Alot of writers want to see their name in print, and I happened to be one of them.

Over a year ago, a friend of mine invited me to tag along to a marketing seminar, which led me to picking up a copy of Ferris’ 4-Hour Workweek. My review: 5 starts – check it out. You don’t really even need to read it, just check out that palm tree on the cover. I then attended a weekend Entrepreneurial Sprint, run by James Kenney,founder of the Goose, and I left raring to do whatever it took to generate an alternative source of revenue.

At this time, I started living, sleeping and chewing on constantly the same terms, over and over, HTML, XTML, url, permalinks, hosting, domain names, affiliate marketing. HTML, XTML, url, permalinks, hosting, domain names, affiliate marketing. HTML, XTML, url, permalinks, hosting, domain names, affiliate marketing. HTML, XTML, url, permalinks, hosting, domain names, affiliate marketing, feeling that the more I learnt, the less I knew.

Time for a new strategy! I became the proud owner of WordPress For Dummies, and soon to follow HTML, XHTML & CSS For Dummies. For me as a newcomer, the experience was like reading a book of programming code and then concluding that WP dummies aren’t so dumb after all. I then started Googling my queries, only to find 498,000,000 sites on HTML codes alone. It didn’t take long for my marathon stride to wane. Where to begin? Who to listen to? Who not to listen to?

And suddenly it became really clear: setting up a website, even a minisite, wasn’t easy. Nooooo! you can’t Create Your First Website By 3.45 This Afternoon.
