Living & working in Spain - Particularly the Costa Brava and Catalonia

I have been living here in Spain for the last five and half years and enjoying it. I have been fortunate by having a Spanish wife and not had the bothers that some people have in buying property here. I have a web site which is about trading on Betfair, I review systems and strategies and sell the software that help people to trade. I don't condone gambling and inform as much as possible about how to trade on the prices and not get burned.

I really like the under 2.5 goals market on Betfair and have something that works pretty well and I have been reviewing the Football Cash Generator product recently and not doing well with it. Thank goodness for paper trading for testing systems.

For me the success is in the selling of the software, such as BetAngel and BetIE. More than that I have built the site so that I have a good amount of traffic going through it and I am able to sell advertising to get a bit of income. The site is Wizardgol Betfair Trader Blog and Podcast. I have produced 37 podcasts both audio and video and had downloads of over 36,000 overall, according to my stats.

I also have a site dedicated to selling photographs and illustrations via the Micro Stock sites. It is also possible to sell video, flash, animation and even sound inthe same way. If you are a creative sort then have a look at Spondicious Photography for information about how to go about doing the micro stock business. I cover how to submit work I discuss the various microstock sites and talk about the technical details of producing the illustrations in CS3 Illustrator.

Spondicious Podcast 04 is on iTunes

In this podcast I talk about how good micro stock is for earnings when you stop adding new images. When you want to or need to take some time off from uploading. Feeding the beast is the phrase coined on Lee Torrens Blog - Microstock Diaries.

I talk about HDR photography and I have included some small tips and tricks to help you along with the stock photography business.

Lastly I have put in a request for funny stories that you might have regards being a photographer or whatever. I will post funny stories in a Podcast and in return I will put a link to your website and of course you can include a plug in the audio too.

Enjoy the Spondicious Podcast number four

BravaChat is the latest of my websites and is all about living here in Catalonia and the Costa Brava. There will be a heavy emphasis on the Podcasting both audio and video and there is one interview posted on the site, one interview in the process of being edited and already 5 more interviews lined up.

Next week I will be shooting footage of the Girona Festival and I am really looking forward to the human castles. Last time I saw it I was biting off all the finger nails while watching the small children being sent up to the top of the tower. I think the one I saw that was the highest went to eight people high. Ten people high is the record I think. A dangerous Catalan pastime well worth seeing. The other catalan event I partial to is the Correfoc where the devils run through the town with fireworks swinging above their heads. The last one I saw they had fire breathers also spitting fire in the air. The drums and the Catalan wind instruments are great too, builds up the whole atmosphere. Brilliant stuff.

Looking forward to meeting more ex pats online. I am from Sutton Coldfield near Birmingham and I spent twelve years in Ireland before coming here. Any more Brummies here ? Even Aston Villa supporters ??

I can't put any links in here yet but if you google Wizardgold or Spondicious you will get me and The BravaChat  Podcast is searchable on iTunes
