Hi, I'm Andie Brocklehurst!

Here's a bunch of stuff about who I am and why I do what I do...

Andie the early years online...

After wasting many years climbing the traditional corporate ladder I finally woke up and realised that there was zero security in working for other people. And after a few years running a computer hardware and networking business, I remembered a hobby or 'side hustle' business that I'd run in my spare time that sold information in digitial format.

Of course back then people had to mail in cheques and I had to mail out floppy disks or CD-ROM's. By now the Internet had started to properly evolve and even with the terrible download speeds of the time, it opened the door to selling digital content in PDF format, etc.     

One of my first sites...

Here's a screen shot (thanks to the  WayBackMachine ) of one of my early business sites. You see, even back then I'd spent a crazy amount of time learning how to sell online and the one thing entrepreneurs of the time were hopeless at, was the Internet because it was still considered a techie thing.

Just by bringing old direct mail methods to the Internet put me streaks ahead of my competition of the time, and soon I was getting asked by friends and collegues how I was doing it.

Don't attempt to visit that domain today, I've not owned it for years (I dumped it when any domain ending 4u.com got marked down on the spamhaus system just because they ended "4u" and also because I just felt the domain didn't truely represent what the site was about. These days the current owner has it going to a dodgy landing page that attempts to install spyware into your browser.

I won't bore you with tales of many other web properties I've owned...

Because let's face it, all that really matters here is that you can see that I've been doing this a long time and I know what I am talking about. 

Over the years I've written and produced many training courses, books and videos that show you how to do the same kinds of things that I do, from home and make a decent income in the process. Some of the products I've released are evergreen. They discuss the how's and why's of online marketing rather than on using specific tools and platforms. Some are hot new ideas that are working right now and probably will for foreseeable future, but because technology moves fast they won't work exactly as written indefinitely.    

Sometimes I talk about Society11...

Out of all the sites, products and communities I've been involved with, Society11 is the thing I am proudest of. It's a secret society of like-minded, ethical marketers. Membership includes access to two live shows a week, a private FB group (one of the most active and bullshit-free groups in existence), a membership area packed with tools and training, and various other member benefits, all for a low monthly price that's probably less than most waste on garbage that won't help them. 

I'm totally unapologetic about that, because it is hands down the best value resource for anyone who wants to generate income online. Our members include low and no content publishers, kindle authors, gumroad sellers, domain flippers, site builders, product creators, copywriters and more. If it's connected to online marketing this is your one stop help centre and quite frankly you're crazy if you don't try to get in (shit peddlars and con artists need not apply).


Why some of my products are still in my old name...

The whole trans gen der thing...

In 2020 I came out publically as transgender, a secret I'd kept simply because I'd decided that although I KNEW when I was 7 years old, I grew up in a time and place where being trans was always portrayed in a negative light and quite honestly I took what I thought was the easier path at the time.

Roll on 40 years and I simply couldn't live that lie anymore and I came out as who I really am. 

But, I am hugely proud of everything I did when people knew me as 'Andy' and I'm not trying to pretend I am anything other than the human I am.

So now I spell my name a bit different and use female pronouns, but apart from that - I'm the same highly skilled, and very modest marketer!
