Sunday July 22nd Updates!

Five Squids - put another few wee joke services on there to see if anyone takes the bait.

Comps - loads of comps done. Have opened a wee facebook account for comps only. Might have to do the same with Twitter. Planning a Comp Day where I can get 200 or so in the bag.

Createspace - I've signed up for an account at Createspace after reading an article by James Altucher. It seems this is the place to knock up Kindle Ebooks, and I've got loads sitting on the back burner.

Hargreaves Lansdown - I've also got a new Hargreaves Lansdown Stocks and Shares ISA set up. I've got £60 pcm set up to go into this account and I've selected to have all profits re-invested. Once there is a grand or so in this account I will purchase so high div stocks and then forget all about it for another year.

Ginger Beer - my 2nd batch of Ginger Beer is well under way. Supposedly you take half of the sediment from you original batch and then start a new jar. This seems weird to me but it seems to be working so far. My first jar made 2l of GB so I should get 4l from this lot. That means I should have some pass around and get some feedback on. Not sure if I will carry on unless the feedback is fantastic. The reason for this is that the drink isn't exactly cheap, and also isn't exactly healthy - you should see how much sugar you need to throw in.

Talk Radio - After listening to Alex Jones and "American Freedom Radio" a great deal over the last week, I have became more and more convinced that we have a gap in the market in Scotland. I put forward that recorded interviews with Scottish authors and people of interest would be listened to and would eventually lead to sponsors etc. As I flick through "The Scots Magazine" I see at least 12 new Scottish titles coming out every month. A recorded interview with one of these authors could be posted onto Youtube. If the view count gets high this could attract other authors to speak with you as a means of promoting their book. If this snowballed eventually you could broadcast via the net and attract sponsors and advertisers to the site. Nice little earner based on just having a chat!

RBS - paid another £500 off the RBS Credit card. It is virtually finished now. The monthly interest in only £13 and my direct debit is £120. Now I have lost that millstone I can divert the funds towards other debt reduction (see "The Automatic Millionaire").

Arbs - got the free download of "Rebel Betting" and I am majorly impressed.

Amazon - my Amazon sales are kicking on. Have done £50 this week so far. Remember my target is 3 months of £100+ sales before I start to look at FBA seriously.
