About me. Hi, I’m Derek Barrington and at 80 years of age, I'm living proof that it’s never too late to start something new. Although my journey has been anything but ordinary: from 12 years of service in the British Army to working as a field service engineer, a driving instructor, and later a driving examiner, the most exciting chapter began when I decided to explore the world of online entrepreneurship.

After retiring, I realized that the traditional idea of retirement wasn’t for me. Indeed I wanted something more—a challenge, a purpose, and a way to stay connected with the world. That’s when I discovered affiliate marketing. This was no easy start. However, I spent over 20 years dabbling with mixed results. But in the past two years, everything changed.
With the help of a mentor and a supportive community, I began to see real progress. In just five months, I achieved more success than in the previous two decades combined. Now, I’m here to share what I’ve learned to help you skip the long, frustrating learning curve.

I believe retirement should be the beginning of something extraordinary, not the end. My mission is to:
• Inspire: Show that anyone, regardless of age or tech skills, can build a thriving online business.
• Educate: Simplify affiliate marketing and online entrepreneurship.
• Empower: Help retirees and others achieve financial independence and personal fulfillment.

On this blog, you’ll find:
• Practical Guides: Step-by-step tutorials on starting and growing your online business.
• Affiliate Marketing Strategies: Proven techniques to earn a steady income.
• Tech Tips: Easy-to-follow advice to conquer any tech fears.
• Personal Stories: Lessons from my own journey, shared with honesty and humor.

• Hobbies: I enjoy cooking, photography, and traveling to destinations like the Caribbean and the Mediterranean.
• Community: I’m active in my local church, an ex-servicemen’s club (where I’m vice president), and a charity choir.
• Values: I value resilience, humor, and the joy of helping others succeed.

I’d love to hear from you. Whether you’re curious about affiliate marketing, struggling to overcome tech challenges, or just looking for some inspiration, feel free to reach out. Together, we can make your retirement the most rewarding phase of your life.
