As we write this, it's February 2012. We could tell a really long story on this page, but we'll do the short version, and beneath the short version will give you links to pages on other sites of ours, or links to other pages that can tell you a bit more about us - should you care to know more about us.
The short version:
We're Teresa Schultz and Tony Flanigan. Also known as TnT Unleashed, or just TnT. Terry and Tony works best, and is what we call each other (besides Noo-Noo-Pie and Pooh)
February 2012:
We're 42 and 51 and live in East London, South Africa.
We work from home as freelancers, and also earn some extra income online (passive income from monetizing our sites with Adsense ads and other ads)
The freelance work we do (for people all over the world) includes web design, WordPress (.org - the kind of WordPress sites that need a domain registered and need hosting) design, set up and/or customization, Search Engine Optimization, domain registration, hosting, writing, Internet research, image editing, and more.
We started working from home just 4 years ago, and many months are still a struggle. However, we just keep at it (trying to grow our client base, and trying to increase our passive income earnings) because we believe we'll "make it" one day.
Most of our clients get page 1 Google natural search results for many pages of their sites. It's never a guarantee that we can get a client a page 1 Google natural search result, but we get it right a lot of the time - or of they have an existing site, we very often manage to improve their site's natural search results.
Just a few of our clients:
florida-lawyer.com
frikfoto.co.za
housebymouse.co.za
buffaloregatta.co.za
wavecrest.co.za
makanaresort.co.za
Although we are incredibly affordable, we are still struggling to get many new clients, often enough. We do not have much free time inbetween working hard to get monthly bills and living expenses paid, to advertise ourselves as much as we would like to and actually need to. We use mostly free methods of advertising, but these free methods of advertising often take up a lot of time. It's a vicious circle at times - work less and advertise more, or advertise less and work more? Ideally we need to sleep just two hours a night!
