Those three magic words ‘make money online’ appear in more places than Paris Hilton (almost). But to make money, do we need to spend money first?
I am generally reluctant to spend money online because ‘most everything is free: entertainment, information, videos of Paris’s extra-curricular activities, you name it. And there are many ways to make […]
Yesterday I announced my first AdSense check and decided to use the $114 to pay off my overdraft.
Today I un-decided that and instead invested the money back into the Internetz. I have purchased a Million Dollar Wiki page after reading about it on RyanShamus.com and JohnChow.com. I’ll tell you which page in a few days, […]

For a few years I was responsible for creating at least one e-newsletter a week for a company I worked for. The database grew from nothing to tens of thousands by the time I left (no, that’s not the entire population […]
I’m awake early again, looking out at a beautiful pink-orange sunrise and planning the next steps in my life while eating Weetbix and Marmite* (not together) and browsing my RSS updates. I am doing all this because I can multi-task although Timothy Ferriss calls multitasking a great way to disguise doing nothing.
Anyway, I was reading […]
Do rich people become blasé about money?
I ask because I was reading this article about big-time CEOs and the profit or loss they make each day depending on the value of their company’s shares. For example, yesterday:
