Chris Parker is the founder of WhatIsMyIPaddress.com, the number one IP address lookup website. Chris started the website in January 2000 and for the first five years his revenue didn't even cover his internet bill. In 2014, Chris was laid off from his corporate job and was faced with the scary opportunity to make his website a full-time business. Chris Parker Vroom Veer Stories Grew up in Tustin California and has lived within a 10 mile radius of home his whole life Went to Cal State Fullerton for about a year; not a great student--then attend the local community college for more years he wants to disclose; quit school when he realized his part time job was paying more than the what college grads were earning Worked in sales for a company called "Club Mac" selling Macintosh computers via a mail order catalog and in-person; not a great salesman; was talking people into buying cheaper computers Worked on IT and web stuff near the birth of the internet for Club Mac; at that time there wasn't an easy way to figure out your public IP address He build a server out of spare parts and set it up in his house to run the first version of WhatismyIPaddress.com.  No graphics, it just returned the IP address. At some point he was getting alerts telling him the harddrive was nearly full; the traffic logs were building up Verion .1:  He offered to answer questions via email; he just the email traffic to generate a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) list A few years later Google Adsense call along; and decided to throw up a banner ad and it made a little bit of money; neat! Warning!  Geek Content!:  The server ran in Chris's house from pre-google time until 2014; he had a half rack server with UPS's in case of power outage and a very high electric bill trying to keep the house under 90 degrees and he was spending way too much money paying for internet bandwidth His wife points out that it might not be the best idea to have all the business assets in their house; a break in would effectively kill the business Strange as it sounds there were about six co-location facilities in Tustin within 1 mile of his house; bring your server there and plug it into their facility and you rent power, bandwidth, HVAC, and security. In 2014 he was selling life insurance online; the economy tanked and people were getting laid off work; Chris was asked to transition from full to part time Went back to full time for a while; but eventually he was let go entirely; Should I get a job or work full time on the website business? They experimented with working on the business for six months; which made enough to keep going---he has now replaced his job income with the business revenue Version .2 of the website, no graphics, bar on top, bar on bottom and a wall of text Version .3 he hired a graphic designer to make the site look much better GRAPHICS! Version .4 hired a couple of content writers to create blog content related to online security and internet privacy How important it is to use a VPN (virtual private network) to secure your internet connection; most businesses out there don't know how to secure their network and the ones that do are breached all the time On a trip to Taiwan from Sinapore his wife gets sick; in the airport in Taiwan there was a medical station using an infrared "fever detector" to find sick people and put them in quarantine; Chris noticed in time to put himself the detector and his wife and they made through Barf bag of the month club for dog owners who get queasy when picking up dog poo; start collecting those barf bags from airplanes You can verify that your VPN is working on Chris's site; you can also verify the country of an IP address; helpful to verify an internet order before you ship Chris Parker Connections Website - WhatismyIPAddress.com

This was a super fun episode with Chris Parker where we covered a lot of things that we haven't before. Chris is a unique marketer in that he has more traffic than he knows what to do with, and we love the fact that he's built this system to give back to the world. He's the founder of WhatIsMyIPAddress.com, a tech-friendly website attracting a remarkable 9 million IP-seeking visits a month. We discuss the benefit of banner ads and using an aggregator, and the breakdown of how his site brings in revenue, plus the promotion of his in-house tools which you can find on his site.  Chris also talks about how he uses HARO to get interviews for his podcast, Easy Prey Podcast, and his recommendations on how to make your media page stand out to visitors, so perhaps even you will get on television as he did. Motivated by stories of cybercrime victims, in 2020 Chris created his podcast to help followers learn about scams, fraud, and other dangers they face online and in the real world. When your stuff is compromised things can go south fast, and you'll hear Chris's take on creating online log-ins, two-factor authorizations, and all the aggravation you want to avoid if you have to contact a website if you lose your information.  If you want to dive deeper into the quiz funnel idea that Chris discussed on the show, be sure to check out our show with Ryan Levesque, and if you want to dive deeper into Google ads, you'll love our show with Justin Brooke.   “I have the opposite problem that every affiliate marketer has.

In this episode of Hacker Valley Studio podcast, Ron and Chris are joined by Chris Parker, creator of WhatIsMyIPAddress. His website now reaches six million monthly visitors and began as a necessity to solve a technical problem, which you can probably guess, determine his IP Address. WhatIsMyIPAddress predates Google and was often found through the search engine AltaVista. For years, the site was simple, straightforward and didn’t have any graphics or markup (HTML). At some point, Chris stumbled upon a Content Management System (CMS) called Geek Log but quickly learned with the amount of traffic that it was best for him to manually code each page on his website. For quite some time Chris maintained the website, answered questions from users about IP Addresses, and created more content without receiving any monetary compensation. The advent of Google AdSense led Chris to realize that he could make a profit for hosting his website. Chris’s website is in the top 3,000 websites on the Internet and was managed out of his home office for over 8 years. As you can imagine, he received traffic from users across the world and was even the target of some cybersecurity attacks. However, keeping the functionality on his website simple, the biggest threat Chris faced was Denial of Service (DoS). After moving his website from his home to a CDN provider that blocks malicious traffic and bots, Chris saw a 90% reduction in web traffic to his website. This led Chris down the path of creating content about security and configuration. With such a large audience, Chris decided to start the Easy Pray podcast and help listeners learn how to avoid becoming easy targets for scammers and fraudsters online and in the real world. Chris recalls a story of a fraud group that scammed victims by telling the victim that they’ve won the lottery in their country but are unable to withdraw the winnings because of citizenship. This scam is not uncommon and has caused hopeful individuals to lose thousands and sometimes their entire life savings. Chris has set out on a mission to inform others of these scams and create awareness about online safety.   Impactful Moments 0:00 - Welcome back to the Hacker Valley Studio 1:44 - Introducing Chris Parker, Creator of WhatIsMyIPAddress 5:11 - Was the naming of the website intentional or was it incidental? 6:04 - Adapting and digital transformation 7:29 - Malicious traffic and cyber attacks 10:39 - Creating a more safe Internet with the Easy Pray podcast 12:43 - Unfortunate spam and scamming stories 15:18 - More about Chris’s goal to provide education to his listeners 18:40 - Learnings and takeaways to avoid being scammed 24:02 - Tools that Chris is using to grow and scale his business 26:51 - How to stay up to date with Chris Parker   Links: Learn more about Chris Parker and visit his website and podcast.

Have you or your family been victims of identity theft, phishing, romance scams, or any other scams?  The true stories and actionable advice you will hear on this podcast can help save you money, headaches, and more.     Chris Parker is the founder of WhatIsMyIPAddress.com and host of the Easy Prey podcast, which attracts over 6 million monthly visits. His website provides information on IP addresses, as well as easy-to-read information on how to stay safe online.   Chris realized that people need help recognizing the dangers and red flags before they step into a trap, not after they’ve been tricked and taken advantage of. The Easy Prey Podcast is the perfect way to reach a broad audience with stories and valuable information in today’s imperfect and sometimes dangerous world.   I want to provide a little background behind the launch of the podcast.  I launched WhatIsMyIPAddress.com the Dark Ages of the Internet back in 2000.  Over the years it has grown from my social to a technical issue to a hobby to a side hustle.  In 2014 when I lost my day job it became my full-time work. As the site started to grow, more and more people who are the victims of scams reached out to me for help.  There were the victims of romance scams, identity theft, phishing, lottery scams, and the list goes on. To some the losses were minimal and to others it was their life savings and beyond.  Regardless of the loss, my heart goes out to them. When looking back at the interactions there were plenty of warning signs that were either overlooked or outright ignored.     Many of those losses could have been prevented if they had only known what to be on the watch for. Over the years, I have had the pleasure of meeting and learning from experts in various industries and what to bring their knowledge and expertise to you.  You will hear true stories and actionable advice that will help you, your friends and your family from becoming Easy Prey.

Chris Parker is the founder of WhatIsMyIPAddress.com. In January 2000, WhatIsMyIPAddress.com was launched as a solution to a simple problem, finding his office IP address. Rather than panicking when laid off in 2014, Chris seized the opportunity and devoted himself full-time to his website, which now attracts over 6,000,000 visitors monthly. “doing things that challenge you, that make you uncomfortable… Building a network of friends and people you know that our entrepreneurs. Some that are further along the new and some that are just starting out but most importantly people that have a very different perspective than you that are fundamentally different people than you. The geeks like to hangout with the geeks and the jocks like to hangout with the jocks.

Chris Parker is the founder of WhatIsMyIPAddress.com which is a tech-friendly website he created in 2000. What began as an experiment turned into a side hustle during his extra time. Getting laid off from his full-time corporate job gave him the opportunity to fully devote himself to the website. Now the website is a resource for those concerned about online privacy, security, and freedom.   What You'll Learn: Chris shares his entrepreneurial journey, and it's filled with lessons. One of the big lessons for me was his calculated risk taking that many can relate to...when do you actually quit your job and go all-in on your business. It's a tough question because you're cutting out a big income stream and replacing it with a smaller income stream that can get much bigger in the future. In Chris' case, he was laid off and had to figure out how his side hustle would replace his income. Discover how Chris replaced the income and his advice for entrepreneurs in a similar situation.   Key Links From The Episode:  Want to see how we can work together?

My guest today is Chris Parker, creator of WhatIsMyIPAddress.com, a website that helps internet users with privacy and security. What’s so cool to me about having Chris on the show is that I’ve literally used his website for my entire professional career.  Before I quit my day job to take my web design training business full time, I worked in marketing and IT for a non-profit and for the IT part of my job I’d go to his site to grab our IP address for vendors, for troubleshooting, for all kinds of things.  Yes, I’m a secret nerd. And in case you’re wondering what the heck an IP address is, it’s a nine-digit number that identifies whatever network or wifi you’re computer or phone is connected to. The router you got from your cable company has an IP address, and anything you do from home online is attached to that address. When you connect to wifi at Starbucks, anything you do from there is attached to Starbucks IP address. I actually have sent over 10,000 people to Chris’s website from inside my free web design training to go find out their IP address so that they can enter it into the website security plugin I recommend in the training and whitelist it so that the security plugin doesn’t block them from doing certain things. But anyway, this episode isn’t about the tech, it’s about the person behind the tech, and how a simple website that solved a problem evolved into a 7-figure business. Today we’re talking about: How WhatIsMyIPAddress.com wasn’t even intended to be a side hustle. How Chris earns income while providing a free service. How much traffic you need to be able to make a significant amount of money from display ads. How Chris discovered affiliate marketing, advice for finding affiliate programs for your niche, and things to avoid with affiliate programs. How Chris and his wife made the decision to take the business full time. How Chris strategized to meet his 3, 6 and 9 month revenue goals once he took his side hustle full time. What a typical work day looks like for Chris as a 7-figure business owner. How to be more productive. The one belief Chris had to change about himself to get where he is today. My favorite quotes from Chris: “You’re the guide to their story, not the hero to their story.” “I wanted to maintain quality of life in the process [of building my business].” “I don’t have to figure it all out tomorrow.” Resources Mentioned in this episode: Bench Accounting Built to Sell* The E-Myth More About Chris: Chris Parker is the founder of WhatIsMyIPAddress.com, a tech-friendly website attracting a remarkable 6,000,000 IP-seeking visitors a month.

In 2014, Chris was laid off from his corporate job and was faced with the scary opportunity to make his website a full-time business. Chris Parker Vroom Veer Stories Grew up in Tustin California and has lived within a 10 mile radius of home his whole life Went to Cal State Fullerton for about a year; not a great student--then attend the local community college for more years he wants to disclose; quit school when he realized his part time job was paying more than the what college grads were earning Worked in sales for a company called "Club Mac" selling Macintosh computers via a mail order catalog and in-person; not a great salesman; was talking people into buying cheaper computers Worked on IT and web stuff near the birth of the internet for Club Mac; at that time there wasn't an easy way to figure out your public IP address He build a server out of spare parts and set it up in his house to run the first version of WhatismyIPaddress.com.  No graphics, it just returned the IP address. At some point he was getting alerts telling him the harddrive was nearly full; the traffic logs were building up Verion .1:  He offered to answer questions via email; he just the email traffic to generate a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) list A few years later Google Adsense call along; and decided to throw up a banner ad and it made a little bit of money; neat! Warning!  Geek Content!:  The server ran in Chris's house from pre-google time until 2014; he had a half rack server with UPS's in case of power outage and a very high electric bill trying to keep the house under 90 degrees and he was spending way too much money paying for internet bandwidth His wife points out that it might not be the best idea to have all the business assets in their house; a break in would effectively kill the business Strange as it sounds there were about six co-location facilities in Tustin within 1 mile of his house; bring your server there and plug it into their facility and you rent power, bandwidth, HVAC, and security. In 2014 he was selling life insurance online; the economy tanked and people were getting laid off work; Chris was asked to transition from full to part time Went back to full time for a while; but eventually he was let go entirely; Should I get a job or work full time on the website business? They experimented with working on the business for six months; which made enough to keep going---he has now replaced his job income with the business revenue Version .2 of the website, no graphics, bar on top, bar on bottom and a wall of text Version .3 he hired a graphic designer to make the site look much better GRAPHICS! Version .4 hired a couple of content writers to create blog content related to online security and internet privacy How important it is to use a VPN (virtual private network) to secure your internet connection; most businesses out there don't know how to secure their network and the ones that do are breached all the time On a trip to Taiwan from Sinapore his wife gets sick; in the airport in Taiwan there was a medical station using an infrared "fever detector" to find sick people and put them in quarantine; Chris noticed in time to put himself the detector and his wife and they made through Barf bag of the month club for dog owners who get queasy when picking up dog poo; start collecting those barf bags from airplanes You can verify that your VPN is working on Chris's site; you can also verify the country of an IP address; helpful to verify an internet order before you ship Chris Parker Connections Website - WhatismyIPAddress.com
