I am from the United Kingdom and live in a village in North West Essex about 55 miles outside central London, we are not far from the Suffolk border, it's a beautiful place to live! In fact, there are more trees than people!.I have been involved with agriculture, horticulture and forestry work for much of my life and I have been working online since 2007.

I started researching the Internet back in 2004 and purchased many scam products that didn't actually do what they said they would! However, I did learn a lot throughout the process and some of the products did work okay, but it certainly cost me a lot of money! In fact thousands!

I had my first moneymaking website, built back in 2007, it was a Google AdSense site mainly, but I also had some affiliate links which were dramatically increased as time went on. I actually made a sale the very first day that the website went live, which is always very encouraging. Within a very short time, I was earning a monthly three figure sum from Google AdSense, the power of the Internet never fails to amaze me.

The power of the Internet has always fascinated me and I find it amazing how we can connect with so many people that only a few years ago, it would have been totally different; what takes one week now would have probably taken a lifetime only a few years ago!

I am looking forward to being part of this membership site, I also belong to another membership site, where I have been a member for about four years. (I'm no longer a member of this particular site, just a member of Wealthy Affiliate now!) I like the idea of being able to stay up-to-date with Internet marketing and technology, it's great to be able to ask a question and to hopefully answer some questions. I'm looking forward to being part of Wealthy Affiliate and growing my Internet business, which I eventually want to be working full-time.

My interests include the countryside, music, reading, walking and much more, I am also part of a large Bible believing Pentecostal church in London, where I also attended their Bible school. I have a strong faith and have been privileged to have seen the miraculous many times.

I recently started a new off-line business which I started from scratch, I literally had no work, but within eighteen months my income has skyrocketed. The reason I'm saying this is because a lot of the principles taught in Wealthy Affiliate have helped me achieve my success.

If you're reading this and you are new to Wealthy Affiliate, please go through the training step-by-step, I learnt the hard way and expensive way, but if you go through the videos step-by-step, ask questions and take action, you will be successful.

I have made some great connections here at Wealthy Affiliate and it is a great pleasure and privilege to hear about the success stories and watch people grow their business.

I have also been very privileged to have found an excellent Webmaster over seven years ago who has been a great help and became a very good friend. We have done quite a few projects together and will be doing many more in the future.

Please feel free to connect with me on social media and here at Wealthy Affiliate.

Thank you for reading.
