I don't usually make New Year's Resolutions - I'm old enough to know that I rarely keep them!

This year I've made just a few around my IM business.

The year has already got off to a good start. My friend who runs the bridge site for which I'm an affiliate has started a brand new site aimed at bridge players in the USA.

Huge opportunities for both of us, we hope. So, of course, I've set up a new site for beginning and improving bridge players in the...

Just a couple of weeks ago I thought I'd try my hand at site flipping. As I spend a lot of time setting up and running listing sites, I thought that would be a good place to start.
