About
Hello there and welcome.
My name is Alan Petersen. I launched Internet Marketing Nirvana (IM Nirvana) in 2007 to help folks learn about affiliate marketing and info product creation.
I’ve been online since 1996. Around 1999, I Started making a little money here and there with eBay, domaining, and affiliate marketing. But, it wasn’t until 2005 that I got serious with affiliate marketing. I’ve published and marketed several websites in various niches — from bingo, deer hunting, language learning software, to hybrid cars and wine corks, I’ve built websites in many niches! I left my safe and rather cushy corporate America job in 2007 and I’ve been at this crazy business working from home since.
As the next step in my Internet marketing career I felt it was time to move from just doing affiliate marketing into product creation. My first product was an e-book called . I’ve published several information products (e-books, video courses, paperback books) since 2008. I love helping people learn so I continue to write and publish non-fiction, “how to” products. I like taking complicated, technical jargon and simplifying it for my customers.
On a personal note, I was born and raised in San Jose, Costa Rica. I moved to the U.S. to attend college and have been living here for 20+ years. I currently live in San Francisco, California. Before then I was living in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
This blog is part business and part personal. I’ll also post product reviews on things that I actually use and find helpful. I’ll also post about random thoughts I might have-even it’s non IM related. Please note, that I’ll be using affiliate links where I might receive a commission but that doesn’t sway my decision to write about a product or topic in one ioata.
I would love to keep in touch with you. You can do so by my subscribing to my feed:
That way you’ll receive automated updates when I have new posts here. I average a new post every few days.
I would also like to invite you to join my mailing list. I provide product reviews, information, and tips about Internet marketing. Some are products, some are free tools and resources. But each email will contain information that helps me so I want to share it. It’s not about making a buck. So give it a whirl. You can unsub at anytime.
