Soap Opera

Of course it’s a perfectly natural reaction to think that we aren’t influenced by advertising at all – “we’re all too clever to be suckered into that”, “a complete waste of money”.
But such thinking is, of course, complete bollocks.
Although there is little more irritating and mind-numbingly dull as a Procter & Gamble washing powder commercial [...]

Fucking With A Scam Artist – Attempt 2.1

Well it’s been over 24 hours now since I responded to the scam artist saying that I was interested in receiving more information and I still haven’t received a response yet.
What kind of customer service is this?  I demand that someone tries to separate me and my money immediately.
Someone should tell these people that, on [...]

How To Make Money As A Shameless Writing Whore

Yesterday I promised to reveal the secret as to how anyone (well, within reason) can make money out of writing.  Since then, I had some second thoughts, thinking that I would be better off to keep my big mouth because I could sell these secrets for $19.95 instead.
Perhaps I will too, one day – when [...]

Marketing Is Bollocks – How to Blag a Job in Marketing (Part Two)

This is, sadly, the last part of my half-arsed attempt at writing my first book – the second part of how to get ino the field of marketing.
I know, it’s pretty pathetic that I gave up after less than 5000 words.  But here it is anyway …
The route I used was by pretending that I [...]

Marketing Is Bollocks – How to Blag a Job in Marketing (Part One)

Finally you get to read a bit of the content from my half-arsed attempt at writing my first book, which didn’t even get as far as halfway through the first chapter before I completely lost interest in it.  Hopefully my boredom threshhold has grown a little wider since then.
So here is the first half of [...]

Marketing Is Bollocks – (A Little Too) Foreward

Some more from my book that never was too be (becaue I was just too lazy to get more than halfway through the first chapter).
This time it’s the Foreward.  In most cases, I don’t know why people write them.  I feel that, as if to get my money’s worth from a book, I should read [...]

Marketing Is Bollocks – The Ego Has Landed

Another (small) piece from the book I started about marketing.
After writing the blurb, I went straight on to write about my favorite subject – me.
A decade ago, this wasn’t half as interesting following the madness that happened over the next ten years, but this is what I wrote anyway…
About The Author
Having the attention span of a [...]

Marketing is Bollocks – Cover Blurb

In my last posting, I said that I was going to publish the first sliver of a book I started writing about marketing – this was nearly a decade ago – before I lost interest and found better things to do with my time.
I am sure that most authors don’t really bother about the blurb [...]

“So What Is It You Actually Do?”

I hate it when people ask that question, or when I’m filling in some form and need to fill in the field labelled “Profession”.
Because I don’t really have one.  I usually just fill it in as “Company Director” or “Entrepreneur”.  I have heard some people like me call themselves “Serial Entrepreneurs”.  That does describe me [...]
