So adding to his CV.

He lived in a rented one bedroom flat, terrace house turned into two flats, that backed onto a railway line, for a long time.

Now moved in with his girlfriend.

He wastes a lot of time, trying to stop people wasting time fighting piracy. He says they will never succeed. So far neither has he. Except in forming the opinion in some peoples minds he has a finger in the piracy pie. I don't know if he has.

His marketing is obviously geared to showing he's not very good.

Clearly showing he's not a high a earner from his marketing. This I personally find strange as he repeatedly tells me my place is no palace as I won't show it. He obviously shows his isn't a palace by any measure. Marketing yourself as someone who's against fighting piracy and not a big success, isn't good marketing.

The story about getting assistants to phone advertising agencies shows a lot to people who understand selling to advertising agencies. They are paid to organise advertising campaigns, the account executives know the demographics of a publication. They know where to place ads in decent publications. They don't like being phoned by a tele marketing assistant for an appointment for his boss. It comes across as an insult.

They call the publications and ask for deals. Unless little agency with little accounts. I did sell to Saatchi and Saatchi. I sold to the 80 Charlotte Street office. This is marketing adapt it to your site.
