This experience has shaped my approach to helping entrepreneurs like you find clarity and success in the digital landscape.
The Spark That Ignited My Online Journey
In 2007, a segment on the Today Show introduced me to a retiree earning $11,000 per month through a simple website. Intrigued not just by the income but by the method—leveraging the internet to generate revenue—I delved into the world of online business. However, the initial exploration was overwhelming, filled with dubious “get-rich-quick” schemes that promised much but delivered little. 
Building Late Night Internet Marketing
Determined to find a legitimate path, I immersed myself in learning about affiliate marketing, SEO, and content creation. Recognizing the need for a trustworthy resource, I launched the Late Night Internet Marketing blog and podcast in 2009. This platform became a space to share my experiences, strategies, and insights, aiming to guide others through the often confusing terrain of online entrepreneurship. 
Balancing Life and Side Hustle
Juggling a full-time career and family life meant that my entrepreneurial efforts had to fit into the late-night hours. This reality led to the creation of the “Late Night Internet Marketing” brand, reflecting the dedication required to build a business outside of regular hours. Through this journey, I developed the ALIGN Productivity Framework, a system designed to help side hustlers prioritize tasks, maintain focus, and achieve their goals without burnout.

No gimmicks. No fluff. No spam. No hype. Just practical, proven ideas to help you build momentum and grow your online business—one clear step at a time.
Look—I share what I’ve learned from over 15 years of building online businesses while working a full-time job, and I do my best to make everything I say clear, helpful, and 100% honest.
But I can’t guarantee your results—because your success depends on you. I’m here to teach and support, but at the end of the day, nothing works unless YOU DO (literally -- you have to work hard to make money online.) And sometimes even when you work really hard and do it all "right," you still don't make money. This is the nature of all business -- risk -- and it's no different for online business.
I want to be super upfront about that because the FTC takes this stuff seriously—and so do I. Making money online takes time, effort, and a lot of trial and error. So don’t buy stuff you can’t afford, be smart, and always ask questions. I’m in this to help, not hype—and everything I share is what I truly believe.
Also, some of the links on this site are affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission if you purchase through them—at no extra cost to you. But this means that I have a financial interest here -- and you need to keep that in mind. Still, I only recommend products and services that I personally use or believe will bring value to you.
