About

I’ve been making profit online since 1996, yup real money that I could bank after I had paid all the outgoings.

I quit my day job in 1995 thanks to self publishing a book I wrote called ‘The Underground Directory’. It made me six figures, and I was gob smacked that someone with no college degree, business degree, in fact qualifications of any kind worth mentioning could rake in that kind of money simply by using ‘common sense’. I started out with a £50 advert. This seemed a huge amount of money to me back then.

My list of ‘jobs’ up until when I finally quit and stopped being an employee included: manager of a t-shirt store, courier, fine furniture maker, antique restorer, washer upper in a home for people with special needs, care worker for screwed up kids, co-manager of a personal development centre, customer service boffin in the mail order division of a major bookstore chain.

As you can see, the jobs I had where all simply wage-slave type jobs. In those days the only thing that kept me going working for someone else was that some day, some way I was going to quit and design my own life, on my own terms.

I lay the blame for having such ‘uppity’, ‘arrogant’ and ‘above my station’ type of thoughts fairly and squarely on the shoulders of punk rock, whose two rallying cries where: “You are your own authority”, and “Do it yourself”.

Ahhh, those were the days…

From publishing my first book, I expanded my business to include publishing other authors, and setting up and running one of the UK’s largest underground mail order companies. By ‘underground’ I mean books and services that focused on personal freedom and privacy, counter-surveillance, private investigator manuals, wannabe James Bond stuff etc.

So why should you even bother to listen to me?

Am I just some nitwit who’s hopped on the band-wagon to make a buck teaching others how to make money online without making it himself? Well you know what I’ve done in the past and what I’ve achieved, but still, you decide, read on.

When I quit the ‘underground’ market, I took what I knew worked (publishing directories) and instead built and ran several successful niche search directories.

I’ve also sold anything from books, debit cards, security products to motorcycle art prints.

The Internet for me is a lifestyle business.

I have zero time for idiots who prey and rip-off the newbie and naive. Those who generally can ill-afford to be screwed over.

I have zero time for sycophants who try and butter me up by thinking waving a big fat commission cheque to get my attention and strike up a JV deal is all it takes… that’s not how you get my attention. You can offer me the highest commission payment in the universe, but if your product is crap I won’t promote it… period!

Nature is my inspiration, and I get many of my best business ideas sitting by a river, the sea or just walking in the early hours of the morning before the rest of the world has woken up.

The cult of celebrity makes me puke. Sometimes I wonder what ever happened to the REAL mentors in life. Those unassuming women and men, who silently led people to discover their own power, their own creativity, and ultimately their own freedom.

I can be found sipping organic ginger beer in some of London’s swankiest restaurants, as well as crouched on all fours with my bum sticking out a hedge trying to photograph a wild flower I might have just spied.

I believe money and wealth are truly fantastic, because they empower individuals to live their dreams. Well physically at least, they don’t make you any less of a twit or a neurotic though if you are either of these.

Bottom line: I know what I’m doing, and have been doing it for over a decade online. I attempt to encourage my audience to find their true passion in life, and create a lifestyle from their business that celebrates that passion.

To some it may simply be having enough money to quit their day job and tinker away in their own small way. Others may not be happy until the helicopter is sitting on their lawn. Either way is right.

I live in Devon, England with my wife, daughter and a dog.

To your success…
