About UD

Who is the Unemployed Dad?

Really I’m just a regular guy who gave up a demanding job in event management to spend more time with my kids. So I am unemployed but I was lucky enough to make that choice myself.  I quit my full-time job in 2010 to focus on my true passion, which is running my small portfolio of websites.  I make money through advertising and internet marketing.  Thankfully these industries have persevered through the recession. It is a business filled with highs and lows that would not suit those who want a regular paycheck. However, at the end of the day I am building a business…something that can be sold down the road if needed. And of course I’m the boss, so there is no concern about getting laid off.

So what is this blog going about?

I found this domain name at a domain auction and it really clicked with me since I had just quit my job. My goal was to create a blog where I could share my experiences with anyone looking for a better way to make money outside of the 9 to 5 grind. I’ve actually launched a couple different versions of it that never really suited my tastes. Let’s hope that try number 3 has better success!

UnemployedDad.com shares insights into how I run my online business along with some more personal stuff about how I manage life a dad and entrepreneur.  There are literally thousands of different ways to make money online, and while I have not tested all of them, I will share what I do know to help other dads create their own revenue streams.

So that is the story of me and this blog.  I look forward to meeting new friends and sharing ideas along the way!
