Peter Carruthers

Four decades learning what small-business owners actually need.

I am a small-business adviser, trainer, writer and online marketer. Since the mid-1990s I have helped business owners reduce risk, market more directly, use email, package knowledge, build online income and choose technology they can actually use.

This site is my working portfolio for clients, publishers and affiliate partners who want to know who is behind the recommendation.

Why affiliate partners are relevant to my work

I do not see affiliate marketing as throwing links at strangers. My readers and clients are usually deciding what they need before they buy. My role is to explain the problem, compare realistic options, show how the tool fits into a one-person or small business, and then help them use it.

Education first
Reviews, comparisons, courses and practical explanations come before the recommendation.
Small-business audience
Owner-managers, solo operators, experienced professionals and people building an income stream.
Owned distribution
Email lists, long-form articles, courses, websites and LinkedIn content rather than a single advertising campaign.
