My linkbait coaching program starts on Monday, 16th of June. Applications open at 2pm, it’s on a first come first serve basis.

I will be teaching all I know about putting the kind of content together that when put on your website attracts large amounts of links. These links help with your rankings in Google and helps you to get traffic to your website.

If you don’t know much about linkbait I wouldn’t advise you join as it is going to be quite advanced.

I am really excited about this as some great people want to join, it’s limited to only 20 people as I will be working quite closely with the members and provide a very personal service.

“My uncle won the lottery and dropped dead. Two weeks earlier he’d divorced his wife over an argument about peanut butter: crunchy or smooth?”

My entry to the copyblogger.com, twitter writing contest.

Wouldn’t it be interesting if I could get a book deal off that sentence. Normally I wouldn’t bother because novel writing is so poorly paid and overrated. But, the challenge of getting a first novel on the basis of a sentence is juicy indeed.

To me my paintings are motivated by emotion. They are doodles, the paint pushed around until it finds its place. They are not of a thing, they are of a mood. I expect most people not to like.

Been doing a lot of interviews lately, I thought I would get them all in one place.

Lyndon Antcliff interview at Distilled - regarding linkbait
Lyndon Antcliff interview with Michael Gray aka Graywolf - regarding local search
Lyndon Antcliff interview with Hobo SEO regarding linkbait and social media marketing
Lyndon Antcliff interview with Kelvin Newman regarding social media marketing and linkbaiting

Most of the interviews are about my linkbaiting exploits. If I find any more I will add them.

I like to think you never really deal with death, rather it deals with you. You have no control over it, only the time and manner. Dealing with the death of a loved one seems the hardest thing in the world. You don’t really understand what sadness really is or it’s depth until you have experienced the death of a close one. Taken away and never to return.

OK sure, depending on your religious belief you may think a number of things may be going on. I think the one where everyone is in white and hangs around on a cloud is the hardest to believe. I this much, we are all stardust and death does not change this. Read More →

It happens less and less to me, probably because I am too busy doing stuff to realise the sublime nature of creation.

I first read about the perfect moment in the Book swimming to Cambodia by Spaulding Gray. Read More →

What is it about focus that is so important? Why must we be so concerned if focus is something we lack?

I know that I am more successful at a task when I focus. Concentrating like a laser beam on the task in hand increases the chances of completing the task. Probably more than any one thing.

If we want to improve our ability to complete tasks we must improve our focus. Read More →

How much do you desire your goals?

Desire is the fire in your belly that will get you where you want to go.
Desire is one of the first steps to take towards any goal.

But not just any desire, this desire must be powerful to move mountains, or at least YOU!

Your desire must be able to modify your behaviour if you expect to reach your goal. For example, if your goal is to lose weight and your desire to achieve your goal is not strong enough to stop eating the wrong food, you will not lose weight. The key to this is your desire. Read More →

Are you a glass half empty kind of person?

The phrase is used to describe pessimists and people who have a negative outlook on life.

I have from time to time been described as a glass half empty kind of person. Read More →
