Vamp Until Ready

About me

I shan’t bore you with a CV, but here’s some of what I’m about:

Search Engine Optimization

I’m co-founder of Web Positioning Centre and write about SEO Copywriting, Ethical SEO and Marketing at my professional blog, Dangerous Thinking (currently the leading SEO Copywriting blog in the UK).

Copywriting

Before I refocused on online marketing, I spent nearly 20 years writing copy for all sorts of clients; mainly direct mail and below-the-line material. I still keep my hand in from time to time, if the project looks interesting. Have a look at my (not entirely reworked) David Rosam Copywriting site.

Food and cooking

Yes, this explains the waistline! My Mum taught me to cook when I was a child. Then, at university, I discovered a) I really enjoyed cooking and b) I was the only person in wherever I lived who could cook! I write about food on Meals On Blogs.

Cycling

The antidote to the above… Oh, and just for fun.

Photography

I almost decided to make a career of photography, but became a writer instead. I prefer to use film and work in black & white almost exclusively. I’ve migrated my photoblog away from Blogger. It’s now at The First Cut.

Music

I listen to jazz, world music, reggae, dub, some rock, baroque and 20th/21st century classical (I suppose I should say composed) music. I have a huge number of CDs and listen to something just about all the time I’m awake and not talking to someone else.

Jokes

I’ve been running a jokes list for my friends for around a decade now. Send me a joke to jokes [at] davidrosam [dot] co [dot] uk and I’ll add you to the list.
