    Hi KC - Can't advise on millionaire attraction strategies :p ... but on the websites - separate ones definitely the way to go and why not have as many as you like? They will grow audiences in line with how much you contribute to them so if you want them to make money in any way then a strategy for updating is a good idea! I would stick with Wordpress unless there is a good reason to go to another platform (lots of your audience being there would be one). That way it is simple to update and to switch between them. I currently have 3 main ones for my business (doing different things), 2 for different hobbies and a host of legacy ones from my old job for different projects. Not to mention FB groups and pages. And you've reminded me that I haven't updated several in a while. Maybe I need to do the one a week strategy too! ;)

    Hi Miz! Yes, I was wondering about the audience already being there, I think thats really important - even on my personal blog, I had people wandering by and subscribing, who didn't know me. A weebly blog just wouldn't have that.

    You've got a lot of blogs :D are you keeping all of them?

    And while I was pratting around with swa gbucks this afternoon, I should have been paying my credit card bill, which was due today. I always pay it off in full, and I just got diverted, is all :( I paid at 6pm, and I think its in time - phoned the cc provider, if the money arrives tonight, I won't get charged. Don't know for a while.

    Its made my mind up though: I *do* want a Visa cc, and I'm going to open a new one, a cashback one. And I'm throttling right back on swa gginess, in favour of matched betting. Its as if they know, too, because I can't get logged back on to the website :rotfl:

    Morning!

    Still don't know if my cc company are going to charge me ... but I looked at my current account, and made a decision to repay a loan from myself that was to pay the tax due last July. So thats £500 back where it should be. And 8p too - the money I'd tidied away last week was due to have interest paid on it, and thats the miserable amount of interest payable, which shows how bad the rate was :eek: or it would, if I could remember how much was tidied away :o:p

    Tonight is Halley's Comet dust trail time ... I'm hoping Gonzalo shuffles on through, so I can have a peek :j And blimey, it might just do that, its lovely blue sky out there.

    So, list for today:
    - supermarket shopping, weather allowing.
    - writing.
    - keep checking up on cc situation.
    - set up a matched bet.
    - check on swa g place - I managed to order another tiny gift voucher, but the first one hasn't been delivered yet. Will fiddle around as I must, and then wave goodbye.

    - supermarket shopping, weather allowing.
    Nope, too windy. Am about to do an online order with Asda, that has £10 off.

    - writing.
    Or maybe I'm about to do this? :o

    - keep checking up on cc situation.
    Nothing yet. Barstewards.

    - set up a matched bet.
    This is quite funny. It took two calls to Ladbrokes to get my temporary password to my old account. Different address, different bank account, different email account, it was ridiculous. My name and d.o.b. are the same, thats it.

    Re-joined Betfair very easily. And they've given me two free bets :) On the Sportsbook - and they come up automatically, hurray. Have to be used within the next week, so I also needed to join another exchange (to lay them - are you following this, Goldie?) ... I used to belong to betdaq, but I actively closed my account, and looking at the dozens of emails (they overpaid me! it was horrendous trying to work out how to get the money back to them, so overcomplicated) I lost the will to live, so I'll be joining an exchange I've never had anything to do with.

    Had a practice, and it went well - with a free bet of £20, I found a bet that gave me back £19.29, in about 5 minutes :j which is great. I think Grumbler hates me tho :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: or at the very least thinks I should be banned from the matched betting board :o Truly, the guy knows so much more than me about it all, its actually difficult to communicate: like Stephen Hawking trying to teach the two times table :o:o:o

    - check on swa g place - I managed to order another tiny gift voucher, but the first one hasn't been delivered yet.
    Sent a ticket in, thanks to help on here.

    Okay. Asda might run out of delivery spots, so I'll do that now. Urk. When its all self directed, I need this diary to keep track of stuff :o

    I've been on Asda since I wrote the previous post! Passwords ... we need 'em, but oh boy, do they create their own problems. Still, delivery costs only 99p, and they pack it all and whatnot, *and* they give you £10 off at the moment, so my per hourly rate of pay must be quite high for that :)

    And actually, apart from the writing, thats all accomplished, as far as possible. I did try to do something in the garden, but I just hate gardening in such windy conditions, it doesn't feed my soul, so I came inside :)

    I'm encouraged - I have understood what you have written
    :T


    At least I have the basic premise of MB, so that's a start!


    Don't worry, I don't think Grumbler likes me very much either. One of the very first things I did when I joined MSE was to have a spat with him on the Banking board

  • I find the people on the MB board very scary I was going to do MB but I think I need to concentrate on my business atm and I don't think I can do both and I have my first stock arriving tomorrow it's going to be like Christmas has come early :)

    Well done KC for starting though very impressive.

    DTxx
