Not all are online, not all can be done in Australia, but very many of these 101 ways to make a few extra dollars each month can be achieved by any one of us. I've now got an idea to combine a few of them into one package!
White with Two

Using Twitter to Get Camera Recommendations
Hard to believe it, I have had a Twitter account since mid 2008. For a long time it was just something I looked at from time to time, not understanding how anyone could cross-converse in such a hectic and vibrant community. It looked (and sometimes still does) like a bazillion monkeys chattering over the top... Continue Reading →
Don’t Stop The Future: Blok IT!
I have a shed loaded with electronic waste that goes back 20 years. I have motherboards, sound cards, old cellular phones, cabling, stenographer tape decks and much more. Somewhere in there I have a 3GB box that is twice the size of a standard shoe box - I use it as a paper weight and... Continue Reading →
Baby Update + Photography
I'm not writing a lot these days as we are busy making our home ready for the baby. Yep, it's only six weeks away - so lots of changes need to happen.

From Free to Business Blogging

Email Marketing has Gone to the Dogs
Based on the contents of an email I receieved a few days ago, I begin this rant about inadequate email-marketing, plus the emotions connected with online marketing. For a long time everyone relied on free photocopy usage and the local retail windows to push their product onto the general public. As customers declined and costs... Continue Reading →
Donating Photography for a Worthy Cause
I am donating three framed photographs! These are from the 20 that I exhibited during my SALA 2010 exhibition, to a silent auction at my day job. One of my work colleagues at my day-job is participating in SuperCycle 2012. What is this all about? Most of us would know somebody who has been affected... Continue Reading →
The Power of Advertising on Social Media
As a graphic artist, I find advertising of my work upon social media is quite effective. Here is today's example of how much a little self-promotion can work: For the last few hours I have been updating my entire Redbubble Tshirt Collection. This has included editing a few works, changing fonts, adding text-shadows, plus lowering... Continue Reading →
Come to South Australia, Go to Kangaroo Island
There I was, working away at what I do best in the day-job office, when across the cubicle a voice was heard to say "There's nothing to do on Kangaroo Island!" - I was gob smacked because I know better. Thankfully I had someone to back me up, yet I didn't feel that we had... Continue Reading →
