Quick, easy, FREE web-design tools

There are three things that typically get me pretty excited:

  1. Finding free tools that let you get the results you want
  2. Getting the results you want without having to invest days learning.
  3. Not having to purchase a whole suite of programs just to do one tiny thing.

Of course these aren't the only things I get excited about, but you have to admit it's pretty cool when you find tools that do what you want without the posturing, the diva demands, the huge entourage and hefty pricetag.

The Reese Report

The Reese Report

There are a lot of internet marketers out there who hard-sell new products they haven't even checked out yet. It's a bit of a dirty practice -- Basically they just take a look at the sales copy for a new product and think, "Oooh, that'll sell well!", and go out and start promoting with dollar signs in their eyes.

Hi everyone!


I've decided to do a video blog this week, firstly to get some feedback from you guys on this medium in general -- Do you like the video blogs? Are they groovy? Are written blogs groovier? If this one goes down well then we might try making video blogs more regularly.

The other reason is that I thought it would be nice to show people what lies beyond the Affilorama login box. I know there are a lot of people reading this blog who aren't Affilorama members yet, so it's a...

The wedding, the honeymoon, the iPods?

The wedding, the honeymoon, the iPods?

Hi everyone!

Michelle and I are back, all married, honeymooned and (reasonably) rested! Everything has been just so absolutely wonderful, I don't even have words for it. It was a fabulous day ... I forgot my words and dropped things that shouldn't be dropped, but Michelle got it all perfect! And then it was just friends, family, speeches and celebrations and ridiculous dancing from there on in. I couldn't have asked for better!

I just want to thank everyone for your kind wishes and comments...
