My first ‘Hello World‘ blog post was on 4th February 2009
Hello, I’m Steve King, and I’d like to give you a warm welcome to my site. It’s probably a good idea to kick things off by telling you a little bit about myself.
I’ve been working online since February 2009, but my online journey actually started in 2005 selling things on eBay. I’m still at it today, running an eBay Shop where I sell collectables, mostly pictures, posters, and postcards.
I am a Web Designer and I work in all aspects of the online world, building websites, tweaking them for SEO, driving traffic, writing sales copy, and setting up membership platforms, all tied together with sales funnels that work.
I’ve also managed several large email accounts and newsletters and have run multiple affiliate programs…and a whole bunch of other stuff that will just bore you.
Over the years, I’ve grown to love working online—it’s like having the keys to freedom, allowing me to work when and where I want. But beyond the flexibility, there’s also a great opportunity to share what I’ve learned and I create courses that help others succeed online.
I created my first information product in 2009, and since then, I have been lucky enough to be able to teach hundreds of people how to build part time eBay businesses, specialising in selling prints, posters, and postcards.
I also like to help people turn their passions into their own info products, which I do in my Info Product Studio Course
I live in the Wiltshire countryside (in the UK) with Emma, my girlfriend and Boris, who is definitely a Good Boy, but like all Golden Retriever’s he is only really interested in when his next mouthful of food is going to be ready!
Emma helps run our eBay shop and is always ready to try out whatever crazy creative idea I want to try next. She also keeps the books and makes sure we’re profitable as eBay Sellers.
When I am not working I can usually be found on a golf course
I love golf, I’ve played off single figures most of my life. I am still trying to break par, shot +1 many times, but it’s still on my to do list
In June 2024, I introduced Emma to the game. As all beginners do, Emma started with air shots and swearing.
We are now both members at Westbury Golf Club, which is great for beginners and has the bonus of only being 10 minutes away from home.
But having only started in June 2024 she currently has a WHS index of 37. has already broke 50 for 9 holes, made two birdies, several pars and has hit her first 200+ yard drive…and she has potential to be much lower, needless to say she is hooked on the game…happy days!
My love for golf and my online skills have helped me build a few golf websites and info products aimed at helping golfers improve their game. So if you’re into golf, I’ve teamed up with a PGA Professional Golf Coach to deliver high-quality online golf coaching which you can see at Weekend Golfers
My Online Career Timeline
I started working online in February 2009 and these are a few highlights of my online journey so far
2009
I wrote my first Hello World blog post on 4th February 2009 on my very first website
2010 – 2011
I created my first Info Product: an eBook called “The Beginner’s Guide To Sales” to share the Sales Techniques that I had learned in the offline world. I also built my first mini-site to accompany it
2012
I co-created the Weekend Golfers online golf academy with PGA Professional Golf Coach, Richard Lawless. We created a series of Video Golf Coaching Courses that were delivered via WordPress websites and Apple’s mobile apps
2013
I created Easy Auction Income with a vision to help people make money selling Digital & Printed Media on eBay, and throughout the life of Easy Auction Income I created 15 separate video coaching courses
2014
I created Profit From CD-ROMs.
This course shows you everything you need to know to sell digital media, on CD-ROM’s on eBay. I gave this course away for free to every Customer I had at the time
2015
I teamed up with Robert Corrigan for the first time and we created Profit From Posters, a course which shows you everything you need to know to start and grow a Posters business on eBay
2015
Robert and I also created “Easy Auction Income Platinum“, a 12-month Membership site which delivered 12 stand-alone coaching programs that were delivered on a monthly basis
2016
I created “Easy Auction Income Premium” to make the members lives a little easier, especially the non-technical people in the community. I created resources like eBay listing templates and Print Packs that were hosted on my servers, and that were easy to use, and would enhance the member’s chances of selling on eBay
2018
I sold Easy Auction Income but continued to provide technical support behind the scenes
2019 – 2022
I created Fore King Golf which was an amateur golf tour running golf events in my local area. Covid got in the way of the business making progress and after a few years of being in limbo I closed in 2022
2021 – 2023
I spent a lot of time creating websites to be monetised with display ads. This went well until Google decided to shaft small publishers with their HCU crap
2024
I re-acquired Easy Auction Income, rebuilt the membership site and also created a new coaching program called Profit From Postcards a course which shows you everything you need to know to start and grow a Postcard business on eBay
Today
I am currently updating and moving all of my coaching courses to this website. There’s a lot of work involved and it’s definitely a work in progress which I expect will be complete before the end of the year.
