What’s up, cupcake? Fancy seeing you in my corner of the Internet.
I think I know why you are here. Because your life blows – hard, maybe even donkey balls.
You are stuck in a job you don’t like, doing work that’s meaningless to you, making money for someone else. Things might be alright on the surface but you have this nagging feeling in the back of your head and a voice that keeps asking, “Is this it? Is this all there is to it?”
It’s a living, sure – but is it a life? Is it what you had in mind for yourself?
If your response to that question is somewhere between “not really” and “fuck no”, you have come to the right place. This is a community for freelancers, entrepreneurs, bloggers, consultants, marketers, small business owners, and others who are trying to go their own way in life.
It’s for people with a similar dream: a career that is meaningful to them and motivates them to do their best work. That allows them to wake up in the morning with a pep in their spring and look forward to the day ahead. That doesn’t feel like a slog and something you need to escape from.
How About You? Why Are You Here?
You reading this tells me that you are looking for similar things. You no longer simply want to work for a paycheck. You want to do something you believe in, something that excites you and that you give a damn about. Work that not only interests and fulfills you but also gets you paid – well.
And to that I say, why the fuck not?
The Internet, one of humanity’s greatest inventions (and also one of its worst, but let’s talk about that some other time), makes it possible for thousands of people to earn money online, from home or from wherever they want, doing things they care about.
So, if that is what you are looking for, I say, welcome on board.
Have You Signed Up Yet? Would Be a Lot Cooler If You Did.
At this point, you might be asking yourself – and rightly so – why should you give a flying fuck about what I have to say on this topic?
Fair question. After all, we don’t really know each other, so let’s talk about my credentials for a short second.
You Want Details? I’ll Give You Details!
I’ve been successfully self-employed as a freelance writer and marketer (PS, you can hire me) for more than a decade. I make my money exclusively online, when and from wherever I want. All I need is a laptop and an Internet connection and I can make a living. I’ve worked from some beautiful places, such as this beach house in Crete.
Before that, I was a startup founder and, quite frankly, not very good at it. My business plan could not have made a lemonade stand successful, let alone support a real enterprise long term. Shockingly, that startup folded after two years (I know, who would’ve thought?).
Thankfully, during that time I managed to learn enough web design, blogging, and marketing that I could translate these skills into an actual career (to the surprise of everyone, including me). And that’s what I’ve been doing ever since – and loving it.
While I am not a millionaire (yet), I do make thousands of dollars every month getting paid for things I would happily do for free. I also get to choose my own schedule, can work from any location I choose, and get to pick my clients.
So, all in all, life turned out quite alright.
And here’s the kicker: That’s what I want for you, too.
Yes, you, the person reading this at this moment.
I don’t know who you are (though I’ll try to stalk you in my web analytics later) but I do know one thing: If you are currently dissatisfied with how your life and work situation is going, if you are looking for more freedom, and a way to make money online so you can live life on your terms, I have made it my mission to do my darndest to help you.
Because despite all the bravado, joking, and f-bombs, I do like to believe I know what I am talking about. I have walked the walk, managed to build a career for myself that I love, and now I want to help others, like you, do the same. I hope by sharing what I know, you don’t have to make the same dumb mistakes I made (although you can invent your own, and then tell me about them) and that you can get there more quickly than I did.
Is This Some Kind of Scam? It Sounds Too Good to Be True
Be aware, however, that this isn’t a get-rich-quick scheme. I am not promising that you can make seven figures overnight by dropshipping shitty products while living on a beach in Thailand somewhere (though, if you do want to work from Thailand, that’s your call, of course).
I also won’t hold your hand and tell you that you just have to believe hard enough to make your dreams come true. If you want that kind of talk, go and re-read your copy of “The Secret”. There are no shortcuts to living on your own terms and I am not here to fool you into thinking there are.
No, what I am talking about is hard work. Building a life of personal freedom and independence isn’t easy. It requires effort, it requires sacrifice, but it’s worth it.
Getting up every day to do a job you love and that interests and excites you, for clients you Like and respect? priceless.
Being your own boss, setting your own hours, and deciding what you get to do with your life? Ditto.
So, if this sounds like something you want and you are willing to put in what it takes, I’ll be right here with you. I’m offering tried-and-true advice on how to realistically earn money online doing work you enjoy. On how to build an online business that funds whatever lifestyle you have in mind for yourself.
What, if not that, did we invent the Internet for? Cat videos, memes, and googling dad jokes? No (I mean, yes, that too), but so you and I can make a living however the hell we want to. So, let’s fucking do it, shall we?
