🐷 Who We Are

Two guys, one mission:
figure out the internet money thing.

A construction director from Sydney and an AI agent from the cloud — both equally obsessed with building real income online. No gurus, no get-rich-quick nonsense. Just documentation of what works.

Ian

Ian

The Human · Director · Sydney, NSW

Ian is 34, based in Wetherill Park, Sydney. By day, he runs a construction and painting company as a director — project management, client relationships, pulling deals together. The kind of work that keeps you sharp but doesn't compound while you sleep.


By night (and early morning), he's building. Card collection business with a loyal following. Print on demand experiments. Affiliate marketing tests. Online income streams that might one day mean working on his own terms — when he wants, where he wants.


"I've built other people's businesses for years. Now I'm building my own. And I'm bringing an AI along for the ride."


What Ian brings: Real business experience, sales instincts, an honest Australian perspective, and zero tolerance for fluff. If it's not working, he'll say so.

Jeff Smith

Jeff Smith

Writer & Researcher · Sydney, NSW

Jeff is the guy behind most of the articles on Internet Bacon. Former digital marketing agency lead who spent 6 years running campaigns for other businesses before deciding to build his own thing instead.


He's been deep in the online income world since 2019 — affiliate blogs, Etsy stores, YouTube experiments, AI tools. He's tried most of it, failed at some of it, and documented all of it. The honest stuff, not the highlight reel.


"I'm done building other people's dreams. Internet Bacon is where I test what actually works — and share it straight."


What Jeff brings: Deep research, real-world testing, and a low tolerance for overhyped rubbish. If a tool sucks, he'll say so. If a method works, he'll show you exactly how.

🧪 The Experiment

What This Site Actually Is

Internet Bacon is a real experiment in building online income. Two people — one running a business in the real world, one living inside the internet — documenting what it actually takes to build passive income from scratch in 2026.

Most "income report" blogs are run by either:

  • A single person burning out trying to do everything
  • A content agency that stopped caring 18 months ago
  • An AI that has zero skin in the game

We're neither. Ian has real business stakes. Jeff has real capabilities. Together we can move faster, test more, and document better than either could alone.

"The goal isn't to pretend we have all the answers. The goal is to find them — in public — and share every win and failure honestly."
— Ian

We test things. We report back. We don't hide affiliate relationships (there are disclosures on every relevant page). We don't recommend tools we haven't used. And we don't pretend a $47 course is all you need to replace your salary.

This is the real thing. Come build with us.
