Yep, I’ve added a new category to this blog, Motivation + Multi Tasking. At the moment I’ve got tonnes of work I want to do and not enough time to do it in, although my deadlines are fairly flexible, I still want to get stuff done as soon as possible due to profitability. Last week [...]
Not sure what’s going on in the last few weeks but the number of submissions on all of my sites has dropped. The drop isn’t drastic, but what’s more worrying is that the percentage of spam submissions has increased dramatically. I now end up rejecting 40 to 50% of submissions. There seem to be a [...]
Since I’ve been looking at newsletters and customer engagement, its become apparent that I need to know more about my customers and potential customers. I was just considering one of my projects however, it makes sense to consider other projects which might benefit. About a year ago Blue convinced me that I should ask potential [...]
Program Design If you’ve been following me on twitter you’ll know I’ve been researching newsletters. Obviously a lot of the information out there is very generalised and its taken me a little time to reflect and digest.

I had a discussion with Blue several months ago and he was shocked, he’d paid for a year upfront and found he wasn’t using it very much and had difficulty getting some money back, if he got any money back at all. EE is like RentACoder its all about knowing how things work and asking [...]
I’ve spent a few hours today, with kids TV blaring in the background, designing a database and writing the data access functions. The key to a simple database, which uses two tables, is a date field which I call “Do Not Email Before” which signifies the earliest date when an email can be sent, I [...]
Well with it being the school half term holiday I’ve not been able to do anything too complicated or be at my desktop. However, I have managed to spend some time on my laptop. I’ve developed some vba functions for outlook which run in-conjunction with outlook rules. So I now have all my K program [...]
For the first time in a few months I’ve had a few software sales, I mean I’m not surprised that sales have been so poor, as I not done anything to warrant new releases and their marketing. However, I’ve had the opportunity to email a couple of customers to tell them about the free offer [...]
