Brian Clark is a writer, traveler, and entrepreneur. He's the founder of the pioneering content marketing website
Copyblogger, the personal growth newsletter
Further, and
Unemployable, a resource that provides smart strategies for freelancers and entrepreneurs.
Brian has started 10 businesses in the last 20 years, either solo or as a co-founder. The first one failed, but every company since has yielded higher revenue, profits, and happiness.
Clark began publishing online in 1998, and by 1999 he had his first entrepreneurial success thanks to an understanding of the emerging commercial internet. He went on to launch two additional successful businesses using purely online marketing and digital infrastructure, attaining even greater success.
In January of 2006, Brian started a one-man website called Copyblogger, which quickly evolved into an influential digital trade magazine for the
content marketing industry. Both
the Guardian and
Advertising Age have recognized Copyblogger as one of the most powerful and influential blogs in the world.
Copyblogger never took venture capital and made it to eight figures in annual revenue and high profit margins without advertising. The company created software-as-a-service, web hosting, WordPress themes and plugins, courses, and conferences — all completely bootstrapped.
It's been the dedicated service to the Copyblogger
audience that has been the catalyst for the multimillion dollar tools, training, and service company Brian headed up as CEO. In June of 2018, Clark engineered
the sale of the company's StudioPress division to WP Engine.
This level of success, plus Brian's early adoption of online content to fuel startup companies, makes him a recognized pioneer of the now $44 billion content marketing industry. You can read more about his history and business philosophy
