Hi. As the name of the blog suggests, my name is Keith Winter. I am British but live in sunny Spain with my wife and two daughters.
I am an “internet junkie”. Well to be more precise, I’m an “information junkie”.
I have been online since the early days of bulletin boards, which were popular way before the internet was invented. Ever since my first encounter with the Compuserve “text only” forums in the early nineties, I have been fascinated by the sheer amount of information and help available to anyone who cares to search for it.
The advent of the internet has also made it possible for everyone to easily start a business and sell an unlimited range of products to a worldwide market.
Instead of having the overheads previously associated with running a successful business, you can now “set up shop”, in hours for less than the cost of a family meal in the local pizza restaurant.
For probably the first time in history the average Joe can compete with the big boys. No longer do you need a prestige showroom in the most expensive part of town. With some reasonable design skills you can easily build a website to equal or even better the “Multi-National” companies.
Starting a business has never been easier, but you still need to work at it. You can’t just read the book and expect it to just happen. Like all things in life there is no such thing as a free lunch. Running an online business is serious business, and you have to treat it like one. Without a doubt it’s hard work at the beginning, but the benefits will far outweigh any effort you will put into it.
- You will be your own boss.
- You will be able to decide how much money you earn.
- You will be able to set your own working hours.
- You can forget about getting up in the early in the morning to beat the rush-hour or the stress of getting caught in the traffic on the way home.
- You will be able to spend more time with your family.
- More inportantly, you will be able to take control of your own future.
These are just a few of the benefits of working for YOURSELF online, and when it all starts to come together you will find others too.
One thing I have learned from living in Spain is that the Spanish “work to live”, not “live to work”.
This blog is dedicated to all those who want to free themselves from the daily “nine to five grind” of working in a so called “Proper Job”. To get out of the rat race, earn a proper living and start enjoying life.
As this site grows I hope you will come back often. I invite you to contribute to the content and if you disagree with me, please say so. You may have had a different experience than me. All I ask is that you respect the other readers and don’t use abusive language or insults. Everybody has differnt views. That’s what makes the world an interesting place.
Do I make money out of this website?
Sure I do, but everything I review on this blog, I have personally tested. I won’t recommend anything blindly. Some things are free and some are paid for, but I rarely recommend a high ticket item unless I really believe that it is worth the money.
To your ongoing success.
Keith
