The Return of Self Made Minds

smmbrain

Firstly I’d like to welcome you (back) to Self Made Minds, an entrepreneurial blog where we share the various activities, ideas and stuff we’ve been involved in. We’ve had something of a hiatus from this site, where Scott and I have been up to various business and life experiences and changes. However Self Made Minds is now BACK…

For new readers my name is Al Carlton, I own and run numerous websites and have made a healthy living online for the last 7 years or so. The last couple of years most of my sites ran on auto-pilot giving me a nice passive income and I was able to travel (some what excessively) and get myself married twice to the same woman in different countries, all fun stuff.

I’m now at the point were I want to start concentrating again on my business and as I did early on, document my successes and failures here on Self Made Minds. Scott will also be providing updates various updates on what he’s been up to the last few years.

Some of the upcoming posts that we have planned include:

  • Losing a 6 figure revenue stream (this one was scary)
  • Do you need to register for VAT, the procedure and outcome of a VAT Compliance Audit
  • Profiting from generic twitter usernames
  • Maximizing mobile traffic and profit
  • Optimizing your email list with WordPress

As before we will be very open with what we do. If there is anything you’d like us to cover or have suggestions (or encouragements) please let us know in the comments.

The best way to follow Self Made Minds is via our email newsletter, however we’ll also link to all new posts from our twitter account and facebook page, so what ever suits you best.

WELCOME BACK
