I am writing this post on Holiday in the Yorkshire Dales, we have a fantastic cottage in Carperby, with stunning views over Wensleydale. I am sat in the study, looking out on the hills bathed in the evening sun, the sheep are contentedly grazing on the wet grass after a day of on and of rain, Eva is in bed and Cheryl and the In-laws are happy eating strawberries and cream, watching TV, round the log stove. 
My plan is that I will work on several streams to my business, the most obvious being the WordPress Plugin Development, with more time to dedicate to this work, I will be able to not only develop the plugins I have further, but also finish off some of the plugns I have 90% developed and put time into coding up some more of the ideas I have for plugins that will help affiliate marketers and bloggers.
I also hope that I will be able to bring my affiliate marketing business back to where it once was. With time and effort I will be able to get all my sites, that are still down from a server failure 12 months ago, back up and running, and start to build their reputation once again.
I am starting out with a great deal more knowledge than I had before, I have read a great deal, and hopefully, picked up some useful hints and tips from the best in the business.
Over the last few days I have been looking back over the last 7-8 years that I have been doing affiliate marketing, and analysing what has worked and what has not. As a result I have decided to keep my affiliate marketing to about three niches, these are niches that I am interested in, knowledgeable about as I work in those sectors day-to-day, and are also sectors where I was successful in the past.
I did have a great spread of sites in many niches, I will become (at least in the first instance), more focused. I will then branch out into other areas. It was notable that the niches I was successful in were those I am interested and knowledgeable about, but there were also some strange exceptions, my greathampers site was very successful, so although this is outside my chosen niches I wil get that sit eback up and running and populated with content. I will not however, spend a great deal of time promoting that site, if it is successful I will re-consider, but I will leave it to tick over for now.
I also have several other business interests, including consulting on building your businesses online presence, but I hope that the mainstay of Digitalquill will be WordPress and online software development ad Affiliate marketing.
Keep checking back both here on Matthouldsworth.com and on my other Blog Earning From Affiliates to keep up-to-date with my activities.
I intend that I will work smarter, not harder and hopefully work a Three day week, meaning I can also spend more time with the family, take more holidays to the places we love, like here in the Yorkshire Dales and who knows, eventually, if we are not tied to a location for work, re-locate to where we belong, here in the Yorkshire dales.
