I never thought I’d make a dime from writing online.

I’ve taken zero courses, didn’t study writing at school, had no mentors, nothing. There were no shortcuts in my journey.

Yet, here I am making $1.5k a month, writing about whatever I want on the internet. It’s the best feeling in the world. So if you’re sitting there thinking ‘I want that’, let me tell you the story of how I got here.

The bumbling years (2016–2019)

For 3 years I was trying to get rich quickly.

I’d started a graduate scheme, was underwhelmed by office life, and couldn’t believe that this would be my next 50 years. I started looking for an escape route. For something more.

In January 2017, I consumed everything I could on escaping the rat race, finding freedom, building something for myself. It was all procrastination but at least it made me feel better.

By March, I started to take action. On the wrong things but that’s all part of it. I decided to start a sock store (yes like selling socks online, I have no idea what I was thinking).
