Matthew Woodward is an award winning internet marketer and blogger known for his highly detailed tutorials and case studies.
Matthew started his online career when he was 13 years old writing games reviews for a website which lead him to build his first website when competitive gamers needed a place to share their videos before YouTube existed. He gave up the corporate lifestyle nearly 5 years ago to focus on building out his own empire of sites one page at a time - In his professional career he has led international brands to success with his creative and out of the box internet marketing strategies.
The award winning blog was born out of an SEO experiment to see if it was possible to rank a website without any link building, purely focusing on creating high quality content. The experiment was a great success and the blog has gone on to win a number of awards quickly growing to a 6 figure blog.
In less than 12 months Matthew managed to build a blog that made over $73,000 profit and over 600,00 page views - he also won 5 major awards with the likes of ‘The Best of 2012', ‘ProBlogger One To Watch 2013', ‘Unbounce Top 75 Internet Marketing Blogs' and scored 2 Top 100 honours from Technorati.
