On my web travels I came across this great FREE screenshot tool which is an add on for Firefox.
It makes it so much easier to capture whatever is on your screen. The clickbank screenshot in the previous post was created in seconds. I have also used it to get screengrabs of my website traffic stats which is great when selling some of the sites I will be putting up for sale shortly.
I don’t know how I managed without it! There is also a Pro version which has an affiliate program, so you can promote and make 25%.

I have been told I must leave my laptop alone for the next two days by my lovely Wife. I know what is best for me so I will comply!
Seriously, Christmas is important especially if you are lucky enough to have a great family and good friends.
Due to my impending laptop ban I have been working like crazy on a new website which I launched today. I decided to go back to basics and remember what I did in August to make really good money from Forex. I have created another Forex review site (I will give details later) and this time I have been able to learn from my mistakes and lessons I have had from other people and forums.
The site is easier to read, has more graphics, good navigation and more importantly has php cloaked affiliate links which look much more professional.
I have removed all TIDs from my hoplinks, so I will not be able to know if the site makes more sales or not, but I have made sure the site has analytics etc from the start so that I can track keywords etc.
I have used a template from www.freewebsitetemplates.com which really do have free templates and they also give the psd file too. I have learnt a lot about designing with fireworks and CSS during this site creation, every day is a school day!
Anyway, must go. Laptop is being switched off in T minus 5 minutes!
Merry Christmas Everyone and a Happy New Year.

Apologies for the long period of time since my last post, there are several reasons for this, some private and some relating to me being busy with my day job and affiliate marketing.
I previously mentioned a desire to become a publisher and have taken some significant steps towards this with the purchase of a domain, content creation, analysis of competition and web design. My problem with this has been focus, I have done a bit of all of these things, but not actually completed anything other than the domain purchase! I need to take some time to focus solely on the activities required to complete this project, I think I may use some time off over Christmas to do this.
In the meantime I have also been attempting to keep on top of several significant product launches via Clickbank such as FAPTurbo, Forex Detector and PipZu, all high paying and generally converting well. One converted 1/10 from a direct linking PPC campaign! Made $160 from two sales! I wait to see what the refunds are like!
I have also been attempting to improve my Web Design skills by following some online tutorials for Macromedia Fireworks. I didn’t realise it’s capabilities which seem similar to Photoshop, but I have never used either in anger. I have also bought myself a new laptop as an early Christmas present, I will use it soley for Internet Business for tax reasons!
I will try to make more regular updates and give more of an insight into some of my Affiliate Marketing tricks.

I’ve been messing about with web design for about a year now, using Dreamweaver as my weapon of choice. To be honest a lot of the websites I have developed have been based on the Dreamweaver Templates and CSS. And all of them have been html based. Any wizzy bits have been javascript and the only php mysql has been limited to pommo.org autoresponder.
About two months ago I was stuck with one of my sites, I wanted to add an element which was based on the current date, ie display several dates that were 3-35 days prior to the current date. I asked the question over at nichechoppers forum and some very helpful guys gave me the full code but in php. I explained I had no idea about php. “Just add the code to the webpage and rename the file .php” Surely it can’t be that easy! It is.
I fully intend to learn about php code (a book is on the Xmas List!), but have done OK with just copying and pasting code and playing with it for now. It has been trial and error, but I have just added a fairly complex bit of code to a finance domain I have www.creditfor.co.uk It was a free script that I simply cut and paste which is a Mortgage Calculator. I then modified it for £ instead of $ which was fairly simple, but then got a bit carried away and added some simple expressions to show the monthly interest only as well as the capital repayment. Playing about with this really has given me a better appreciation about how php works on a basic level.
I am told there is a good website out there for php tutorials and help called tizag.com but I am old school and prefer to read a book, so roll on Christmas.
Get stuck in guys and try it out.
