As regular readers may know from my last post I was a little disappointed at how things were on my site in general. I’d neglected it and not paid enough attention to it.

Well, “paying attention” is exactly what I’ve been doing recently - to my site; to my themes; to things that matter.

Having a chance to re-group, here’s a list of the top 5 things I’ve been doing recently:

1. Re-designed Site, WordPress theme and Content Ideas
2. New free WordPress Christmas theme for download
3. FAQ-Tastic and FAQ-Tastic Pro: News Update
4. Top Secret e-Book Project
5. Rich Schefren's Attention Age video contest

Attention Age video, FAQ-Tastic Pro, Free WordPress themes and more »

Regular readers of my blog will know I’m a big fan of Rich Schefren. Earlier this year, I had a blast in Florida learning how to treble my reading rate and getting the inside scoop on how Rich run’s *his* business. I learnt a great many things at the Accelerate seminar.

And the most powerful things I’ve learnt from Rich at the event this year was “How To Focus”.

Again, reader’s who’ve stuck with me for a while (Lord knows why ), will know that it was after the Accelerate seminar that my site really took off (well, had a radical facelift and completely changed). I’ve now been in the process of completing work and not getting distracted.

Why am I telling you all of this? Because Rich Schefren has some very powerful tools that could change your perspective, mindset, career and even way you see life.

And the best bit? He gives excellent advice away for FREE!

I’ve been ill.

I still am.

My cough just doesn’t want to shift at all and I’m rattling more than an old jalopy… I’ve had more than just a cold - stomach problems but, really folks, let’s not go there!

Anyway, today’s the first day that I’ve felt like doing a proper post - it’s been a while. I had a few partially written but I think they’re off their sell-by date now. If you’re lucky and I feel up to it, I may finish them off and post them anyway…

So… what’s being ill got to do with Internet Marketing? Well, quite a bit really. What's Internet Marketing got to do with Illness anyway? »»

It’s been an interesting week.

It’s been one of those periods where it’s been necessary to take a step back, re-assess the current situation and re-double my efforts. Admittedly, not much has really been done this last week. Not for the lack of trying. Or the lack of enthusiasm. Sometimes the universe just delivers a whole heap of junk mail and you just got to sort out the essentials from the spam.

It’s time to start re-focusing on what really matters. And what really matters right now is Excellence…

To kick off tonight’s show, I’d like to start with another little clip from Bill Hicks… (Get used to it people, he’s a major influence and you really got to listen to what this chain-smoking, dead guy is saying!).

Internet Marketing Excellence? Play from the heart >>

What’s a four letter word, ending in K, meaning “intercourse”?

I’m sure I can guess pretty much what most of you are thinking…

Four letter word, ending in K meaning "intercourse"... It's obvious, isn't it?

I recently watched Die Hard 4.0. It’s a good movie if you’re into that type of thing. Thankfully I am, so it made the evening a very pleasant one indeed!

The thing is, I didn’t go to the movies to see it.

I watched it completely free from an online video stream… Die Hard 4.0 free movie link? Keep reading!

Knowledge Constructs is back. Or should I say “I’m back”? Better, stronger and more focused than ever. Coming back from Rich Schefren’s Accelerate seminar has definitely had a positive impact in my state of mind. But it’s not been as easy moving forward as I’d imagined…

You may have noticed the change to the site design. What you won’t have notice is the change in Attitude. Yet. Keep reading…

There’s going to be some big changes round here - so you better get with it or Get Off My Blog!

Let me just say, this post you’re about to read is definitely NSFW (And if you don’t know what that means, GIMF!). No more G or PG rating. It’s time to take off the gloves and pull no punches… A drastic change to our site strategy. Why?

I have a confession to make (don’t you just love that opening line?). A couple of months ago, I’d never even heard of Michel Fortin. I couldn’t even pronounce his name as I couldn’t work out if it was “Me-Shell Four-tuhn” (as it appear’s French in orgin) or just plain “Michael Fort’in” (Americanised). I had no idea who he was or what he did until I got an email from my very clued up Internet Marketing friend, Saumil, in India…

Basically, I’d just released this plugin (an update are coming soon, I promise) and I get this email from Saumil saying how this guy Michel Fortin had written a very nice review about FAQ-Tastic.

My initial response was like “Cool! …uh, who’s Michel Fortin?” and his reply was along the lines of “ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?” (okay, so I’m paraphrasing for dramatic effect here!). He went on to explain how Michel’s actually really big in the copywriting niche and has a huge list and usually charges for reviews - so basically I’d already made my money back on the plugin I’d commissioned!

Nice.
