About Ross:

Find Out How A “Regular Dude” That Nearly Quit Online
Became Owner of The Biggest Blog In Internet Marketing

Search for nearly any product, guru, or phrase in Internet Marketing and you’re going to find this site with me and my goofy grin.

So let me ask you…

How do you suppose a normal guy like me gets to a place like that?

Hi, my name is Ross Carrel.

I’m what you call ‘laid back’.  A regular down to earth ordinary guy.

You could say I’m just like one of the boys.  I like sports, beer, and all the usual stuff.

But there’s one BIG difference between ME and everyone else.

While everyone is busy working like a dog for some jerk of a boss they hate…

I’m busy LOVING every minute of my life and the freedom of earning a living by making money online.

But please don’t get me wrong…

I’m not saying this to brag or show off, I just want to show you how my life has changed since learning how to make a full time income online.

And don’t worry, I’m not going to pretend I’m some kind of wild and crazy billionaire playboy.

In fact, it’s the simple things I enjoy the most about working online that I want to share…

I mean, can you imagine how good it feels to stroll down the sidewalk drenched in the afternoon sun, without a care in the world?

There’s something about the freedom and simplicity of it.

I get the biggest thrill out of just going out and walking down the street for a cup of hot Starbucks coffee.

Every morning after the sun is nice and toasty, I open my door and head off to the coffee shop at the end of the street… and I absolutely LOVE it!

Or when I’m really feeling good I’ll head off to the gym to throw some weight around.

Now after the previous picture I hate to admit this, but sometimes if I’m feeling extra lazy, I don’t even make it out of bed!

(try telling your boss you can’t make it cuz you feel lazy today – see how well that goes!)

But it wasn’t always this way, and feel like I’m really lucky to be here today…

There was a time when I almost gave up for good.

But I’m jumping ahead of myself.. let’s start at the beginning.

You see, I’ve always loved making money.  (who doesn’t?)

In my late teens, I got into the internet and started selling car parts through forums.  I’d also get parts online and fix up other people’s cars for extra money.

Things were going well and I started exploring other stuff to sell that might be easier or faster.

I was actually making some decent money selling parts, and a few other different  products.

But it wasn’t long until I screwed it all up.

One day I discovered this “internet marketing” community thing and I started to realize there’s a lot more ways to make money online than I ever could have imagined.

I read about these guys selling software and information products (like “how-to” stuff), and absolutely making a fortune.

I was amazed at how much money these guys were actually getting paid.

In just a few minutes work they were making as much as I’d make spending all year getting greasy, dirty, and busting my knuckles on someone else’s car.

I had to learn this stuff.

You might say I went a little overboard buying everything I could get my hands on to figure out what they were doing.

I was trying to learn EVERYTHING about the internet, but I still felt like I was all alone trying to solve some giant mystery.

Nothing was working, and I was beginning to doubt if it ever would.

It wasn’t long before I was frustrated, confused, and broke.

The irony of it all, in trying to make more money I lost sight of everything I used to know about actually making anything at all.

Fed up and sick of going in circles, I knew I had to take action now or else get buried in debt.

What I was doing clearly wasn’t working and it was time to make a big change if I wanted to see some REAL results.

I’d like to say it all came together at that point, but the truth is…

I ran away like a little wimp.

You see, I had three choices – the internet, a job, and one other choice.

I had already screwed up this internet stuff.

Then I thought back to the one or two jobs I’ve had in my life, and remembered how much I HATED working for someone else.

The thought of sitting there locked in a room for hours, trying to look busy is too much for me to handle.

Trouble is, I had to do something fast.  I was desperate.

So I decided to take door number three – the easy road.

I quit messing with websites, put off work, and headed to college.   At least then maybe I could get a better job than the hot miserable warehouse work I did as a teenager.

(I was the first in my family to go to a 4 year university, and my parents were so proud)

Accounting seemed like a smart choice (decent pay and a cold office indoors!), so that’s exactly what I chose.

But the trouble is – I love marketing and DID NOT want to become an accountant.

So I took classes for marketing too…

Unfortunately, my teachers didn’t know the first thing about marketing online and my classmates didn’t have the slightest clue about selling ANYTHING at all.

More and more I felt like I could care less about my school or the people in it, because deep down I knew that they weren’t going to get me any closer to my dreams.

So with every chance I could get in between classes, late at night, and sometimes even during school, I started working online again.

My wife thought I was crazy spending hours on nothing, and just hoping I would focus on my grades and school.  And you know, she was sort of right at first.  I was still falling right back into old habits.

But this time I did something different, and I was determined to show everyone I could make it.

I finally invested in myself, and found some real experts to help me figure this all out.  I got some personal coaching from some great mentors, found some solid info products, invested in high quality software, and started to focus.

And… I finally started making some money!

It was great…

I wasn’t making a fortune, but it didn’t matter.  I saw a light at the end of the tunnel and finally knew where to keep going.

And while my friends were stressing about tests and the miserable economy, I was relaxing in my very own office complete with a mini-fridge!  (where I only keep water of course)

I even had my very own full time assistant to manage my school and work calendar!

By that time I was getting awesome results in the search engines, and finally making all the right connections.  I just knew how to make things happen.

As you can imagine, I couldn’t wait to get out of school and finally go full time online…

As soon as I finished my last class and got my diploma I could have just thrown it out if it weren’t for my folks being so proud. (parents brag on that stuff I guess?)

In fact, now that I think about it… I realized that I hung up my degree but never even bothered to put my picture in it. I suppose that about says it all.

But I think they were most impressed if not a bit surprised, when after finishing school I went on ZERO job interviews, announced that I was already “working”, promptly got a nice new apartment, and had all the free time in the world to visit them, travel, and come and go as I pleased.

And I knew I made the right choice when just the other day on Facebook I saw someone from school posting desperately in search of a job.

Thankfully I won’t ever have to worry about that because now I have my own business and I’m also running one of the biggest blogs in internet marketing.

Thousands and thousands of people visit my site, and read my words.  It’s incredible.

I would literally have to shut down the site just to stop the mass rush of traffic.

And so after all the things I’ve tried and been through I feel like I can now proudly share with you this simple truth about making money online.

Making Money Online Will Change Your Life Forever

And just think a second about this – I almost quit and lost it all!  Can you imagine?

These days, I wouldn’t trade this business for the world.

I sincerely hope you can learn from my mistakes as I share my journey with you.

But Why Did I Choose To Get Into Teaching & Blogging About Internet Marketing?

Great question!

I’m sure there’s at least a few people that think, yeah right those guru guys would never make a dime if they didn’t sell stuff about making money.

I can understand that feeling.  A lot of other people feel that way too.

But I’ll let you in on a secret.

I don’t really care.

I never wanted to be one those “guru” type people.  It just seems like too much work and pressure. I haven’t got some amazing million dollars in ten seconds story and I couldn’t make one up if I tried.

I don’t need to.  I make an easy carefree living, and I am thrilled!

And I bet you’d be thrilled too, even if you only learned how to make enough for your car payment every month!  It’s seriously exciting stuff, and that’s what’s important.

Besides, I’d just as soon relax, travel, and have fun, than be pushed into the spotlight like that.  (and I’ve been doing exactly that for a while now)

The fact is, I love selling all kinds of stuff online – not just information about internet marketing.

Here’s the problem though.

I know it’s not easy trying to make it online AND manage work and family.  I know exactly what it’s like to feel trapped and struggling all night trying to figure things out.

And I realized that people really do want to know what I’ve been through, and learn from my success and mistakes.

Even if I don’t have a Lamborghini and an army of scantily clad girls to show you how important I am…

….or do I?  hahahaha

But seriously…

Because of this, I’d feel like a real jerk knowing other people like me…people that are ready to take action and learn… are suffering right now through the exact same things I went through, while I blissfully ignore them.

I actually feel obligated to help, and it turns out that once I finally did -

I discovered it was an incredibly cool job to have.

Stick around, and I’ll share how satisfying it is to be able to have hundreds and thousands of dollars in affiliate commissions come in while at the gym, asleep, or even strolling down the sidewalk on the way for a fresh cup of coffee.

Once you experience it you’ll never be the same!
