About
My name is Brandon Yeager. I’m TheInfoPreneur.
Location: In a wooded, rural foothill of the Appalachian Mountains near Pittsburgh, PA.
Age: 37 Married & Have 4 Children. Boy – Girl – Boy – Girl
This site was founded by James Richmond. James is a spunky mate from across the Atlantic Ocean, living nearly a 2 hour train ride North of London.
James had the drive and desire to start this fantastic site on pure passion and perseverance. Unfortunately, he was unable to continue, due to a diagnosis, but has left in his wake a stream of followers, InfoPreneurs, who are searching daily to change the world by carving out their own little piece of this planet. I’ve been given the reigns and intend to make this site the #1 resource in the world for InfoPreneurs. I want to help change lives.
I am nobody special. I have some things I’d like to think I’m good at, but deep down, my drive to make this site as successful as possible, and help as many people as possible while leaving a legacy that I’ve impacted people’s lives propels me forward every single day.
James was a lot better looking, and charismatic than I. I’m handicapped by being an Electrical Engineer by degree, have had my nose broken – not once, but twice, and have very poor English (yes, believe it or not, it is my native language).
Employment: TheInfoPreneur.net, Seminars, and my Real Estate Business
I’m the owner of this site and it was built to show people you don’t need thousands of dollars to produce a popular website, all you need is plenty of fire, pure passion for your subject and that un-wavering belief that you can make it. I was an Infantry Scout in the PA National Guard for 6 years (Fort Benning, GA gets pretty hot in the summer). I worked as an Electrical Engineer, before freeing myself from the Rat Race by flipping properties.
I’m a huge Robert Kiyosaki fan, though I think his seminars are a waste of people’s money. His $10 book was enough in 1998 to light a fire within me. I continue to invest in Real Estate, but this site, and making information products and seminars, is my PASSION.
I love this site and it’s readers and I protect them ferociously. To me this site has been built by James, and everyone visiting. All I do is throw up some content or whip out a video on here, it’s you guys that have actually made it popular, and for that I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

James, I would like to subscribe to your blog by e-mail. I don’t go to my reader that often. Is the tutorial link your email subscription? Am I missing it somewhere? I want you to bring the heat to my in-box brother.

hey welcome along, looking forward to chatting with you
Here goes another attempt to interfere with your dinner. As duly noted by my third wife, ( a great woman-finally) I finished the fourth can of Red Bull to keep up with your entries. That would be 320 mg of caffeine.
This provided me with enough oxygen to visit some of your unofficial mentors as well. Great choice. One question before I relapse into my official Sunday’s coma:
The URL’s title, the blog title and the individual page entries. I figure that the url and the title of the blog should use the same keywords.. What about the individual page titles?
If these questions are imbecilic in nature, well I had a difficult childhood.
Thank you

Yeah I agree that individual page titles should be the keyword and appear in the url too. That said I’m no expert on seo or anything else for that matter Frank.
Caffeine rocks brother, check out BloggerIllustrated.com Allyn is the guy in the know a good friend of mine.
James – Love the posts and the comments but I still don’t see how you make any money from what you do. What else do you do for a job and to pay the rent?
Do you go to any seminars and if so what ones did you find it good to network at?
Where do you see the future of your blog and what does thte future holdd for the site. Possible seminar?

Hey Paul,
I have a full time job and actually at this point in time make no money from my online activity at all. I’m actually a truck driver and have literally just walked in from work. I am in the process of monetizing this site which should be done in a month or so. As for the future, yeah seminars would be great man I would love that.
What do you think?

I monetized my blog before my 1st post (still need to post material from my draft box). Having just spoke via Twitter, I agree having your own domain hosted site is paramount to adding to your long term credibility. I liked Blogger vs. Wordpress, simply to experiment with many of the tools available online before committing my hard earned dollars to my end game plan of using a Wordpress-domain-hosted site(s).
Hi Brandon! Well, after reading your About Me, I have to disagree with you. You very definitely ARE somebody special! Reasons:
1. Your modesty (what a trait!)
2. James hand-picked you, so that’s a HUGE.
3.You’re passionate about this topic.
And, I could go on an on from just what I’ve seen in the last several weeks, but, as you’re a family man (another good point) I wouldn’t want your wife to get the wrong idea!
I was really worried about James’ sudden exit. I have just barely gotten started myself, first last August with a blog that isn’t going to be marketable, etc. Now, with immediate plans for a new site, it is very comforting to know that you have the same attentiveness toward quality. I had just written in my diary, the day before the Hardest Post was published that there have only been two internet people that really moved me. Oh, there are a handful or so of people I read from time to time, and they are VERY GOOD teachers, couldn’t have gotten information without them, and I’ll name them all in my new blog when it’s up. I wanted to say that what I experienced with James and one other person I WILL name, Eben Pagan, was something that caused me to MOVE without hesitation and without looking back again. They both have very different personalities. One is quiet. One is excited. One’s been in this business 10 years. One is relatively new.
I wish I could describe what it was (and I’m a writer?) Whatever it is, unlike motivational speaking, where the effect leaves about the time you exit the building, it lingers…
Hey Sheila,
Don’t worry, my wife knows I’m passionate about helping people achieve financial freedom and changing their lives….not to the point that I commit adultery though, of course
, but she knows it is what I was created for. I HATED working 9-5. Hated it. (you know what…a great new post just popped into my head, I love it when that happens) I meet with others every week who hated working for the man.
I love what I do.
but, I do thank you for the comments.
And, I know what you mean about being worried about James sudden exit. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a fighter and will do/change/continue to work on me, this site, and others until we are all successful at whatever it is we are doing. But, I was really hoping it wouldn’t slam down to 10% of the traffic of what James was getting. So, If I can learn from him…again..as I mentioned to Gurl…more on that on the vid for tomorrow…hopefully it’ll come around.
Thanks! And Also, thank you for the in depth comment that helps me to really see what I can do to better myself, etc. Appreciate it.
Brandon
You reminded me of something I was going to also say: It takes a lot of bravery for someone to take over something that someone else started, for example, a new actor that is filling the shoes of an original cast member, and so on. So, you get points for that for sure. The only thing lacking is that nobody knows you or the type of excitement that YOU will emit—yet, which is so contagious and also entertaining. Once they do, they will associate you with this role. James built (and God bless him) an awesome foundation with which to build upon. If there were ever something to take over, this is the one. People who had tunnel-vision, never having an open mind or giving anybody a chance will leave, and MANY more who are objective. I can’t wait to see what you’re going to do! I’ll be following1
Hey Sheila,
I completely agree. It saddens me about James. But you know what, I know this is the type of stuff I was built for. I’ll learn as I go, and with everyone’s help and support, we’ll make this an awesome resource and community thanks to everyone’s support. Glad you’ll be following and I’ll need all the promotion and support everyone can offer. I also understand that if done right, people will want to tell others about it and that’s my goal in that respect. Have others just promoting the value of the site like there is no tomorrow.
Take care,
B
And yep, some will leave, new ones will come. I understand that. I’m very blessed to have a great team around me, an awesome community showing support, and a huge backlog of posts and traffic already started. Now, I just need to hop on the horse and hold on.
