Eterna

Having worked on my book this morning I realise more and more that it's about more than one central subject. It’s not just about my life and work online, tips and knowledge and how you might be able to avoid some of the mistakes I’ve made. It’s also about my...

All The Things She Said

A very good friend asked me recently about how his daughter might be able to make money from her Instagram profile, @britishthrowbacks. It had 73,000 followers. Less than two weeks on, it has almost 82,000. Amazingly, the account's only been up and running for five...

Keep the Fire Burning

Today's been a big day for development of the book. I got up extra early and pushed on with its organisation, before dragging it back on course after a few weeks when family and other work commitments had taken over, as they rightly should've done. To reflect on what...

Criticize

Sometimes it's hard not to criticise but this Instagram post tested me: So much wrong with this. Obviously I visited their website and bought two grand's worth of likes and followers. >>>Playlist<<<

Paint It Black

Jonathan Cooksley is a phenomenon. The most creative person I know, he's a dad, a designer, an artist and a successful business owner. He designed the covers of my books, Pazzabaijan and Mr Lizard, the Amp Media logo, and has drawn 13 free tourist...
