About me
Hello! I’m Stuart McLeod.
For the past 18 years, I’ve been immersed in the fast-paced world of internet business. From humble beginnings importing products for eBay and running eCommerce stores to managing digital campaigns for 7, 8, and 9-figure brands, my journey has been one of constant evolution. Along the way, I’ve attended top marketing events and exclusive masterminds worldwide, gaining insights that have shaped my approach to the ever-changing digital landscape.
Fueled by countless cups of coffee (and plenty of trial and error), I’ve tested and refined a wide range of strategies, methods, and traffic sources to uncover what truly works online—and what doesn’t. In the process, I’ve learned some hard truths that many so-called “gurus” conveniently gloss over.
How It All Began
I’ve always been curious—fascinated by how things work and never afraid to experiment, even if it meant getting things wrong. My younger brother once joked, “I’m so glad I had you as a brother; you showed me everything not to do growing up!” That often meant trips to the local hospital or landing myself in trouble, but it also fueled a drive to figure things out for myself.
That same curiosity led me to take a leap of faith at 24, leaving a stable IT job at what is now a multi-billion-dollar company to dive headfirst into online business opportunities. Those early years were filled with excitement and hard-earned lessons. After 2 years and 10 months, I had to return to the grind, but I wasn’t done. Over the next 8 years, I worked within top companies, running digital marketing campaigns and mastering what it takes to deliver real results—all while dedicating my spare time to learning everything I could about building online success.
What I’m doing now
I’m currently focused on projects that blend online business growth and strategic investing.
