A short history of IncomeDiary
IncomeDiary was founded by Michael Dunlop, who launched his first website at 16. The site went live in March 2009 and earned about $5,000 in its first month.
Over the following years it became one of the best-known blogs about making money online. It interviewed internet leaders such as Craig Newmark (Craigslist), Bob Parsons (GoDaddy), Matt Mullenweg (WordPress) and Gary Vaynerchuk, and Michael appeared on Pat Flynn’s Smart Passive Income podcast in 2010.
Today the site holds more than 300 articles on online business, traffic, entrepreneurship and the world’s most successful founders, including our long-running Rich List of internet billionaires.
