Hi, my name is Michael (in case you didn't guess that already) and I'm from the UK.
I originally started dabbling online with eBay and was hooked. Then I found that the internet gave me access to the information that I needed to learn to turn this new found dabble of selling things online in to something a little bit more meaty.
That was in 2002. I was working a regular full time job which I didn't mind but I knew there was more to life that trading my time for an hourly rate set by someone else.
I created an info product about 'Bad Credit in the UK' and started selling it online. I had to learn everything from scratch including HTML, graphics, putting a site together etc etc. Hey, look, I was that new to selling a downloadable product online that I spent 6 hours searching for "How to create the pop up box that appears when you download something online" !!!!
Seriously, I actually thought these were made from HTML code or something.
That site did OK with sales and by the time I sold the site in 2009 for $32,000 it was generating $1,700 per month and had been doing so for the past few years while requiring no more than 30 minutes of my time every other day.
I was also the first person to create an info product about the eBay affiliate program (back when it was administered by CJ.com). I've produced other info products since then too, such as the "Shezblogging" things but I won't bore you with the details of them all.
At present I'm publishing kindle books while maintaining fingers in the pie of the UK adverse credit sector but as an affiliate this time. My main aim is to create assets that work for me regardless of how I choose to spend my time.
I have a great deal of experience that has been totally self taught over the past decade and I'm really happy to help other members in any way that I'm able.
Thanks,
Michael
