I apologise if this week’s eletter is not as comprehensive as usual – I’m just about to dash off to Berlin for a few days. The trip coincides with the Wales football game in Austria so I’ll be popping over the German border to visit Vienna too! We discussed Christmas a little bit last week. […]

You may be aware of Automated Amazon Profits, my course from several years ago that centres on Fulfilment By Amazon (FBA).

I am often asked if it is still possible to purchase low cost books in bulk to start a new venture selling them online. Now, due to my new way of working, I rarely go out and purchase hundreds of books like I did in the past. In fact these days I rarely even go […]

If you have been waiting with bated breath to read my eletters over the last few weeks, you can now – finally – breathe again because here it is! I know it has been a while since I was last in touch – I did warn you there would be a break due to my […]
