A former freelance writer who used to write under the monicker "JamestheJust" at Elance, I'm now living off a 100% passive income (well, not counting my book publishing: Duct Tape SEO and The Unfair Advantage).I'm retired from the job market and freelance writing, but write for my own web publishing business as an affiliate marketer, living thankfully on a passive income and enjoying working at home with my wife and kids.I have talked about a lot of what I've learned at The Average Genius, my main blog about making money online and search engine optimization (and everything it requires).Writing and marketing are passions for me...so is learning anything I can about SEO and traffic generation, WordPress, social media and digital marketing.I'm a father to 8, husband to 1 and I'm an easy-going Christian with friends from all walks of life, i.e.: I'm not the bigot some might take me for.A few things I try not to do: Talk politics.Hold up signs picketing some fool thing.Follow mobs much.Listen to talking heads on radio or TV.Debate for debate's sake (but don't get me started).Have been married to the woman of my dreams since we were 19, I never plan on changing that for all the tea in China (and I love tea).I enjoy SEO, internet marketing, writing and understanding the markets I publish in. I live on a passive income after hitting rock bottom, which in my case meant getting fired from a 'family' business from my in-laws. That was in July of 2010, I'd been at Elance since Fall of 2009 and learned SEO and copywriting for the web during that time.Thanks to what I learned, I was able to turn things around for the better, only now the web's given me an insatiable appetite for:Social Media MarketingSearch Engine OptimizationGoogleWeb TrafficConversion OptimizationWriting Like it Counts, and Until it HurtsPleased to meet ya.
