I just want to quickly give you a background on me, who I am and what my journey has looked like regarding making an income online and my affiliate marketing story.
I want to do this as I realise we are probably complete strangers, having never met before in the real world or online, so here goes.
UK, Spain, France
I was born in England in the Worcestershire region (near Birmingham) but within the first year we had moved to the South East (Surrey) very close to London.
I lived, schooled and worked in the UK until 2007 when I decided to move to Spain. This was also the time I decided that starting a business and working for myself online would fit better with my love of travelling and backpacking.
While in Spain I met a French lady who I ended up living with in Paris and which is where I also began my first venture online selling personal development products for a company in the USA.
It took me a few months to get my head around selling online but then things really took off and I became one of their top sellers and biggest recruiters in Europe.
I Became an Affiliate
Unfortunately after a couple of years the company began to lose its way so I started looking for something new which is what led me into Affiliate Marketing.
That was 2010 and ever since then I have been making my living online as a full time affiliate marketer either selling affiliate products or teaching others how to do the same with my one to one coaching or my affiliate courses.
I also advise companies on affiliate strategies as well as build affiliate programs for clients who have businesses and brands that could benefit from using affiliates to sell their products.
A Daughter and Caribbean Life
In terms of lifestyle, well a lot has changed since starting a business online. My partner and me have lived in various parts of world for 3 to 6 months at a time but always returning back to Paris or the home I maintain in the UK.
And in 2017 an incredible daughter arrived into the world which gave us good reason to make a more permanent move to the Caribbean (Guadeloupe) which was an incredible experience.
Back to France
Out of the blue in 2024 we moved back to France to a small village in the Champagne region which I was not expecting but the flexibility of affiliate marketing and my business made the move very easy with no worries of having to find work that would normally be an issue.
And that’s where we are as of today, back in Europe and running my business from France, and this was a very condensed version of my life and of starting an online affiliate business, hopefully you are still awake 🙂
