m still in the process of getting this site going and need to fill out my collection of 125×125 ads on the right part of the layout.  Strangely enough, not many people provide pre-made 125×125 ads for inclusion on a blog.  That changed today.

By Scott | Mar 30, 2009

Create multiple landing pages for my new subscribers
Create a logo for multiple uses (i.e. website, letterhead, business cards, etc.)

Affiliate #2 APPROVED (Legal Zoom)

By Scott | Mar 28, 2009

I just received an email from LegalZoom confirming my new affiliate status.  This is a perfect example of just jumping in.
