About me:
Fourteen years online now and nine years as a web designer / developer / SEM / Net Marketer.
I occupy a very unique position; in that I can design, I did the art school thing, I can code, I've been doing that since I was a kid, and SEO / SEM is childs play, I've followed the growth of the search engines and I know exactly what works and what doesn't.
I understand Net marketing and how almost every company with a website is building it wrong. ;)
When I first got online there were just 3000 sites! There are now over 80 Million sites and 1 Billion people and counting ..!
In my time as a designer / developer I've hand built, 50+ client sites. From single page only sites to huge database driven e-commerce monsters and I've picked up a few tricks in that time; you want bespoke Flash, video, audio, music (I'll even write you some), a database, CMS etc. on your site? No Problem. :)
Much of what I do now is Net marketing. I've been working from home, or wherever I choose, for the last seven years. ;)
To add to this, along the way, I've also developed a couple of software products; Pay Per Click Software, to help you manage, edit and format your Adwords keyword lists fast and easy, and Ad Injector, which will inject Adsense into the 'hotspot' in hundreds or thousands of article pages fast.
I have a number of sites that run on autopilot to bring in a residual income through Adsense, affiliate schemes and lead generation. And I have newsletters here's one; Adwords Tips, that'll give you some unique advice on getting the best out of Adwords.
On the flipside I do site design / development / Net marketing for a few select clients. I no longer advertise this service or my web design company for that matter, I don't even have a site for these services anymore. There's no need. :)
Outside of practically living online. I like to travel, I've been away quiet a bit recently, Barcelona, Rome, London, Abersoch (North West Wales) I go there quiet a bit and New York, I did a heli flight over the city back in January, crystal clear blue skies and we landed at sunset, excellent stuff =8-D, you must do it if you ever visit. I'll upload the video one of these days.
I love music (I've been working with a talented unsigned band), a good book, a great film, good food, good wine. Oh and a good drink down the pub. ;)
I could go on and mention my painting, music making and parachuting. My 8 years at Glastonbury Festival (before the BBC and Channel 4 ruined it by introducing it to the mainstream) and lots of other festivals (Reading, Phoenix, Love Parade Berlin), I've slept with the stars as my ceiling many a time.
I've done some heavy Clubing at the Hac, Megadog, The Herbal Tea Party and the original Acid / Techno parties.
Then there are my plans to buy an island! And of course the book... but I'll leave it at that for now. ;)
Thanks for stopping by!!
Add me to your friends now if you think we have something in common. ;)
BTW, if you message me or comment me and you don't get a reply it's not deliberate. It seems many of my messages back get sucked into the MySpace vortex never to return. :(
Who I'd like to meet: Net Marketers at all levels :) Don't be shy!..
Plus anyone that has a Joint Venture proposal for their product or may be interested in running a promo on the software I mention above. ;)

ok, next year in tuscany then, ha - be there! lol

I found that when you start thinking and saying what you really want then your mind automatically shifts and pulls you in that direction. And sometimes it can be that simple, just a little twist in vocabulary that illustrates your attitude and philosophy.
