05 Feb 2010 Migration Away From GetResponse Is Beginning

A while ago – actually, now that I look at the dates – a long time ago, I said I’d had enough of GetResponse and would be moving away from them. I kind of forgot how painful that experience was, but it’s now time to get the ties. I’ve started the set of AutoResponse Plus [...]

When transitioning from full-time employed with a side-line in IM, to full-time IM or half-and-half, it’s important that you know where you stand financially before you make any major decisions. I’ve been doing this planning recently, so I thought I’d share my thoughts here. I’ve done this in an excel spreadsheet for convenience (see the [...]

I thought I was just getting old, and the spammers had cottoned onto the fact. (I turned 40 a couple of months ago). But no, apparently Aweber was hacked, and email addresses were stolen. Fortunately, I use a unique email for each list I’m on, so it’s easy to identify the list I should be [...]

I just received this mail yesterday, from BulkRegister, who were bought out by Enom but who now seem to be the actual front-end for Enom customers: Dear Andrew Peacock: Remember, take no action and we will process the renewal order and attempt to extend the domains and services for you. The following services in your [...]

I’m about to make some changes to the AYB Autoblogger, which means I’ll be raising the price from it’s current $30. The first change is to rename this version as the “Standard version”, and add the ability to import feeds in a wider variety of formats than is currently supported. So at the moment, the [...]

I read a lot of sci-fi/fantasy (although more sci-fi as I get older and bored of so many pointy-eared elf stories), and subscribe to Tor’s newsletter (“Tor-the-publisher” not “Tor-the-proxy-software-creator”). They recently ran an interview with an author, which I love as I think it contains a lot of insight for people working in this internet [...]

The 48 hour offer has closed, so now the product is only available at the standard monthly charge. My thanks to everyone who took up the offer.

Here’s a sneaky one to watch for. After just announcing that my “early discount announcement” list was discountinued, and updating the page to remove the subscription form, I had someone immediately join the list. I did some digging around, found their referrer, and they’d gone to Google’s cache of the site. Naughty person. So, if [...]

I’ve just updated the PromotionBot homepage to reflect the new monthly subscription charge, and sent out a subscriber discount to anyone who is already a subscriber. (If you’ve missed it, sorry, but that’s how the subscriber offer works – see the “Announcement List” box at http://www.automateyourbusiness.com/updates/ to receive news on future discounts). So if the [...]

I’m pleased to say that PromotionBot is now live. If you have already subscribed at PromotionBot.com, you should have received an email about it a few hours ago. If you have not yet subscribed, you’ve got a couple of days to do so. I’m about to go away for the weekend with the family, and [...]
