Interview with Fark Founder, Drew Curtis

When I wrote a post about the ‘Definitive Guide to Fark and Getting Mass Traffic‘, the last person I expected to comment on the post was the founder of the website itself.

How to Create, Market and Sell an eBook for Branding & Profits

These last few months have been pretty big for me, with the fact that I’m no longer taking on new clients (and ending work with current clients) I’ve been able to focus more time on the blog and helping others through the information I have to offer.

Apart from other sites that I run which help top up my bank balance, I’ve been in the business of creating and selling eBook’s, most notably to you guys with my guide to Online Reputation Management. In this post, I’m going to look at the exact steps I took (which you can replicate) to make a very tidy income and increase my authority online.
