I think it’s time for an update

So it’s been a month since my last blog post, and even longer since a proper one. So, i bet you’re all wondering what has happened? This is definitely a long overdued blog post, yet life has just been so busy lately, i literally could not find the time to make a quick blog post.

Firstly, i have some new sites that have now brought my income back up. This is a good feeling, knowing how well i can control my own income and make it rise fast. This has been one reason why i haven’t updated my blog, as my sites are taking priority because i don’t see my blog as an earner.

I invested $x,xxx in a site and got a 200% return when the site sold just over a month later. That’s been great, after no work - it still amazes me, the power of investments and something i definitely want to do more in the future…

School has probably also been one thing taking up a lot of my time. I have about 2 months left of compulsory school, in that time i have my GCSE exams so i’ve been needing to revise a lot.

My brother and his girlfriend/soon to be wife are having a baby, congratulations to them :D

On another note, i promised a friend to plug their site :P

    GCSE’s are pretty easy in the end, are you not going to continue and do a-levels?

    You inspire me a lot lately, when I was making almost 5 figures a month I thought i was on top of the world and stopped caring. My 5 figures/month days are long gone today because of the army but the dream lives on.

    I have checked your blog noumerous times during the last 30 days and was disappointed to see no updates, Id love to see you write more on that site you flipped lately and your web dec. Philosophy in general.

    I have a good sum left from my good days that I’d love to capitalize, if you’re looking for an investor, Seoer and marketer hit me up, I’ll bet my mothers house on you.

    @Monty - Yep, i’ve decided to carry on with A-levels. Still debating about university, i’m fairly against it, but i’d love the social side. So, i may take a gap year after A levels and then do university.

    @Allen - Long time no speak! I believe you were the first ever commenter on this blog! 5 figures a month is pretty impressive, good job. I definitely want to write more on my blog, it’s just sometimes hard to find the time, especially as the blog is a very small project of mine.

    I’ll keep your offer in mind ;)

    Hey Eric,

    I’ve decided to no longer brand under ‘twoslice’… i’m looking for a new name for my network.

    Hey Josh,

    Good luck with exams, I have AS’s this year too.. I was 17 last week and I really envy you… Your work is great, and you’ve hit off exactly how everyone dreams.

    Maybe you can plug my upcoming venture sometime, who knows. I might have a chat with you on MSN about it, if you’re willing to give some advice?

    Great blog, thanks,
