It was kind of an accident. See, I graduated from college in the last crisis we had, which was the financial crisis in 2008. And there was like zero job market. And I kind of bounced around a few odd jobs. I lived on a friend's couch for a while. And I started doing freelance web design. And around the same time, I read Tim Ferriss' 4-Hour Workweek article.

which talked about building online businesses and automating them and how you could work four hours a week and go live and play in Argentina or whatever. I was like, hell yeah, I'm in. That sounds perfect. And so I spent the next couple years trying to actually build e-commerce sites and affiliate marketing sites. And it turned out that I was kind of bad at it.

I started blogging in 2008. And so if you wanted people to come to your website, if you wanted the rank on Google, if you wanted, there wasn't much sharing on social media back then. You had to be blogging. You had to be posting articles and coming up with stuff. And so that's actually how I ended up blogging. Originally it was just to promote these crappy affiliate sites I had.
