Hello, I’m Joshua Lee! Long term passionate blogger with a growth mindset.

My mission is to inspire and empower others to build an extraordinary life of freedom through the internet. I’m a normal-ish guy from the Sunshine Coast of Australia and the sole force behind this blog. My passion lies in researching, analyzing and communicating by creating helpful content. I collaborate with other creators to ensure the accuracy and relevance of my articles, personally handling every aspect of this blog. I’m a huge fan of one-man-band online businesses and so, you won’t find any outsourcing here. Every word is my own! 😃

I started Work With Joshua in September of 2011, initially as an Multi-Level Marketing recruiting site. Ugh! 🤦🏻‍♂️ After quickly realizing the ethical issues with MLMs, I shifted my focus to champion integrity in the online world.

Today, not only do I actively campaign against MLM schemes but review a range of online business models and self help courses. My blog’s growth from a humble beginning of 0 readers in 2011, to a peak of over 250,000 monthly visitors in May of 2023, highlights how far I’ve come through hard work, commitment and reader trust.

I never doubted myself while growing this blog. Results just came a waaaayyy slower than I expected, but they eventually did come in a big way! Today, I’ve had millions of views, thousands of emails (but prefer Telegram for easier communication) and have positively impacted many lives along the way.

The world has come a long way since I started this blog 15 years ago. The landscape online is incredibly complex too, specifically in a world of AI.

Still, I continue to maintain a high level of responsibility to my readers. I achieve this through ethical affiliate marketing (my main monetisation of my blog, with FTC disclosures provided), in-depth editorial content backed by research and laying this out in layman’s terms.

I protect my headspace but not playing in that toxic space. The calm content that I create isn’t geared for the 4-second attention span of those scrolling away on social media anyway. I can listen to a 5-hour deep podcast without pausing, but a 15-second IN YOUR FACE video is simply overwhelming.

I do have a Facebook account that I rarely use (https://www.facebook.com/wwjoshua) and with a locked profile, you may not be able to add me, unless we have friends in common. I also have a LinkedIn profile here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/workwithjoshua

I’m also privacy-focused, and so, Telegram is the BEST way to contact me. I have a Telegram business account to ensure your message reaches me. I do, however, use Loom often to connect with coaches and consultants in the self-education space. If you have received one of those ice-breakers, you’ll know for sure that I’m a real person.

As I don’t use social media, I don’t really “follow” anyone. However, I do listen to a TON of podcasts and occasionally watch these on YouTube.

These 7 are my go-to:

• All In Podcast
• My First Million
• Lex Fridman
• Diary of a CEO
• Alex Hormozi
• Ryan Holiday
• Unemployable Media

I’m currently working with numerous coaches and consultants in the self-education space. If this is you, please reach out.

On the beautiful beaches of the Sunshine Coast, in Queensland, Australia.

And let me tell you: This is, quite literally, heaven on earth! ☺️

If you are on this side of this spinning blue marble, then please reach out! I’ve met dozens of people through my blog over the past decade plus.

With AI and internet searches being at an all-time low, paired with the gated-nature of social media platforms, bloggers have been challenged over the past few years. However, Google Analytics still shows thousands of people coming to my blog each month.

So thank you, from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for trusting me, reading my words and becoming inquisitive. I know some people are still coming back to my blog regularly 10 years on. I’ll continue to work and create right here.
