About
As you can see by the header, I’m Rachel Rofe. (Ro-fay! Not Roof, Roaf, Roofie, or whatever else you can think of. 
).
I’m currently living in Scottsdale, Arizona, but who knows where I’ll be in the next few months. In the past few years I’ve lived in San Diego, Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, Los Angeles, and Philadelphia. I’ve done several cross-country road trips and have been to 49 out of the 50 states (last one is Hawaii!).
I absolutely LOVE to travel. I love everything about it. I always squeak and get giddy when I press “Buy” on a plane ticket, and then I love everything about going to new places. I love seeing new things, meeting new people, learning different things, and talking to people completely different than I am. It is by far one of my favorite things in life.
I also love to push myself out of my comfort zone and learn and grow myself. I’m forever reading, doing new lifestyle change trials, taking new classes, or doing something that seems completely random.
I can’t ever learn enough and am always asking a million questions.
I’m able to travel so much and fund my crazy lifestyle with internet marketing. Because all I need is a computer to work, I can work from anywhere in the world. Heck, half the time I don’t work at all, since I have virtual assistants helping take care of customer emails, order fulfillment, and stuff like that.
I might come up with an ebook or something to explain step by step how I do that, but in the meantime, feel free to head to my Recommended Products page. That goes over the main essentials of how I run my business.
Throughout my internet marketing career, I’ve tried all sorts of things. I’ve done affiliate marketing (where you sell products for other people and get a commission), copywriting (where you write promotional material for other people in order to help them sell their product), membership sites (where people pay you a monthly fee for some kind of service), site flipping (where you create sites and then sell them for a higher profit), and marketed my own information products that people paid for. I also have a company where we promote other websites and small businesses at Burn Your To Do List.
Internet marketing has been pretty lucrative, but I seem to go back and forth on it a lot. I don’t like being at the computer a lot, and I crave human interaction. Also, probably half of my income comes from products I have in the “make-money” niche. While I believe in those products and know they work, I still can’t help but feeling a little dirty sometimes with that kind of stuff, you know? I guess it’s the stigma attached to it.
I’ve been talking for YEARS about working on my blog full time, but for some reason, I haven’t done it. I don’t know why – I guess I thought it’d be hard to make money with a blog. It’s easy to ignore a dream like that when you know you can make an easy high 5 to low 6 figures in a month or two creating an information product.
That being said, I’ve decided to start blogging more, until the point when I can consider it my full time income. While I plan on making money out of it, I’m not doing it BECAUSE of that. I’m doing it because people constantly tell me how much I inspire them, and I know I have so much more to offer to the world than what I feel like I’m doing now. I know I can show people what’s possible in life by sharing my stories. I want everyone to know what an awesome world we live in. I want to be able to communicate with people. I want to teach what I’ve learned. I crave communication, I crave interaction, and I crave more friendship. My soul ACHES to inspire and help people more, and I’m finally doing it.
My ultimate plan is to live a 100% authentic, fun, happy life where I’m only doing what I LOVE and having other people do all the rest.
Thanks for being a part of my journey.
Hi R,
Sorry to report Sara’s number has been disconnected, but thanks for trying.
Boo!
Oh well. Are you going to try to drive up to Flagstaff anyway or no?
Hi Rachel,
I’m trying to find a way to promote your product residualincomeformulacourse.com
Can you direct me to the affiliate sigup page? I know Jit Uppal is promoting it and I cannot find the affiliate page from his link.
Thanks,
Peter
Hey Peter,
We actually sold that product as PLR right here: http://bit.ly/bwuRyV – so you can purchase PLR to the course outright if you’d like, OR you could sign up as an affiliate. Jit purchased PLR so I’m not sure where his affiliate link is. If he doesn’t have an affiliate program, you’re welcome to sign up for the one at MakeMembershipSites.com (affiliate link at bottom).
With love,
Rachel
Thanks Rachel,
I appreciate the information.
Peter
Hi Rachel,
I just stumbled upon you from Jason Fladlien recently and I gotta tell you how much I love your whole blog, your about me page and everything that you put up on here (will need to take a weekend to digest all this great stuff you have here). I especially like the fact that you’ve made your blog a girly feel because this is exactly how I wanted to have my blog look like too.
I started my internet marketing career about six months ago and am in the phase of sorting things out still and have yet to make any money with it. I know it is possible though so I am sticking to it and will not stop until I make it. I can definitely relate to you though because I too love to travel and sitting behind a computer all day long is just not my thing but I do want to help others, that is my passion and that is part of the reason why I’ve named my blog Valuable Internet Marketing.
It is hard to decipher what’s real and what’s not in the online world but it’s people like you that give me hope and know that I can do it. On top of that you are a woman and there are not that many women marketers out there, which will change very soon! Thanks for being an inspiration and keep on doing what your doing and follow your passion. Take care!
Anna
