I was born and bred in London and it's also where I work. I'm currently employed by a large IT company as an Infrastructure Engineer. I have been in the IT industry since 1994 and I earned my first Professional IT Certification in 2002 - the MCSE.
I'm married to Mesme and we have twin girls, Melissa and Jasmine who turned seven last October. Big girls now! They're starting to teach me a few things :-)
My goal is to have a thriving online business, one that is authentic and genuine; one that provides real value and of course one that does not involve spammy techniques.
Since I started my online journey in 2009 I have been a member of quite a few membership programs and bought no end of products, the majority of them promising almost overnight wealth and success. I suspect that I have been a victim of Shiny Object Syndrome. I am so glad to have found WA as they take a far more realistic approach!

Hi there Nick, thanks for following me...I've followed you back.
You have a great looking scamboxer site and a very interesting expertithelp site so well done there.
I've just had a look at your blog at expertithelp and realise I recently did what you are advocating.
I have a budget 2 year old laptop and it only had 2gb of memory. Before I came to WA it was barely adequate but I knew it wouldn't cut the mustard when trying to get involved in this sort of site so my local pc guy said the only thing I needed to do was get some more memory.....I bought an extra 4gb to give me 6b for 30 quid and all went well.
Trouble is, I'm already finding that with multiple tabs and windows open and my bookmarks filling up, it's slowing down again!! Would you say upgrade again and if so what do you reckon would be the minimum to have? Would be great to get your input on this.
Thanks
Mark

I love your profile. It took me while and money until I found WA. I just started and everything is still new and a bit foggy (just like London in January). It will all clear-up eventually, as it always does.

Phil,
Checked your site and I have the following observations:
1. The content seemed detailed enough to me and I liked the analogy page to help people grasp the complex material presented before them.
2. The site was clean and clear and there were no obvious typos.
3. I only saw one picture in my entire visit to the site, so I think a selection of photos would spruce up and improve the site a lot.
4. On the Order page there was no pricing information, yet it said the page would be ready by 2 January latest. That was 6 days ago.
5. I don't know how much you are proposing to charge but did you research the target market to see what they are charging?
6. The post on the Home page was not categorised at all. Perhaps create a few categories so that the content can be placed in categories accordingly?
Other than that, the site is coming along nicely.
Remember to post content regularly. Btw, have you requested feedback through the new system yet?
When the site is more developed, you can also head over to http://peek.usertesting.com for a free 5 minute evaluation by a random tester.
Hope this helps.
Nick
PS Can I ask why you requested I look at your site and give feedback?

Thanks very much!
The completion date was my typo (meant 2-1-2015) and I'll fix that.
Price was mentioned on the Refund policy page. I'll add it to the Order page.
I do not know how to research a target market. ??????
Categorizing the Home page sounds like a good idea too.
More pics will be added eventually.
Requested your opinion due to your IT background.
Thanks again!

Hey, just left a comment on your expertithelp.com site. Great niche. I never did know the real diffrence between free and paid for anti virus, just knew that paid for would be better.

Hello NickyB: Can you tell me about the plugin that you are using on your website. I read about it in a comment that you made somewhere else. This plugin; does it actually take your posts and put them in at each social media that you are using? Please advise asap. Thanks. Rene

Hi Rene,
The plugin is called Super Socializer but I don't believe it takes your posts or anything clever like that. As far as I am aware it allows visitors to share the article using a plethora of social media channels. Actually, one of the feedbacks I received commented that the sheer amount of social media buttons is overwhelming and I see what she means so will probably change it to something else, or see if it can toned down a bit!

Nick, I see you are making some good progress through the Affiliate Bootcamp. Just wanted to pop by and see if you need a hand with anything?
I also wanted to mention the success rates of Bootcamp. Absolutely everyone that has taken action on all of the phases of Bootcamp has a business that is generating consistent income online. MANY of these folks are going to be at our super affiliate conference next year.
I want this to be you and I want you to succeed with your promotions. So, please promise me that if you ever need a hand or feel stuck as you move forward, that you will get in touch with me!
Trust me, I know things can be a little overwhelming sometimes and I don't want you feeling like that.
Anyways, just checking in. Get back at me if you need anything Nick.

Hi Mashal,
Apologies for the very late reply to your question, "What is the Shiny Object Syndrome?".
Shiny Object Syndrome is that situation you find yourself in when you see something advertised that promises to cater to your every whim and appears to tick all the boxes and is so very attractive and appealing (usually these products are priced at the $97 mark, or less and the marketers of them know this sum will not break the bank) that you cannot resist buying it, despite the fact that you know deep down inside that the product will not do what it says it will. The urge to buy though, is so great you feel overwhelmed - then you feel helpless and compelled to take the plunge and... out comes your credit card!
An example of a Shiny Object Syndrome type product could be, say "SEO Turbo Booster Profit Maximiser" (I just made that up off the top of my head) and it will claim to "get your site ranked on page one of Google within ten days or less - just sit back and watch your PayPal account swell with profits!".
This scenario typically applies to Internet Marketing / Make Money Online purchases aka IM/MMO, but I guess it can be applied to other situations too - a new tool, say a Power Drill when you already have half a dozen.
Hope this clears it up a bit!
Nick

All the best to you and your family and if there's anything I can help you with, let me know.
