Growing My Audience

In the last couple of weeks, I've been making a real effort to blog more, tweet more and generally just be more visible online. I've just been aiming to do more personal brand building. To achieve this, I had targeted two areas which needed serious improvement: 1. I need to

500 Startups' Killer Content Strategy

Since 500 Startups - headed up by Dave McClure - announced its new Accelerator program [http://blog.500startups.com/2011/02/10/boom-goes-the-dynamite/], I've been following their blog [http://blog.500startups.com/] where they've gotten the founders of their startups blogging about loads of different things.

Chapters by WooThemes

WooThemes has just released the design (by Tim van Damme [http://timvandamme.com]) which I used to promote & pre-sell my book, Rockstar Business [http://rockstarbusiness.com].

New Rockstar Business Website

Hot new website for my upcoming book - Rockstar Business [http://rockstarbusiness.com/] - which will be self-published in August 2010. The idea of the site is to release two teaser snippets (from the book) every week; so building some hype & momentum for the release of the book, whilst I

Switching to Tumblr

I’ve been enjoying my tumbling content on here ever since I switched to this design (which is built on a standalone install of WordPress) late last year. To be honest though, considering that I was situated alone on my own island, my tumblog content was never gonna have the

Idealism for 2010

For the last two and a half weeks, I’ve had basically no access to either my Macbook Pro or the interwebs, which meant that the only way I could collect some of my thoughts & ideas was with old-school pen & paper. Fortunately though, my new fetish is my Field Notes
