UK Plumber to 7 Figure Internet Marketer – How?
It’s Never Too Late
The following is just a little about me… not to gloat or to show off. Nope I don’t do that, I’m too long in the tooth for all the B’S, and that’s really my point… I’ve tried pretty much everything in search of success… the internet didn’t exist when I left school and for a long time after that.
Currently approaching 51 as I write this post, success didn’t really happen in the way I wanted it to until around 5 or 6 years ago. So believe me when I say ‘It’s never too late’
If you know me, or know of me then you’ll probably know I spent most of my working life all the way up to 2013 working in and around the building trade in the UK… and for the 15 years prior to 2013 as a plumber.
UK Plumber to 7 Figure Internet Marketer – How?
Many people find it hard to fathom the connection between Plumber and successful Marketer. How can a plumber transition from fitting peoples toilets to suddenly making 7 figures per year online?
The answer is simple desire… I never wanted to be a plumber, I did it because I could and it paid the bills… it was a job, nothing more, nothing less. I’m sure many of you reading this right now currently have jobs right? But then if you are reading this then that job obviously isn’t enough!
Is it Enough?
If you’re anything like me then that job you have right now is simply a means to an end and not where your heart is.
Some people are made to work for someone else, they are content to do so and there is nothing wrong with that. My father was one of those people, it made sense to him… go to work, get paid, come home… and he tried to instil the same principles in me, but it didn’t inspire me.
Without Entrepreneurs there are No Jobs
It’s ok to be an Entrepreneur… even when everyone around you think you’re crazy or nothing more than a dreamer.
I wore the ‘Dreamer’ label for most of my working life… but those BIG dreams forced me to where I am today… who’s laughing now? ME!
Don’t Give Up On Your Dreams…
Pursue them… the reality is you can do and be whatever you want (within reason). Success is just a few steps away, hard to believe right now perhaps, but it is and if you subscribe to this blog you’ll soon see just how close you are.
Today…
- Today I’m a successful product developer… Together with my business partner I launch software and training products multiple times per year (almost all generating over 6 figures each).
- I coach / Mentor others, consult on funnel and sales page design…
- I’m an affiliate marketer… a successful one
Truth is I now make more in one month just through affiliate marketing than I did in a year working as a UK plumber…
And here’s the thing… I’m not that clever
If you’re ready to change your future for the better stick around
Cheers

Very inspiring post Mark! I have a very similar background, but work as a government employee here in the States. I’ve been labeled a dreamer as well. My dad is one of those guys that has worked for someone else all his life and has always been content on doing so. I have always had an entrepreneur spirit and am just now (at the age of 35) in a position to start making my dreams a reality. I’m currently working on becoming an affiliate marketer, but still have much to learn. I just wanted to give ya a shout and let you know this post really hit home with me! Thank you for providing awesome and valuable content sir!

Is Blox a global opportunity?
Well, I’m an old maid of 57! Actually born in 61 with the hippies and the flower children when John Kennedy was president. Was one of the world’s first women geologists for which is why I may be an old maid, we didn’t get treated so well, not by the geologists but by the rock quarry and mining trades. And actually I became further inspired having spent 1980-81 in the UK where we camped near a bunch of geologists at Stonehenge. Lady Diana had gotten engaged to prince Charles that year.
So any way I have made $ online as an instructor for the first online university then remotely as a reporter, data base tech and merchandiser using an online portal. Since 2015 I have been standing on my feet 100 hours in 10 days running roadshows. I used my last break to feverishly check out every opp I could find. A stat I came across was that for every legitimate offer on the internet, 66 of the other offers are scams. I did manage to get a shopify store open and make 5 orders within a few days, run some fb ads, open a sellers account on Amazon and Ebay to dropship. I am also attending clickbank. So I pray I have found something here that furthers my progress.
When you a very strong will in life you will achieve anything. What the mind can persive you can achieve.
If you think you are old I was born in Baltimore in August 1950 so I will be 69 next month. I was in middle school when Kennedy was assassinated .
My story is the same as the other ones posted here.
I have joined two programs already one for almost $400 and the other $3000 and have not had a single sale to date.
The only thing I can say is don’t give up.
Thanks Wayne Miller
Im same as Karen, born in 1961, 38 yrs same telecom company, slaving away, too in debit to retire and hating life, be on the internet merry go round for about a year, bought lots of shiny things, spent 4000 on 1 program, hundreds more on others and nothing has clicked for me either.
Signed up for Thriive last nite and jumped right in, got my first article loaded and ready to continue on with the training tonite after work
So far so good, liking the ease, simplicity of the app and the training videos are right there and easy to follow can go back and forth till I get it done.
I believe there is some training on Friday Nov 20 so looking forward to that, hope I can join, hope its in the evening, but if not I am sure there will be a replay provided.
Sticking with it and hoping that this program is the one.
Keep working at it everyday, even when it doesn’t work, don’t stop, keep trying, keep moving forward. Having a online internet marketing, affiliate or e-comm business is the only way you are going to make your dreams come true. Freedom to live how and where your want, retire with enough money to be happy, no debts, or become a 6,7,8 figure entrepreneur whatever you are striving for you can do it by hard work, believing in yourself, get help if you need it, hire a mentor if you can afford it, watch the training videos, follow the steps, go, go, go
Thanks Sue 🙂

Those are more minimum requirements that you know of I need I need to get into marketing makes money II put everything I candidate right now this is it right now what I bought from you guys I guess what I’ve got.
