Allan Gardyne: Millionaire Journalist

Like many other Internet entrepreneurs, Allan Gardyne didn't set out to stake a career on the Web. Gardyne began his professional life in Australia as a journalist. In 1996, when the Internet was still a bit of a novelty, he began dabbling in Internet marketing as a hobby. But, as his hobby began to take on a life of its own, he realized that the Internet was rife with opportunities for financial gain, and so began Gardyne's career in affiliate marketing.

One of Gardyne's earliest ventures was AssociatePrograms.com in 1998. This site is one of the most comprehensive directories of affiliate programs on the web today. It also contains a virtual cornucopia of information, articles, software tools and helpful hints on how to increase the profits of a web-based business. Some of his other Internet ventures include PayPerClickSearchEngines.com and LifetimeCommissions.com.

Another reason that Gardyne decided to leave his journalism career behind was the same as it is for so many other entrepreneurs. He wanted to be his own boss. Today, Gardyne and his wife Joanna make a handsome living from Gardyne's various Internet businesses. It keeps them traveling between homes in Queensland, Australia, and New Zealand. Not only is he his own boss, he is now the boss of three full-time employees and a small group of part-timers as well. Gardyne enjoys managing his own time. He thrives on the personal and financial freedom that running a successful Internet business brings.

Today, Allan Gardyne is considered a leading expert on the subject of affiliate marketing. He has become a trusted source of ideas and tips. He has written hundreds of articles and reviews covering topics like pay per click advertising, keyword selector tools, building an effective website, garnering free website traffic, and many more Internet marketing subjects. He is so well-regarded, in fact, that a product endorsement by Allan Gardyne is a marketing tool in and of itself. He is also the publisher of "The Associate Programs Newsletter," a periodical which brims with news, reports, and tips. The newsletter currently boasts over 33,000 subscribers.

Gardyne is considered by many in the industry as an affiliate marketing guru. He is also a well-respected mentor and teacher in the fields of making money online today. He continues to make a great living from promoting the products of others and by teaching Internet-based business owners to profit from affiliate marketing.
