About
Leaving The Day Job is the blog of Simon Briggs, who previously blogged under the pseudonym of “Monty”.
At the time I created this blog I was trying to leave a day job I hated by becoming an affiliate marketer. The blog followed my thoughts, triumphs and failures and passed along the little bits of advice I managed to gather on the way.
These days I work in a web project manager type role in the public sector and keep my hand in with a little affiliate marketing on the side. It provides me a few extra pennies to spend on shiny gadgets and cold beers. I’m still having thoughts, triumphs and failures on a regular basis and will try to pass them on as best I can.
I’m 33 years old and live in the Midlands with an empty fishtank, a pile of unwashed laundry and too many computers. You’ll find me on Affiliate4U with the username Mainlime
