I’m sure many of you are getting sick of these ‘coming soon’, ‘quick update’ posts, as I certainly know that I am. However, I can’t leave the blog without updating for yet another day. I leave you with a very quick message:

PSDFan is coming. Soon. It will be awesome.

Thankyou for your continued patience and support.

Ok, this is getting ridiculous. I’ve been so busy and had so much client work on that my personal projects have dragged on far longer than expected. Another main reason for the delay is that I suffered a major creative block trying to come up with a design for PSDFan.com However, I was evidently feeling creative today and managed to finish a really nice looking design for the site! It should be ready to go live really soon and then this blog may actually see some activity!

The whole waiting around period really hasn’t left me with a lot to write about. However, this site is going to really take off if all goes to plan and it will also have 3 sister sites that I’ll be focusing on over summer. Launch expected in a couple of days!

Summer has finally begun! Time to make blog posts. Time to work on web stuff. Time to get rich (I hope!). I’ll be blogging about my many summer projects here over the next few months.

First up…

DiscoverUnsigned.com has had delays in development and album launch but should relaunch within a week and see the debut album go live.

PSDFan.com is about to be started on in Photoshop by moi - I’ll try and get some opinions on the design right here before launching it officially.

Other sites include:

A Wordpress themes shop

A VERY useful resource for bloggers

A coding tutorials site (really a sister site to psdfan.com)

And that’s just to start things off. Of course I don’t want to give myself too much to start with - so the priorities right now are my design clients, discoverunsigned and psdfan. After that will come the coding tutorials site, and then hopefully the theme shop and blogging resource. Then I have a few more site ideas up my sleeve.

My plan is to be making $2000 per month from advertising alone, as well as cash from designing for clients. On top of this will come the profit from selling albums via DiscoverUnsigned.

More updates soon when these projects get off the ground!

Well it looks like my little experiment with BuySellAds.com was a good one. Within a few hours I’ve secured my first advertiser.

The first ad spot goes to Adrian of Rubiqube. Not only am I grateful for his support, but his site rocks! The fact that BuySellAds is only running on an invite only system right now seems to have attracted a much better quality of advertiser. This is great for bloggers as personally I dislike advertising for products/websites that I don’t think are any good.

I’m just off to have another look at Adrian’s website but my first impressions are an awesome design, and some really well written content. His content seems especially relevant to my audience of bloggers/designers, so please go and check it out!

If you want to take advantage of my low introductory ad prices then please click on the ‘advertise here’ image in the sidebar. This really is the best time to purchase ad space as I’m planning on really growing the site over June.

I also couldn’t recommend BuySellAds enough. The whole service is entirely automated, meaning that instead of having to worry about getting advertisers I’ve just installed their lightweight script and that’s it! I just checked my inbox to find that I’d got my first advertiser and have been paid automatically.

More updates coming soon (after exams are done).
