Internet Marketing Meets Life…

Archive for February, 2007

In other words, what work am I doing. 🙂

I’ve finally finished one of my new projects, although two for this month are still “ongoing”, one I’m trying to get finished for launch on Monday, and the other I’m aiming for March 9th, so I’m a little busy.

The finished one is just a simple software application for recovering deleted files called WUndelete Pro File Recovery (www.WUndelete.com).

And as I’m a real sucker for punishment I’ve started another new blog (as well as The Best Bits) for sharing my IM (internet marketing) product testing results – IMTesting

The product that I’m working on now is actually based on something I enjoy doing myself, the MMORPG (online roleplaying game) World of Warcraft.

If you haven’t heard of it before, it happens to be fairly popular with over 7 million people playing across the world, so not exactly small..

And a lot of players are always looking for ways of “leveling” their characters or earning more “Gold” in the game, so I’m working on a small info product that shows how to do both.

The upside is that I can now spend a little more time playing the game as it’s “research” for my product, bu the downside is that I am actually having to do research in the game and test out all my tips, so it’s not as much fun as normal. I have to keep records and make lots of notes to make sure the tips are accurate and work.

I guess I’d better go and get on with it..

LOL!

Since I set up this personal blog I’ve seldom managed to post more than once a month, until this month, now this will be the fourth post for Feb, I must be getting in to this blogging thing..

🙂

So what’s prompted yet another post?

Well, I’m feeling a little tender today.

Irina had her Circuit Training Exam yesterday and I “volunteered” to be one of her “clients”, which also involved taking part in other peoples exams as well.

The exam was basically a 45 minute circuit training session and I haven’t been to the gym in six months so I was dreading it as I’m more than a little out of shape at the moment..

I was lucky, I managed to sneak away after just two sessions, but I’m still hurting in places I’d forgotten can hurt today..

The good news is Ira passed with flying colors!

Now she has just one hurdle left, her Exercise to Music Exam next week. The only problem is I’ve been “volunteered” to take part in that one as well. At least I’ll have some company this time, my good friend (and fellow sucker) Col (of www.WheresCol.com Fame) has also been “Volunteered” in to coming, so I won’t be the only one hurting the next day, although Col is looking a bit fitter than me at the moment.

I think he’s been training in preparation, sneaky git!

Hot Fuzz

The boys from Sean of the Dead have done it again!

We went to watch Hot Fuzz on Friday night.

Ira didn’t enjoy it that much, probably because it’s a bit of a “lads” film and so many of the jokes are somewhat “british”, although she did laugh out load at quite a few bits.

I on the other hand just couldn’t stop laughing, and so loudly I probably pissed off all the poeple sitting near me, although they all seemed to be doing the same..

If you liked Shawn of the dead you’ll probably love this, I reckon it’s even better, so go watch it!

🙂

Hmm, time for a catch up, it’s been a busy couple of weeks, when is it not.. 🙂

Last week my sister got back from a month “Down Under” visiting freinds, so we had a night catching up on things and looking through her photos. She’s got a swanky new digital camera, seems everyone’s got one nowadays and mine’s looking a bit old in the tooth, my wife’s mobile phone takes better pictures than my old digi cam.. 🙁

Anyway, as Tag hasn’t totally got to grips with her blog yet (traceygarrett.co.uk) I thought I’d upload a couple of her photos here.

Blimey, “roll on 2007” i said, and it is, it’s already Feb, I feel like i blinked and missed January all together..

I’m trying hard to remember what i did in Jan.

I did tidy my desk up a bit..

my desk

although it didn’t last very long, it’s already a mess again, an organised mess though.. 🙂

I’m thinking of tradin in my pc for a new one, I’ve seen one i quite like..

beer computer

cool or what, a beer cooled PC!

lol!

so what else did I do in Jan, well i decided i needed a new project that would get me out from behind my desk a bit, so I’ve started selling second hand books on Amazon, which is going quite well. I head out to charity shops a couple of times a week to track down some stock, then pop them on amazon market place and wait for them to sell. It gets me out of the house almost every day as I cycle to the local post office to post the packages when the books sell, so I even get some exercise rolled in, not bad.

Although it does seem a little ironic as I grew up in Hay-on-Wye, a “town” renowned for it’s second hand book shops. :0

I’m taking on another new project this month, I did mention it was going to be a busy year didn’t I..?

Most of my internet marketing business is based on promoting other peoples products or being a middle man for traffic and advertisers, so I’ve decided it’s time to start doing a few products of my own, and my paln is to have the first completed and being promoted before the end of the month, so i guess i’d better go get on with it..

follow the birds…

strange bird behaviour

see Gemma, birds don’t always stand in a circle..

My daughter told me this weekend that she keeps seing birds sitting in circles and it was spooky strange, although it may have been just starlings she was talkinh about.

Anyone else noticed strange bird behaviour recently?

Ah, what am I saying, I might as well be talking to myself (again), no one actually reads this stuff..

i hope..
