Scott Andrew Bird https://profiles.google.com/scott.bird/ It’s been a little over a decade since I first began publishing content online. Gradually it’s moved from static sites to blogs, ebooks and posts on various forums.

Of the blogs, by far the most successful has been Straight to the Bar. This strength-training site now has a larger readership than all of my other sites combined; and accordingly, this is at the top of my daily blog-posting list.

The other key aspect of my writing relates to the article-writing, editing and consultation work I do on an ad-hoc basis. I love doing this work, and in order to move from ad-hoc to regular I intend to repurpose this site as a portfolio; rather than a blog.

With this change comes the relocation of a number of articles which have appeared here over the years. As there have been several thousand pieces, I’ll only be keeping the best of them. These will appear gradually - slightly updated - on my corner of EzineArticles.

In the meantime, here are a few of my favourites on other sites. Enjoy.

Scott Andrew Bird https://profiles.google.com/scott.bird/ For a little over a decade now I’ve been publishing content online, and I’ve discovered a thing or two in the process. Quite apart from the writing itself, I’ve learnt how to maximise online income from sales, advertising and other projects; encourage staggering levels of traffic growth and incorporate traditional offline strategies into the online approach.

In short, I’ve learned how to turn a hobby into a business.

As I get a real kick out of helping others to reach their own online goals, I share this information in the form of custom site reports. Each report is written specifically for the site in question; addressing the concerns and ambitions of its owners. The reports available are :

  • Detailed Site Report
  • Traffic Generation Report
  • Incorporating Offline Strategies

If you’d like to discover more about any or all of these reports, feel free to send me an email or check out the latest case studies. As you’ll quickly discover, these reports can have an enormous impact on your online business.

Scott Andrew Bird https://profiles.google.com/scott.bird/ I’m the editor of the strength training site Straight to the Bar. I believe that the human body is an amazing machine, and the site looks at the fastest, strongest and most powerful athletes in a range of fields.

My goal is simple - to help people change their own lives through information and inspiration. I’ve been extremely fortunate over the years and genuinely enjoy every aspect of my life; hopefully my articles will help you reach a similar point.

A bit about me personally

I’ve been surrounded by cameras and computers for a little over 20 years now, and am passionate about each. Perhaps this is unsurprising; my father was a professional motor racing photographer for many years and my mother shared her love of language, reading and writing. A quick glance at my bookshelves confirms that she succeeded.

The two passions - photography and computing - have seen me engaged in everything from travel photography (I love travel, so this was a natural combination) to 9-5 banking work. Perhaps 8-6 would be more accurate.

Lately I’ve returned to the areas of language, reading and writing. The expression of ideas is a vital concept, and these areas - together with the photography - cover that perfectly.
