I run a small website publishing business called Digital Internet. Our main project is Go Build a Website, which helps people learn how to use WordPress to build simple and functional websites.
The business started in 2007 after I left full-time employment as head of a 15-strong SEO/tech department with a leading online marketing company based in Manchester.
At the time, I had several websites making a few grand each month from AdSense and I wanted to see if I could grow the sites and the business further.
Everything went well for a few years.
Then everything changed.
- In 2011/12, Google updated its algorithms so some of my sites tanked. I lost heart and binned them instead of fixing them. Big mistake.
- People grew wise to this making money online thing and thousands more joined the party.
- Social media.
These days, I run several websites including:
- Dave’s DIY Tips
- Photobomb.net (I haven’t updated this one for years. I’m not sure I ever will.)
I also have a few more that aren’t fit for human consumption at this time.
On top of these sites, I have a couple more that I’m developing in 2019. One’s in the photography niche and the other covers personal and family finances.
If you’re interested, you can connect with me on Twitter or LinkedIn.
