I've been running iNet Ventures, an SEO and digital PR agency, since 2013. What started as a one-person operation with cold emails and stubbornness has grown into a business that's delivered 25,000+ editorial links for agencies across the UK and beyond. The biggest lesson? Client acquisition is harder than the actual work — and nobody tells you that when you start.

These days I'm also building AskZyro — free AI tools, answers and resources, with a smart free AI chat anyone can use. Ask. Solve. Do more. It came from a genuine frustration: too many AI subscriptions, too little output. So I built the thing I wanted to use — and made it free.

Beyond the agency and AI products, I run GamerBolt (gaming media, 15K+ monthly readers), Click Travel Tips (AI travel planning), Agile (a workplace culture publication running since 2009) and PS2Home (pure PlayStation 2 nostalgia). I also collect domains — some good decisions, many regrets.

I write primarily about business and AI — the things I'm building and the lessons I'm learning. No editorial calendar, just honest writing when something's worth saying.

Outside work

Travel, Villa, too much coffee. That side of things lives on Instagram — not here.
