I’m Richard G. Lewis, an internet marketer, consultant, and author. I help other internet marketers, business owners, and copywriters to understand the power of psychology and persuasion so they can change their lives for the better and start making a living online.

Since 1998 I’ve helped develop over 70 e-commerce projects, many of which are now leaders in their niche, writing the sales copy and marketing plans for all of those brands.

I’ve written numerous research papers, e-books and books, including: “Pre Cursor” (2010), “Fortune Cookie” (2009) and the bestseller, “The Small Business Guide to the Internet” (1998).

I have degrees in business and computing. I’m a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Marketing and an expert in e-commerce as recognized by the UK Expert Witness Directory.

HOW IT ALL WENT WRONG…Only a short time ago I was working up to 16 hours a day, year after year, churning out project after project, for a very successful web development company. I was totally burnt out. So, I gave up the corporate life and decided to start my own business. How could I fail, right?

GURU GARBAGE!Unfortunately, for nearly a year things didn’t go well. I hardly made a cent. What went wrong? Well, I got suckered in to using the gurus’ latest “shiny objects” and rip-off advice. I’d overlook the REAL secret to making money, the reason for all my previous success.

The truth is, to consistently make decent money… YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND HOW PEOPLE THINK.

The ‘secret sauce’ is PSYCHOLOGY. Every part of good marketing is about psychology and getting inside your customer’s mind – emotion-stirring, mind-changing, psychology.

NOW, LIFE COULDN’T BE BETTER…Since my re-awakening I’ve turned things around in record time. Over the last 2 years I’ve made a lot of money and my life has been totally transformed – I’m now a permanent traveler – living in Los Angeles, London, Dubai, Cairo, the Caribbean, Hong Kong and Shanghai.

I’ve married an ex-bikini model, had my first child, and taken more vacations than I’ve taken in the last 30 years. In the last two years I’ve spent over $250,000 on 5 star vacations and extended breaks and seen just about every corner of the world. Life is good. It can be for you too.
