How I Start Web Businesses (Practical Considerations)

by Tim MNovember 17, 2009 Business

I thought I’d write a post about how easy it is to get web businesses started. I’m all for people having a shot at either hustling on the side of their real day job, or having a massive crack and deriving income from their passion.

I won’t cover how to find your market and so on; many people much smarter than me cover this elsewhere.

So read on for the plan, or, do what I do, and shoot first and ask questions later (could explain why I have 50 domains I’ll never use). If you blast away with the shotgun enough, something will stick, particularly if driven by a good idea. Failure is totally ok. Remember that.

Movember: fighting prostate cancer

by Tim MOctober 9, 2009 Lifestyle

See this? That’s Miranda Kerrr. “Tim, wtf has MIranda Kerr got to do with Movember? Nothing, she has nothing to do with it. You are using the Chewbacca defence.” Well, that’s where you’re wrong. Miranda Kerr? She dislikes prostate cancer too, look at Orlando! He sports a rather smashing pirate moustache. And you think that’s the mark of someone who doesn’t care?! You crazy!

Good Karma Capitalism – Why I Sold a Great Domain for Peanuts

by Tim MOctober 7, 2009 Business

recently registered a domain (that I had big plans for) and promptly forgot that I had it. After all, I am pretty bloody busy, and I have a lot of domains (I sometimes go into ideas overload and always secure the domain right away).

Anyway, yesterday I had an email hit my inbox from someone who is (probably) becoming a friend. Additionally, he’ll be doing some promo/affiliate work for me for my (Totally Excellent) Cycling Through France guide.
