For anyone who’s downloaded my screencasts in the past, I’ve got some great news for you! Today Jamie Rumbelow and I have launched BinaryCake, a site dedicated to providing you with kick-ass development screencasts.
Right now there’s 2 screencasts available to download for 10 credits or less, including my first screencast ‘Mastering CodeIgniter – Part 1‘
A few weeks ago, I mentioned that I was thinking about producing some ‘High Quality CodeIgniter Screencasts‘. I was a little torn about putting a price on these screencasts, and selling them as a way to to boost my passive income. But the feedback from you, my loyal readers and followers was great, and you all seemed to encourage me to produce them.
I asked all of my followers on twitter what they would like released this weekend, and the result was clear: Facebook Connect.
I’ve been playing around with Facebook Connect for quite some time, and naturally, decided to use CodeIgniter to do so. And since this is me, I figured that most people in the UK are fed up of MP’s taking so much from them this week, so here’s me ‘giving’ you something back!
For a few years now, I’ve had CodeIgniter Screencasts on my site. This page, along with the Code page of my site have been the most popular pages by far.
Thousands of people download my screencasts every month, and despite some major problems with audio quality, resolution, and audio/video sync, they remain extremely popular.
For this reason, I’ve decided that it’s time to build a passive income stream into my freelancing career, and produce some very high quality CodeIgniter Screencasts along with reference materials, and release them for a small fee ($5 or less).
Most of the companies I’ve worked for have had someone in charge of ‘Search Engine Optimization’. The idea is to optimize your sites for search engines to help improve rankings for specific terms. But can it be done? And more importantly, how should it be done?
