About

My name is Zee, I live in the UK and am a programmer by profession. The focus and content of this site is simple. It’s about me and what I get up to online, more specifically I focus on the art of developing, running and selling (aka flipping) websites. From case studies of my own projects to general articles on web development, marketing and web design you’ll find a whole array of useful topics published on a weekly to monthly basis.

What This Site Is Not

Indirectly this site is about making money online but my intentions are not to talk about hype or simply brag about how much money I make online. In fact I promise you right now that I won’t teach you how to make money online.

Rather my intentions are to share with you what I am up to and what I have been doing. If you benefit from my sharing of knowledge then it’s all good, and if you don’t well that’s fine by me too.

I have found the web to be a useful medium to share ideas, develop contacts and of course learn from others and this is exactly what my site aims to offer, nothing more nothing less.

More About Me

Although I’m not a big fan of writing about myself im sure a little introduction into what I’ve been doing and how I got to where I am might be interesting for some, so here it goes.

After graduating from university with a bachelors in computer science like most people I was hungry for a job and that’s really where my working life started. From 2001-2006 I spent life in the comforts of a large and prestigious investment banking firm where I worked as a Java developer. 

Now don’t get me wrong, working for others is great and early on it’s a great way to skill up and learn how to work but after 5 years of the hamster wheel I needed to step off and do something on my own.

So in January 2006 I handed in my resignation and stepped into what must honestly be said is the totally unglamorous and often over rated world of self employment. For the first year my activities mainly comprised of trading on eBay. My speciality was radio controlled toys, and imported gadgets from Japan, in fact this very site back in 2006 was an advise centre and forum for individuals looking to make a living from eBay.

I made some really good friends, contacts and of course business deals through the site but after continuous eBay policy changes, fee hikes and a general increased policing on eBay I finally sold up and stepped into something I was a little more comfortable with i.e. web development and running websites.

Present & Future

So that’s where I am now, I run a small but growing portfolio of sites, some of them developed from scratch, others purchased after being seeded by others. The work as you can imagine is varied and taps into a number of key skill sets including web design, programming, seo as well as the general marketing and promotion side of things.

Despite the wide range of tasks the sole objective of this work remains the same and that is to create and deliver quality sites with useful content and features. If people don’t enjoy or gain anything useful from a site then it has no value. Any site that fulfils the above characteristics is bound to give you a positive return of income in the long term which is what site flipping and this website are all about.

As well as tending to the portfolio and investing in new ventures I also do web development work through my operations at creative9.com and try to release as many free wordpress themes into the wider webmaster community as time allows. (I love wordpress, so it’s my way of giving something back).

Any way if you want to know more about me, or the work that I do online simply leave a comment or contact me on the forums. Enjoy!
