Hi
My name is Tom and I have been on-line since 1996 and been in to computers from the age of 14 and I am turning 47 this year
on Xmas day... and I love playing computer games.. and still do.
(I live in Australia... Wollongong 1 hour south of Sydney)
I use to import computer products from china between 1996 and 2001 and sell them online and from my computer shop here..(closed now)
I think I was one of the first websites in Australia to use an on-line shopping cart.. and also have a downloadable program people could order
my product through... I use to be the major supply of cpu cooling products supplier for people that wanted to overclock there cpu and gpu back in the day
I use to buy old computers from auctions here where I live and stripped them down and sold the parts.. that was between 1993-1997
I have always worked for my self and always think of ways to make things easier .. if you do something manually over and over there must be
away to automate the process... that lead me in to internet marketing...
I was a member of a site back in 1999 called the warrior forum and I kept reading how people kept promoting their site to other sites
one by one so I came up with a software idea and got some one to make it for me... at was in 2002-2003 and that site and software it sold
from it made me some really good money until the market changed... and it happened so fast It hit me hard...
I also joined ebay and paypal around this time 2000 to sell my products online and I still have both accounts..
And also have 100% feedback on ebay from 701 transactions..
Well 1 year later or so I came up with another project that would also help people to promote their website a lot easier , but this time it was targeted towards
email marketing and help on-line businesses build there mailing list.
I ran this from 2003-2007 and again... made a lot of new friends.. and money... come late 2007 all things changed..
Family issue again hit me hard.. and knock me about for a few years.. then in 2009 I heard about bitcoin but did not do anything about it and
kept playing online games and just relaxing... this went on for about 2 years and then in 2011 I said I need to do something new...
So I started getting back in to programming... did a lot of VB 6.0 back in the day and started a bit of php and did that for a year
but I did not get anywhere fast ... until end of 2012 I got in to C++ and have been doing it ever since all that between buying mining hardware now..
and reading as much as I can about bitcoin and altcoins and what ever else is coming out...
(OH yer almost forgot.... I have been into buying and selling domain names since 2001 but never did get lucky in that sold a few for profit but not enough.. but did sell vericoin.com.au today..)
