About Bob Martin
Hi, I’m Bob Martin, and I am an Internet Entrepreneur! I have been earning a living on the Internet for about 7 years now. I was using the Internet to earn money for a number of years before that, but only to supplement my income. For the past 7 years, though, I have made my living exclusively through the Internet.
Here is a photo of me and my family. Back Row: Me, my wife Feyma, and our oldest son, Chris. Front Row: Aaron, Jared and Jean Jean.
Although I am an American, I live in the Philippines and have been here for about 7 years now. Did you notice how the amount of time I’ve been here coincides with the time I’ve been using the Internet to earn a living? Well, it’s actually not a coincidence. It’s because it is not easy to earn a living in the Philippines and rather than trying to get a job or put up a business to serve the local economy, I decided that using the Internet to serve customers all around the world was the best way for me to proceed. I am happy to say that it has worked out very well for me. Honestly, I have been able to use the Internet to enhance my earning ability to the point where I make more money now than I did when I lived in the USA and had a “regular job” as they say.
Becoming successful on the Internet is great, but one thing I really enjoy is helping others achieve the same. It makes me feel good if I can show somebody a few simple methods, or share my thoughts with them, and watch them learn how to make a living themselves. I don’t really like it when others copy what I am doing, but when they look at what I do, and mold it a little bit to fit their interests, they can come up with something that is patterned after me, yet totally different from my business! I think that is great, and it gives me a lot of joy to see a friend become successful by doing this.
My business background is varied, but at the base of it all, I am a retailer. I spent most of my time in the USA working in Retail, managing Discount Department stores and also an Electronics Store. I have also been a published author, a supervisor at a factory that manufactured silicon wafers, and a few other things over the years. When you put it all together and blend it into what makes me tick, I have to say that I am an entrepreneur. No matter who employed me over the years, or what kind of job I had, I have always seemed to bring my entrepreneurial skills into the mix.
Being an Entrepreneur is my passion - it drives me. One thing I always recommend when somebody asks for advice on what kind of business they should enter is this - Follow your passion. When you do that, the money will come. On top of the money, you will always enjoy what you are doing.
