About

BarryWheeler.ca is a site dedicated to making money online, business, technology and Internet news.

My name is Barry Wheeler and I run several websites related to a variety of topics from hockey, macular degeneration, Newfoundland and Labrador Products and Services and dating and relationships to name a few.  Many of my sites developed through my interest in the topics or through my personal quest to learn new things related to making money online, business and technology, or just from my obscession with sports and technology.

I am a self-professed geek.  My computer experience began early at the age of 15 when I received a Tandy TRS 80 Color Computer as a Christmas gift.  I was hooked from the start, learned to program in Assembly and Basic , and expanded my computer knowledge throughout the remainder of high school.  After graduating College with a 2-year technology diploma in Business Computer Studies, I continued to develop my programming skills to include languages such as RPG, Cobol, C++ and Visual Basic, but quickly jumped on the Internet bandwagon as it emerged through the early 1990s.  However, I will be the  first to admit that I had not realized the commercial and money making potential of the Internet, and my geekdom overwhelmed me as many new technologies quickly developed in this virtual marketplace.

Recently, I recognized that I had to play catchup and utilize a strong background in running a successful computer consulting business, BEK Computer Services Inc, that is located in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.  In the last few years I have concentrated on developing an online presence for many aspects of business, including Affordable Web Hosting Canada, embracing a growing need for web hosting services for small and mid-sized businesses in a local market that has for some reason, lagged well behind the rest of the world in developing an online presence.

Using techniques that I’ve learned in search engine optimization and monetization of several websites previously developed, I jumped into the world of online marketing and making money online.
