Terry Chadban (aka The Internet Marketing Bloke) is now a bona-fide ‘Old Fart’, as he is now in his 60s. Born and bred in Newcastle, New South Wales, roughly a hundred miles north of Sydney on the coast, he still lives there and still loves the area.

He got started marketing online back in the late 80s, mostly out of frustration. In 1985 he bought a new computer, a Commodore 128, but was so frustrated by the lack of software and hardware for the new computer, especially Down Under in Australia, that he started leaving messages on the local Bulletin Board Services, asking if anyone knew of any software or hardware available. Within a few days, he was receiving dozens of messages from all over Australia, and the world, from people in the same position, and that was when the lightbulb went off!

He started a business called NOVO Computer Hardware, and started advertising on the Trading Posts of the BBSs offering to act as importer/distributor for any software or hardware manufacturers, and also advertising the software/hardware for sale, and before long the business was one of the largest mail order businesses in Australia, making thousands of dollars a week.

Fast forward to 2008, and he is still around, still marketing online, and still learning. However over the decades he has picked up a few tips and tricks, and is now ready to start sharing them with the next generation of online marketers. His B.S. Meter is also very fine-tuned by now, so the advice that you will get will not always be the same as that of the big dogs, because what you will be getting is no-B.S. advice from a straight talker, not the regurgitated hype that most ‘marketers’ will try to feed you. If you want the unvarnished truth, and are not frightened off by the ocassional swear word, then stick around, you won’t regret it!
