About Raymond Burton – My Backstory
I’ve been online doing fitness and marketing my services since 2002. That’s when I left the Canadian Army after a tour in Bosnia and moved to Calgary Alberta, Canada.
I became a certified personal trainer, and released my first digital product: A downloadable bodyweight workout program you could do at home to burn fat, build muscle and get flexible at home called: Commando Cardio. I added videos to it a few years ago, and it still sells to this day.
I still enjoy helping people get in shape and you can see all their results and testimonials here.
Back in 2002 when I wasn’t helping people get in shape in the gym, I also earned passive income through the Google AdSense program.
I created niche websites by the dozens and filled them with my keyword-stuffed articles. Those were the old days of brute force SEO. But it worked back then, and the cash was plentiful.
I’ve gone from hand-coding HTML web pages to watching AI churn out better content than Hemingway.
So, I can tell you about trends, waves, patterns, what to watch out for, and where to double down.
Where is Raymond Burton from?
I was born in the harbor town of North Sydney, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. That’s in Canada. The smell of salt water and seaweed is heaven to me.
North Sydney had one set of stoplights, a ferry to Newfoundland, and a Tim Hortons. Everything else was transitory.
As nice as that is, my father joined the Air Force when my existence was announced. And after his basic training, we left and hopped from base to base until he retired 18 years later.
At which time we moved back to the sea and I joined the Army to be off on my own adventures.
I did a tour of duty in Bosnia before finishing my 3-year military contract in the infantry and moved to Calgary Alberta to start a personal training business and begin coding.
