The Journey to Freedom
Hi, I’m Marc Gray!
I grew up in Scotland but have spent much of my life exploring the world.
Now, I call Croatia home…for now, where I live with my incredible wife Layla, our two daughters Freya (8) and Eira (7).
I really need to update the ABOUT page as we now are living in Scotland. We wanted a change and better schooling for my 2 girls. Also everyone in Scotland (almost everyone) is friendly and unlike the weak rude people that I personally experienced in the last place that I lived (almost everyone). Anyway I will update this section soon.
When I was 13 years old I left school, I didn’t graduate high school so I am basically self educated from my love of Reading, Martial Arts, Online Marketing and from Travelling,
At 18 years old, I decided to leave Scotland and set out to explore the world with no qualifications and no money.
I spent years on the tough streets of Glasgow so I became “Street Smart” which to be honest has helped me in some tough and dangerous situations when alone in places in Africa, Asia and Central America as well as many other places.
My first step?
Volunteering in Zambia at Children’s Town, deep in the African bush—a transformative experience that sparked my love for adventure.
From there, I was unstoppable.
Over the next 20+ years, I traveled to over 50 countries.
I worked in roles ranging from an armed anti-poacher in Zambia’s Kafue National Park.
I spent years again in the Bush and all over the World as a PMC (Private Military Contractor).
I worked in China during the SARS epidemic.
I backpacked through India twice.
Worked in Guatemala and hitchhiked through every country in Central America all the way down to the Darien Gap.
I trained volunteers in the USA about safety and what to expect in both Africa and India.
I could go on and on about all the places I was, people I met and craziness that I did or saw!
Despite all these experiences, working a traditional office job wasn’t for me.
So, like many, I searched online for “How to make money online,” and the rest is history.
Life Today
Today, I share my passion for online business with a global audience.
Over the past 12 years, I’ve mastered internet marketing, turning failures into a career that supports my family and gives us the freedom to live life on our terms.
Layla and I also manage Zadar Guided Tours, an online tour business.
Though my primary focus is helping others achieve success online.
What I Do?
On my platforms, I provide tools, tutorials, and insights to help people navigate the world of online entrepreneurship.
Whether you’re looking for honest product reviews, WordPress tutorials, or strategies to grow a sustainable business, I’ve got you covered.
Why I Do It?
My journey wasn’t always smooth—failures and challenges were plenty.
But each hurdle taught me invaluable lessons that I now pass on to others.
My mission is to simplify online business and help others achieve the same freedom I enjoy.

Hi Christopher, I have never had a problem with medium and using affiliate links as you can see in the training. Maybe it’s because I use a pretty link to hide my affiliate link or maybe it’s because I also do informational posts in between the affiliate posts. Though as I did say in the training I don’t use medium that much because I have this website and youtube channel and all the other socials. Did you get the OTO one? I really want people to succeed with the training that I give and sometimes you can just get unlucky with a platform like medium and of course they want to generate more traffic to their website… that’s the whole point of having a website and that’s why their domain authority is so high and why they rank so well.
Anyway Christopher as I said I always want people to succeed so if you do not have OTO one which covers another platform that you can change and use instead of medium then send me an E mail with the title spoke to you on chat and I will sort you out so that you won’t have the need to use medium and you will be able to generate a lot of real traffic. It could also be that because we sold so many copies that so many people are starting new medium accounts maybe without optimising them correctly and then just putting in naked affiliate links… Anyway if that is the case I should have anticipated that so as I said Please send me an email and I will sort you out.
My best, Marc
Hi Marc, I’m one of your customers. I set up a Medium page but apparently Medium does not like affiliate Marketers or people who use their site in an attempt to generate more traffic. Can you tell me how you got around this problem? I spent a lot of time working on it, and then had to delete it.
How is your journey going?
