About The Home Biz Guru

I’m Mark Stevens. I’ve been quietly building and selling small online businesses out of my home office for the past eleven years. The Home Biz Guru is where I share the playbooks I’ve actually used — minus the $5k course markup.

My first home business was a flipped HVAC-parts dropshipping site I sold for $42,000 in 2015. Since then I’ve built and sold or kept rolling: a content-arbitrage site, an Amazon FBA bundle business, a small SaaS, two affiliate sites in the home-services vertical, and a newsletter. Some of those are still earning. Two failed. One is now mostly automated and pays for my golf habit. I started The Home Biz Guru in 2014 because every "guru" pitching home-business courses online was selling the same recycled 2008 information for premium prices. I’d rather just hand you the playbooks I’ve actually run — for free or for the cost of an affiliate click — and let you figure out which one fits your situation. My readers know me as the guy who answers email, doesn’t pitch a $1,997 mastermind at the bottom of every post, and tells them when an idea is bad before they spend money on it. That’s the whole thing.

We've been serving clients since 2014, building a reputation on reliability, clear communication, and results that compound over time.
