I was brought up in East Africa, worked in Ireland and then the UK. I'm now back in Ireland where I write about travel, wine and photography in no particular order, amongst other marketing subjects.
As a dad of 3 young adults, my feet are kept squarely on the ground as I try to focus on the joys of life.
I have been a professional winemaker and winemaking consultant for over 20 years, and have made wine in several countries around the world. I love the vineyard and wine scene - who wouldn't, producing an end product like that! Wine is definitely in the blood, so apart from writing about that, I now write about other passions of photography and the internet.
Realizing that the wine niche was too specialized, I've now turned my attention to 'making money on a computer' - a bit broader, I reckon!
Still trying to get my head round all that WA has to offer, and especially like Jay's WAbinars. Great community, great people!
Connect with me on Google+ if you wish. Thanks!

Hi Rob, Nice to meet you here at WA! You have a very interesting profission! I have been living in Porto, Portugal for already 11 years. When I arrived here I just got surprised that the famous portwine caves were on the other side of the Douro river, in Gaia! Porto is a beautiful city, worth to visit, if you have not been there yet. I wish even more success with your projects!

Hi Gabriella, I would love to see the caves in the Douro as Port is one of my favorite drinks - maybe one day!

Hi Rob, I love Ireland. I worked there (in Dublin) for 6 months but it was 15 years ago now. I really had the best time and met some great people. I would love to get back there soon and catch up with some of those people.

Rob - Good to see you are in touch with reality and the potentials of sugar, water and flavoring. In Australia my peak production was 200 gals per year. As well as grape I found Australian honey (esp Patterson's Curse) too good to pass up for Mead. An East European neighbor (twice so far for the Am. English spelling) who would hover to convert my so-so batches into white lightning. I always managed to connect my photographic creativity with my wine production so I see where you are coming from. Carrying the surname of O'Sullivan gives me excuses to tell stories (family history from Dingle). I now reside in (alcohol free) Utah USA (you don't live a lot longer here ~ it just seems that way.) I expect to roam your sites and trainings with appreciation. Larry

Hi Larry,
I love Dingle, used to holiday around there as a youngster. My photography passion only started after I left the wine business - not enough time back then!
Mead is a cracking drink, we have the renowned Bunratty Castle, near Shannon airport that serves it every night to visiting medieval diners. Unfortunately, honey is a bit scarce with the problems that bees are having.
Keep telling those stories!

Hiya Rob,
What an interesting profile read ! A fellow Irish here but having settled in Birmingham I miss the homeland ....and the fresh Guinness ...!!! A wine lover too, I think a wine niche would be amazing, my hubby and I have always flirted with the notion of buying a vineyard at some point to make our own wine! We wouldn't know where to begin, lol!
Wishing you good luck with the program which I have found amazing so far. I was a complete and utter blank canvas when it came to online marketing but I am finding my feet.
Nice to "meet" you,
Ellie :-)

Hi Elinor, good to meet fellow Guinness enthusiasts. I do have a wine niche, but have little time to spend on it. I set it up years ago in Adobe Dreamweaver as a means of learning html and coding. Must convert it to WoirdPress one day, but that's not straight forward!
Good luck with it all.

No seriously, I wanted to take a moment to thank you for following me. I’m pretty impressed with WA training and I think we will find a gold mine of information. Hmmm, seems like geniuses like us tend to gather in the same place (lol).
Anyway, here’s wishing you all my best for your success with online marketing. Please feel free to send me a private message if there is anything I can do for you.

Hi Rob. I loved reading your entire profile. I am a huge wine enthusiast -- red wine is my favorite. I usually have at least one glass per night while working on WA stuff. No where else can you be in an office and enjoy a glass of wine while working -- only when doing an online business from home can we enjoy that luxury. I would love to see you develop a niche site on wine, because there are plenty of affiliate programs out there for wine products. Just an idea I thought I would plant in your head. Thank you for the follow Rob and will be following you back ... in search of good wine. :)

Hi Steph, I love red wine too, but living in Ireland am also spoilt by having the best Guinness!
My very first site was my wine site built on Dreamweaver before WordPress became what it is now. So, have a look here http://www.winesandwinemaking.com/
My big issue now is how to transfer it into WP.
Hope you enjoy it - haven't done much on it for years since I was a winemaker.

Hi Rob:
Oh my Gosh! I love your wine website. I especially like the section on Calories in wine...I will have to spend some time going through and collecting all the awesome information.
In order to get it transferred to WA hosting, I think all you need to do is change the name servers on it so they are pointing to WA, but I am not sure if that is only for a brand new blank website as opposed to a website which has information already established on it.
Thank you for sharing. Glad to have you in my network. Keep in touch!

Sorry, never worked with recipes. As a commercial winegrower I only ever made wine by using just fresh grapes and yeast! It's all about vine varieties, quality of grapes, hygiene and flavor balance.
Homemade wine is very different to the real thing - but still the end result can be good. This may interest you - http://www.winesandwinemaking.com/homemade_wine.php

Hi Rob, my name is Daniel, my friends call me Didi. I do enjoy the upbeat enthusiasm you project with so few words. And a Wine maker no less....man that's cool! I wanted to take the time out and meet you as I am following you here at WA. I think its more personable to say hello rather than simply following someone for the sake of following somebody. I'm a writer as well - of Short Stories and Novels, and am looking to Self Publish my first Novel as well as a Collection of Short Stories in the next couple of months. I wish you the very best success in 2015 Rob. Great to meet you, friend! Have a great week! ( :E

Hi Daniel, appreciate your words. You're dead right, it's so much nicer being more personable and getting to know more about fellow folks on WA. There are so many very interesting people from all walks of life here - it's refreshing and interesting striking up relationships and following progresses together.
Good luck with the novels and short stories, and here's loads of luck to you too!

Find a niche you know and love. When you use your expertise, it is much easier to write content. Try to focus the niche as tightly as possible. The tighter the focus, the less the competition and the easier to establish your self as the go to guy in your niche. When you monetize your website, look for ways you can create recurring income. MLM is one of the best, affiliates that pay commissions on monthly subscriptions like WA and possibly a membership site.

I love your save energy web page I'm trying to fix my page want to see how I can fix it I don't pay a bill I have so many referals it pays itself because I just was giving people my business card.Now a website will reach the 3 states they currently serve.I have a bunch of stuff to add but can't find any pictures like you have or the proper heading on that WordPress I remotely like. Can you take a look?

I see you are using the twenty thirteen theme which is a basic free theme. If you want more punch and flexibility it may be worth your while finding a better theme for your niche. Some will still be free, but many - like the Genesis theme I use are paid themes.
FYI. I have a review on the Genesis Framework here - http://makemoneyonacomputer.com/genesis-framework-for-wordpress
Images can be difficult to source as you have to respect copyright, so I take photos or find royalty free ones.
But, I like the way you are not having to pay bills, I wish I could do that! Good luck and I appreciate the comment.

thanks Rob, yeah I just refer people once they pay their 1st light bill we each get $50.It varies though because around the hoildays they give $75-100 off.Before they can get the bonus they have to aalready have another power company then its free to switch NO DEPOSITS
They started a new program about a year ago to service your A/C or Heating them the wires in your home up to $2000/yr I recently had them come fix my AC in August.
If I have 5 referrals @ $50 I usually have nothing to pay the following bill.If i get 6 people that month I might havea small carry over then the next referrals came in I never have anything to pay. Its says i will in November but by the time those people pay that first bill in November its going to totally wipe out that bill because I got $250 coming and i will have left over for December and I'm hoping we get $75 per new account in Nov-
So it was alright to show people that the system of referral does work they really can have no electric bill with the chart I took off my online billing?

It's like many say, start the training at the beginning and soon you will build up your knowledge. I am more of a hobbyist as I can't devote a whole lot of time to my online stuff. But the years of learning are paying off slowly. I believe if I did it full time I would be doing very well - but family and other demands come first!
