About Me
I'm John Turner. I run four WordPress companies and experiment with AI on the side.
By day, I handle operations at SeedProd, Duplicator, RafflePress, and OnePageGA. These are bootstrapped businesses I've built over the past 15+ years.
In 2023, I started using AI heavily to manage the workload. What began as a productivity hack turned into an obsession with testing what AI can actually do.
The Backstory
In 1999, I graduated college and moved to Nashville to work as a web designer. About a week in, I came home and asked my roommate: "Is this all there is? You work, eat, sleep, repeat?"
He said "Yep."
That was the moment I decided I'd never be satisfied working for someone else. So I started building things.
My first product was eArtistManagement.com - a website builder for musicians. It never let me quit my day job, but it made around $1,500/month at its peak and taught me that making money online was possible.
In 2011, I released Coming Soon Pro for WordPress. It started as a free plugin that got 10,000+ downloads, then I added premium features. Made a sale on day one.
I worked a day job while building my business for 8 years. In 2018, I finally quit and went full-time on my own products.
What I Do Now
I run multiple WordPress plugin companies. It's a lot of work, which is why I got into AI - I needed to multiply my output without multiplying my hours.
On my YouTube channel, I document AI experiments. Testing boundaries, making AIs talk to each other, building tools like my auto-editor. No scripts, no fake reactions - just real tests and honest results.
I also build tools when I need them. Dictate is a voice-to-text app I made because I needed to talk to AI faster than I could type.
