How about a good old fashioned Freebie?
This is one I am certain that a lot of people can use. It's a failry large collection of mostly professional looking clip art. Those little badges, ribbons, icons, buttons, seals, arrows.... I could go on but you get the point. Awhile back now, back in the days when you could still sell digital...

Clarifying things for benzinha and others
This should give everyone a better idea of what I am talking about when I refer to template concept images. I started with the image you see below which originally was just an outline. I happened across a banner in one of my image collections that fit into the color scheme so I dropped it on top of...

I know it is an early update but it has been 9 hours
I can accomplish a lot in 9 hours. I've taken the software I am re-developing as far as I am going to go before I hear back from the copyright owner. For the time being I dropped one of my splashpage ads in front of all inbound links. What the script does is allow webmasters who need an expiring...

Cybor Junk can be valuable junk sometimes as well
By "Cybor Junk" I mean that bevy of countless digital products that have been widely distributed or used in viral campaigns and are at the end of their lifespan. Admittedly most cybor junk has little value if any in straight monetary terms but "value" is not always measured in dollars. Some of the...

Waddya do with the dummies?
Regardless of what you are selling and regardless of what the price of your item may be, if your market is the general public, there will always be someone that has expectations that cannot possibly be met within the profit margins of the product. This is especially true online where stupid people,...

Many myopic dreamers are found in business
Every individual that tries their hand at running a business must learn many things the hard way. Even with a business education, only experience can teach some things. This reality produces a steady stream of dreamers entering the business world, people that think they know but in reality do not...

My dripping tap is dripping but ever so slowly
I just relisted my first dripping tap project on eBay which brings to completion my first 10 days (it was a 10 day listing) of this effort. If you remember, the project involved using the first weekend of July to revamp my template for osCommerce, put it on auto download and then set the wheels in...

Some changes to this blog .. . . . . .
It was time to remove the last of my old basic blog templates but I didn't want to lose it's look completely. If you remember, the old template had the following color scheme. I took the image above, then cropped, tinted, stretched and manipulated it to use bits and pieces. Then I dropped the bits...

Still dipping my toes but with purpose
I have a purpose for slowing down and absorbing the next phase. There is a huge learning curve facing me, one that may take a mere mortal man a semester to abosrb. I hope to advance through 101, 201 and 301 in a relatively short time frame but also avoid those embarrassing retreats that are...

The Dripping Tap Principle - next phases
I ended up finishing my last project a few days ahead of schedule so I took some time to promote it and think about the next dripping tap project. My junk business is dead this time of year (mostly by design), it is a good time to do things such as this. The next phase of the dripping tap principle...
