Internet Entrepreneur Since 1997
Zac Johnson
Blogger, Builder, and Kid from the 80s Who’s Been at This Since Dial-Up
I’ve been doing this internet thing since 1997. Before Google. Before social media. Before most people even had email.
I started this blog back in 2007 and it’s still here because I never stopped having things to say. These days I write about fun things like money matters, old school memories from the 80s and 90s, money comparison topics, and whatever else is on my mind. No agenda. Just a guy who’s been online long enough to have seen everything twice.
My best advice for wherever you are in life or business: always “Appreciate Everything.“

MY STORY
From $1 Banner Ads to 30 Years Online
I made my first dollar on the internet in 1997 selling banner ads to strangers in AOL chat rooms. People mailed me actual dollar bills. It was ridiculous and I was hooked immediately.
Since then I’ve built email lists with millions of subscribers, launched sites that hit 100,000+ daily visitors, spoken at conferences around the world, and yes, lost it all a couple of times too. That’s kind of the point.
This blog is where I put everything I’ve learned, everything I remember, and everything I’m still figuring out.
