About Us

MySoftwareTemplates.com provides you with the business, marketing and technical documents you need to get the job done.

This site is a fast growing collection of templates—some free, some professional—that you can use for your next project.

I run it all by myself… so you can blame, praise, or share with me!

What I do?

I help people write, publish, distribute and extend information assets.

What does that really mean?

It means I have in-depth knowledge of technical documentation, content strategy, information architecture, and web publishing activities.

I work in the UK, USA and Asia with small startups, Fortune 500s and everything in between. Drop me a line if you’d like to talk. Maybe I can help; if not, maybe I can connect you with the right person

You can get me on Twitter @ivanwalsh, Disqus, Facebook, Flickr, LinkedIn, Delicious & Google Reader.

How I make a 6 Figure Income as a Freelance Writer

I set an aim in 2006 to get out of 9-5 office work and become a full-time consultant.

Three years later that dream has become a reality. Today my ‘job’ is developing information products, tailored content, and providing consultancy services. I do it all from home — no more commuting!

Getting there has not been easy. It you want to follow the same path (or give it a try) take a look at some of these sites, especially Perry Marshall, Darren Rowse.

  1. Read the right people.
  2. Use the right tools
  3. Sell the right products.

That’s it in a nutshell.

Accenture, Allied Irish Bank, Bank of Ireland, Bearing Point, DHL,  Disney, Ernst and Young, IBM, Intel, LeasePlan, KPMG, NEC, Oracle, S1, Symantec, Valista, Vodaphone, Western Union
