My name is Richard Kershaw. My mum tells people I “work with computers”. My dad has *finally* stopped telling people that I bet on greyhounds for a living.
I discovered affiliate marketing in summer 2005. I took a lot of persuading that making money online needn’t be anything to do with multi-level marketing, ponzi schemes or network marketing.
I earned my first commission – a whopping five pounds, c/o Empire Direct (RIP) – and I was hooked. I quit my day job at a low-rent startup six months later.
From Web Hosting…
My company, Quality Nonsense Ltd, publishes popular webmaster tool Who Is Hosting This, which lets you discover which web hosting company any site is hosted with.
Serving 200,000+ visitors worldwide every month, the site has been featured in the New York Times and LifeHacker, and is recommended by the Home Office and the Association of Chief Police Officers for dealing with terrorist content online.
…to Zombies
I’m also co-founder of experience days store Wish.co.uk. We’re best known for experiences like Zombie Shopping Mall, Riot Training and our near-legendary Romantic Break for Three.
Oh, and Stephen Fry loved our April Fool’s joke (even if our lawyers didn’t).
Since launching in summer 2011, Wish.co.uk has received press coverage in 20+ countries, including the BBC, CNN, Fox News and The Sun.
Over 150,000 people “Liked” Zombie Shopping Mall on FaceBook, while Stephen Fry, Simon Pegg and Lady Sovereign have shared Wish.co.uk with many millions of followers in 2012.
