About Me and About this Website

That?s me on the left there with a friend I made when I was in Zambia not too long ago.?I love travel and I?m very fortunate to be able to work from anywhere as long as I have my laptop and Internet access.

I studied marketing in university which actually wasn?t that useful. I ended up teaching myself much more useful skills like web design, search engine optimization, search engine advertising, social media marketing, copy writing and more from websites and books.

I used these skills to start a side business in my spare time where I made passive income from several websites and a few?mobile apps. I also did some freelance web design and marketing work. After a few years with?lots of failures and mistakes I was making a pretty decent side income.

I?ve talked to lots of people who tell me things like they?d love to start a business but they don?t know how to set up a website or do any sort of marketing.

Every time someone tells me this I tell them how it?s much easier than they think now and there are all kinds of tools and resources to help, many of which are completely free or very inexpensive.

I built this website to teach people what I?ve learned about entrepreneurship and marketing. My goal is to help as many people as possible start their own side business or website and avoid some of the mistakes I made.
