Christmas, Business and RSS

Only two days left before many of us celebrate the birth of Jesus by exchanging gifts, eating too much and getting drunk. Most people will have finished work yesterday. I however will spend today and tomorrow doing some last minute work. I will then not be doing anything major until the new year.

The last couple of weeks have been extremely hectic for me working on a few fronts…

As you may have noticed I’ve made a few layout changes to the blog. This is to make it easier to navigate and read. Mainly it is to entice new readers. The original reason for this blog was afterall to help me promote some of my sites, so I need readers to do this! The changes should also make it easier for me to market. I won’t go into detail about the various marketing methods I will use just yet, but I should quickly mention RSS.

On the right you will see lots of buttons to add the RSS feed to a web based reader. Subscribing to a feed automatically downloads the latest blog to your reader or web based reader, meaning you do not need to visit this site to read it. Very useful if you regularly read several blogs.
Yaro Starak has written a great article - What is RSS and How Do I Use It? about this. I have to say thanks to Yaro, have taken some inspiration and ideas from your blog already!

I have also started doing some marketing for World Dating Partners, a site I have used very succesfully to build some of my own dating sites. If you are interested its worth a look. To give you an idea setting up a basic site takes a few minutes and with simple marketing can start earning quickly.

I have further been working on Affiliate Dating Sites. No great cosmetic changes to the site, or even a great deal of extra content. Just behind the scenes work. Talking to companies who run different affiliate programs, improving my statistic tracking software and putting a business plan to paper.

My other 2 website projects in development are moving forward. Unfortunately due to my time restraints the latest delays have been completely my fault. I need to work on some templates for one site, and fully review the other. Something I hope to do at some leisure over my Christmas break.
