About

stephane kerwerI was born on January 29, 1981. I grew up in Nantes, a small city in the South of French Britain. My parents were from modest origins. My dad, coming from a family of farmers, was an accountant for the national railway company, and my mother was a French teacher from a family of factory workers. Due to their origins, both of them knew what it meant to lack the most basic things in life and they tried to teach me that.

Being born in the beginning of the year, I started school one year earlier than usual for kids of my age. Since I didn’t really see the benefits of it, I consider it as a pretty bad experience. Mainly because I was always the youngest person in my class, I was generally regarded as the child of the class.

The first relationship of my life than I can consider as being friendship started when I was fourteen. At that time, I met some neighbors of my family. Being four brothers, they seemed to always have fun together. It took me some time to become friends with them, especially because I was not for the same social class and I think that I was lacking proper manners to receive reasonable consideration from their parents. I eventually became a friend to some extent with the two oldest brothers, of which one was a few months older than me, and the other was about one year older than the former. We did spend a few vacations together. In fact, I was really close to the older of these two. He was a very nice guy, always kind to people, always fun, always in a good mood. In a lot of ways, he was a sort of a role model for me. Someone I was looking up to. To me he was probably like the nice older brother that I didn’t have.

About two years later, I discovered for the first time how fucked up life could be. My friend was struck by a cancer when he was seventeen. For some reason that I didn’t know at that time, the cancer did spread scarily fast. I saw him going through the suffering of sickness. From all the people that I knew, he was the one who deserved it least. But life is unfair.

As if it was not enough, my mother discovered that she had breast cancer and she was going to fight against it for the next ten years.

The friend lost, the mother sick, school on bad tracks: obviously, I was sliding down in the wrong direction. This could have ended pretty bad if in the middle of High School, my parents would not have taken the decision that I should change of school. I did hate that, but it turned out to be a wise choice. It did take me away from the ‘fuckups’ i befriended with in my previous school.

I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life, but some encounters led me to The Architecture School. This had nothing to do with marketing but it did teach me how to defend my ideas when I strongly believed in them. It also taught me how to organize a project from scratch to the final steps. These are great assets concerning advertising and marketing that I am using now on a daily basis.

I officially became an architect in late 2007, to quickly understand that I was probably not really made for this line of work. The time spans for projects are scary, it can take up to 10 years from the first sketch of a project to its completion. Also, the construction field is already filled with people who all want their share of the pie, which means that your margins are shrinking down to peanuts.

Nearly at the same time, a life changing event occurred: the death of my mom. She has been a great example of will and dedication for her whole life; for ten years, she has fought against the illness which was destroying her. This made me realize that you don’t have eternity to achieve what you want in life. I took some time for myself, focusing on the lifestyle I wanted to achieve and the means to get there. I had been postponing the launch of my personal blog since ages, but when I lost her, I had to get things out of me, this is how I got into blogging.

I have always been passionate about computers and electronic stuff. The first computer we had at home was an Amstrad PC 1640. This was really good, especially considering the fact that we didn’t really have money for this kind of stuff. I was so fond of computers that my parents had to put some restrictions to prevent me from spending all my days in front of the screen (yeah, I was already like that). When I graduated high school, my parents connected our computer to the internet and a whole world opened to me. I kept it a hobby during my architecture studies. But when I started my first blog, being a very curious person, I looked into ways to make money online.

My first earnings online were made through a videogame called Entropia Universe. There, as a pro trader, I had access to a huge database of prices, which was giving me a clear advantage to buy and sell stuff. In a few months, I made a few thousand dollars. This is when I realized that I could make some serious cash online.

After some research, I discovered CPA Networks and affiliation. It was a mind-blowing discovery. This was the opportunity I was seeking to get the life I wanted!

During my life, a lot of people didn’t believe in me and kept telling me that I was too much of a dreamer, that I was never going to make it. In the beginning it did hurt me pretty badly. Oppositely, it became my strongest motivation. I have an ambition to show these people that they are wrong, that if you have dreams, you should never give up on them! It’s all about dreams, hope and work, and work, and work…

I jumped into internet marketing, and here I am now, being the successful super affiliate that I am and no one will take it away from me, ever! Now, let’s make some serious cash!
