Just reading my brother Bryan’s diary of cycling the length of New Zealand earlier this year. He describes how, after a hard day’s riding, he gives in and “does a Brendon”. What He Means Just figured out that doing a “Brendon” means stay in motels, rather than Youth Hostels. Eat in nice restaurants rather than […]

How I Made A HUGE Sale Yesterday……..And You Can Too
I made a decent sized sale yesterday and here’s how it went down. This old client and I met up for coffee. This guy has been a client of mine for years. We’ve done a little web work, a little marketing. Yesterday we talked mostly marketing. I said, “Okay, I’ll do some marketing for you.” […]
Now This Is A Trophy
A few weeks back my 2 sons (Jack and Harry) competed in a 5 member school team (4 students and a teacher) in the grueling 96 km Kokoda Challenge. The lads trained very hard for months leading up to the event and were pretty keen to win the school section (there were 66 teams competing). […]
And Big Bryan Sinclair Takes The Hard Road
Not saying us Sinclairs are the toughest/coolest people around, but that’s what most people would say! Just heard from my brother Bryan who has just finished cycling the length of New Zealand, including cycling up the world’s steepest street. Not a bad effort for a bald, old (he’s 50), unfit Tasmanian. Sure, being bald has […]
$10,000 For 1 Day’s Work – Here’s How I Do It
$10,000 for a day’s work is a ton of money. Would you like me to show you how I make – and you can too – that sort of money? “You betcha sweet ass we would, Brendon!” you say. “Heh, enough of the cheeky language….kids read this blog,” I’d say ;o) And then I’d get […]
Search Engine Ranking Timelines – Doesn’t Always Happen This Perfectly!
Here’s a pretty typical exchange with one of our clients. We’re trying to help her get Google to understand what her web site is about and to rank it higher for a very competitive term. The client is in the US and I call her “Client” (smart, huh?!). I’m the arrogant loud-mouth (“Me”) who essentially […]
South Coast Track Resource Site
After my sons and I completed the 84 km wilderness walk along Tasmania’s South Coast Track, we decided to pop up a web site with, hopefully, useful information for others looking to do this walk. The site contains: Tons of useful information Gear recommendations (including spreadsheets you can download) Over 180 photos Videos Much more […]
Everything Matters – Looking For Clues Not To Buy
A few mates and I are heading to New Zealand next year to ride motorbikes, booze and generally live it up away from the disapproving glares our our collective wives. Sometimes I write stuff with my fingers crossed, hoping to find that fine line between what’s funny/amusing/slightly offensive and what my wife might kill me […]
Gold Coast Accommodation Reviews Launched
One of the things that happens if you’ve been a web developer for quite some time is that you develop a whole range of skills in business, not just web development. It makes sense to develop your own web sites for a whole bunch of reasons: The cost of entry into a market is very […]
Who Else Wants to Double Their Turnover With 1 Simple Strategy?
My local florist leaves a ton of money on the table. They should be making double what they make now. Exhibit # 1: I ring up and buy my wife flowers on her birthday. They say thanks, take the order, get my credit card details and send the flowers. Job done (according to them). Exhibit […]
