When people ask me how they can make money online, I will occasionally, rather mischievously, ask exactly how much they want to make, because I know that, almost exclusively, I am about to be given a blank look and the slightly hesitant reply …’well, erm … lots’ Now, I know it’s a few months since [...]
The entire spectrum of Lowedown readers has everyone from experienced, multi-millionaire marketers right around to those who only got the idea about making money online last week … but regardless of your level of ability and experience, you could easily be forgiven for reading the title of this edition with a slightly raised eyebrow… After [...]
One of the more interesting birthday presents I have ever received was a pair of tickets to attend a sausage making evening at a rather fine establishment in London which also ran special butchery classes (well, you would expect me to go abseiling or flower arranging now would you?) 
Just like last week, I was flying to a European destination … just like last week; it did not go well at all … however, in sharp contrast to last week, apparently this time it was all my own fault… You see, it was regarded by those near and dear to me that it was [...]
Normally in the Lowedown, I will usually recount what I hope is a mildly entertaining event from my own experience to illustrate whatever particular idea I’m trying to get across … but last week when I flew to Italy, I had the misfortune to witness first hand the near perfect example of exactly how NOT to do just about EVERYTHING … and, put simply … if you run your own business like this bunch of clowns it’s only going to go one way…

I’m afraid I must announce I’m not sleeping well … not anything to do with my business (the New Year has seen an avalanche of orders – but more on that in a moment) it just seems my mattress is very much on the way out. Buying a new one would seem to be the [...]
The #1 question I always get asked… which, I’m sure you can guess is … ‘How do I make Money Online…?’ Well, the majority of Lowedown readers should be interested in something I have put together with my good friend Nick James, which provides a perfectly paced step by step guide to starting and building [...]
Over the last few months, you may have heard me refer to my-in-house chaps as my ‘Minions’ … I can assure you that it is all done with my tongue very firmly in my cheek, and it is a running joke that is happily embraced by everyone here at HQ. I’m actually proud to say that every one of them is excellent at what they do … as well as being, (just so they fit in with the rest of us) … ever so slightly odd…
If you have even the smallest amount of exposure to the news, you can’t fail to have noticed the recent events surrounding the capsized Italian cruise liner Costa Concordia, and you will also probably have seen the widely reported, and virally distributed, image of the Belfast Telegraph’s front page with the wholly inappropriate ‘Win a Dream Holiday’ advertising banner sat above the headline that was relaying the tragic news…
