RetireAt21.Com - My Thoughts

When I was contacted by Michael Dunlop to do a review of RetireAt21.Com I was instantly excited. I’d been hearing a lot about his site lately, but I hadn’t had a chance to visit it. It seems Michael is starting to do some real promotion to an already good site, which I love, and it’s only going to improve the business he does there. So who is Michael Dunlop?

Michael is a self professed “young, dyslexic, college drop-out”. If that doesn’t make you want to keep reading, what will? So basically, Michael is a 19-year-old entrepreneur, living in Ghana (originally Sussex, England), that is trying to retire young using the internet as an income model. He’s in Ghana teaching conversational English in case you were wondering, not bad for a 19 year old kid. His business model, from what I can tell, looks good so far, and it’s only a matter of time before he starts making some real money. I’ve included a couple of pics of Michael, in Ghana.

Enough about Michael though, let’s get into dissecting his site.

The content on the site is good, albeit incredibly short. Although I think the content is great, there could be more of it… Michael starts to dive into the subject, and then stops just short of fulfillment. I think he needs to explore the subject further and offer more information. I know some of the topics have a lot of information to give, but you could break it up into smaller segments so that the readers still get what they are coming there for. Overall, the site is just cracking the shell of what it could be.

That’s not to say that it’s not enjoyable though. The content is superbly informative, and it’s chock-full of resources for every level of internet entrepreneur. In fact, some of my favorite content is the entrepreneur interviews that he does. Yaro Starak, Tyler Cruz, and Carl Ocab are a few of the interviews that I thoroughly enjoyed.

Overall, I have to say that this site is extremely enjoyable and packed with some great resources. I think that the only thing that really needs work is the content, not the writing, but the overall information that is left out. The resources, interviews, and the ask an entrepreneur functions are all fantastic, and really great ideas. I’ve added this blog to my Rss reader, I’m definitely curious to see how this goes for Michael, I’ll be rooting for him. Subscribe to the feed here.

    I am a dentist (orthodontist) in Dublin, California, and I’m older than 21. I have to say that I love my work, and even if I had unlimited wealth, I probably would still do orthodontics. So I will probably never retire. The best of luck retiring in the way which makes you happy.

    Very interesting, he’s definitely doing a good job. I just feel bad cuz I’m older than him and can’t even come close to retiring yet. lol

    Don’t forget his HORRIBLE use of English.

    “A lot of people spend 95% of there money on creating there website and 5% on promoting it, in fact it should be the other way round. Please do not make there mistake!”

    Their mistake, over there!

    For FLIP’s sake, can’t these people learn how to write?

    Interesting idea for a website. I think most people are closer to retirement at 19 than at 25, 30, or 40. It seems like after 20 or so, we dive into all of these financial obligations.

    If you decide to move to Ghana @ 19 and stay voluntarily simplistic, it’s not hard to do at that age.

    I know, because I did almost the same thing…

    Good Luck to you, I remember I thought the same @ 19- I will still retire early. It’s a long hard road.

    I’m no grammar Nazi…. in fact my grammar is pretty rough sometimes. I hate the misuse of their/there/they’re though. It’s one of my pet peeves and makes me not want to continue reading. I know that’s really not fair… especially when my writing is chock full of errors here and there.
