Hi guys, welcome to the site!
Just in case you missed it…
My name’s Danny 👋
I’ve been a writer, creator, and digital nomad for the last 8+ years.
But these days…
Alongside parenting a 2-year-old…
I’m focused on helping people turn their skills into simple, solo businesses.
One they can run from anywhere in 2-3 days a week…
And make at least 6-figures from.
Without needing sales calls, ads, or a big audience.
It’s what I call a High Agency Creator.
Because, for me…
This is all about freedom.
It’s actually what led me down the content creation/info space rabbit hole in the first place.
10 years ago, I wanted to be a psychologist.
But I’d caught the travel bug.
And I hated how little control I had over my time.
So, in 2017…
I started my first online business.
The goal was simple:
Earn enough passive income to fuel the lifestyle I wanted.
But I got hooked.
Thoughts of becoming a psychologist fell by the wayside.
I quit my last “proper job” to pursue the business.
Then, in late 2018, I started a new one.
This time building content sites.
That business became my focus for the next 6 years.
I did freelance writing to pay the bills while it grew.
And I travelled as much as possible.
Meeting my partner, Meg, along the way.
(I was hitch-hiking in New Zealand.
She picked me up.
And we literally never said goodbye.
We now live in New Zealand together with our daughter, Skye!)
Anyway…
By 2023, after years of struggling to make any progress…
My business was finally doing well.
My sites were generating tens of millions of pageviews a month.
I had a small team.
And I was bringing in 6 figures.
But then…
In November…
(The same month we found out Meg was pregnant…)
Everything fell apart.
An algorithm update hit first.
A shadowban followed.
And, almost overnight…
My audience and income disappeared.
I spent a very long time trying to turn things around.
Burnt out in the process.
Decided it was time for a change.
And, to cut a very long story short…
Here we are!
I’ve spent the last 2 years nose deep in systems and strategies that let you build the sort of business I mentioned at the start.
My current goal:
Hit £10k/m again by the end of 2026 working 2-3 days a week.
With just me, one main offer, and a tiny audience.
I’m sharing the insights as I go.
If you want to be the first to get them…
As well as receive offers I don’t share anywhere else…

Either way, I really appreciate you stopping by.
I hope you get lots of value here.
