Hey there!
The first post on a brand new blog… Always a bit awkward, isn’t it?
Well, I’ve had to get over myself, because in the coming weeks and months I’ve got so much good stuff to share with you – and I want to explain in this initial post just why I’m so bloody excited right now… and, more importantly, why you should be too. 🙂
So, who am I, and why have I decided to start this site?
You may or may not know that I’m Dan Flower, a 38 year old from the Staffordshire/Shropshire border in the UK.
After many years away from internet marketing (although still quietly watching from the sidelines), I restarted my online efforts in 2024, making more than 100 sales and bringing in over $2k in revenue in 7 days (much to my surprise) from a digital product in the PLR niche.
This was my very first launch starting completely from scratch, and while it wasn’t all profit by any means, it certainly got me excited about the potential for making money online again!
Since then, I haven’t really stopped – doing 3 more ‘public’ launches, and one just a few weeks ago that reached #1 on the WarriorPlus best-sellers list, and brought in almost $4k in sales.
At the time of writing in October ’25, I’ve sold $7k+ worth of digital products over the last 10 weeks in collaboration with my JV partner Andy Waring.
and during this last year, my focus has been very much on building my email list – including promoting offers to my audience as an affiliate and doing several private ‘mini launches’ just to my subscribers.
Does this mean I’m now some big-time guru?
Nope, absolutely not!
The money I’m making is frankly small fry compared to what a lot of people are making in this space, and I definitely have a long way to go to get to where I want to be.
But I’ve found a formula for making money online that works – and one that I can honestly say is replicable by pretty much anyone who is prepared to put some work in…
Which is exactly why I’ve started this blog – to document and share the journey of building my online business and give you my tips, insights, wins and failures as I go.
But make no mistake, I don’t want this to be just another “internet marketing blog.”
It’s my vision to make this our space – a home for honest, transparent, no-fluff insights about building an online business that actually works.
I’ll be documenting everything – the wins, the struggles, and the lessons along the way. Because the truth is, this path isn’t always easy. And I want to show it all, not just the highlight reel.
If you’re interested in creating and selling your own digital products, building an email list and earning affiliate commissions – and want a real-world perspective on how to do it – then this is definitely the place for you.
Follow along and let’s make money online together!
Interesting! Watch this space I guess! Nice to see some honesty:-)

Wow, thanks so much Nigel – this is incredibly kind of you to say!
I love sharing my journey in Tony’s group and will continue to do so, but I thought it was time to also make a space of my own on the old tinternet. 😊
Thanks again for posting mate. You’re doing amazingly too and I’m very much looking forward to following your journey also.

Hi Andy,
Thanks so much, that’s very kind of you to say!

Great first post Dan. I have the same interest, so I’ll certainly be tuning in everytime you have a new post.
Your ‘Starting from Scratch’ case study is excellent and could probably be the makings of a new product.
Kind regards
Richard
