My Journey from Retail to Copywriting

Life’s got its twists and turns, hasn’t it? My initial career in retail ended abruptly due to mental and physical health issues when I was just 22.

But every cloud has its silver lining, and adversity breeds resilience! I dove into a seven-year journey with the Open University, earning a First Class degree in English Language and Creative Writing. After that, I started picking up freelance gigs and even geeked out by building WordPress sites in my spare time.

Fast-forward to today and I’ve had the privilege to work with some of the biggest names in the affiliate marketing world (sorry, can’t name-drop here due to confidentiality). However, chronic health issues led me to pivot again—this time towards building my own brand through my blogs and websites.

The Dream Team—Zekey, Hopey, and Sandy 🐾

I share my life (and my couch) with three amazing beagles: Zekey, Hopey, and Sandy. They’re not just adorable, they’re Instagram stars in their own right! Go on and give them a follow if you like cute content in your Insta feed!

Zekey, the cheeky beagle

ZEKEY – THE CHEEKY ONE

I’ve had Zekey since he was 8 weeks old, and he’s now 10 years old. He’s a cheeky boy with lots of personality. He loves his toys, likes to ‘talk’, and loves cuddles.

Hopey, the needy beagle

HOPEY – THE NEEDY ONE

I rescued Hopey from Cyprus in 2018 when she was approximately 1 year old. She was found in horrific conditions but is the most loving, needy, and sweet girl.

Sandy, the feisty beagle

SANDY – THE FEISTY ONE

Also rescued from Cyprus in 2018, Sandy was around 6 months old when she came to me. She’s feisty and bossy, but also very loving and sweet.

WHY TRUST ME?

Let’s get into the nitty-gritty. Before my four-year tenure with a leading affiliate marketing company in the tech and VPN niches, my writing had already made its way to businesses, websites, books, and magazines across the globe. I’ve covered a range of topics that span Christian counseling, mental health, holistic wellness, creative writing, web design, and even SEO. Each project wasn’t just a gig; it was an in-depth study into the industry’s nuances, arming me with a comprehensive understanding of various sectors.

But hey, I get it. With the internet awash in “experts,” why should you listen to me? Well, it’s simple. I’ve got over 13 years of skin in the game. That’s 13 years of vetting products, breaking down complex subjects into digestible advice, and honing my skills in effective and persuasive communication. When I say I only recommend products I’ve used, I mean it. My ethos revolves around offering transparent, no-BS advice that genuinely helps people navigate the often murky waters of the online world. Trust is the currency I trade in; my reputation is a testament to that.

And let’s not overlook my educational background. I hold a degree in English Language and Creative Writing from the Open University, enriching my skill set and adding academic gravitas to my practical experience. This blend of formal education and real-world expertise provides a balanced perspective that’s as grounded as it is insightful. So, whether you’re here for cutting-edge AI discussions, tips on making money online, or the nitty-gritty of WordPress development, rest assured you’re in capable hands.
