Success Story

From factory worker to PLR powerhouse

For years, Dave Nicholson worked side-by-side with John at Nissan, fitting parts onto car doors at breakneck speed to keep up with the production line. It was exhausting, repetitive work and both of them knew they were destined for something more.

After watching John successfully turn his eBay knowledge into a physical DVD course, Dave decided to follow in his footsteps by creating and launching his own product. Within just two weeks, he had his first product live.

Today, Dave has generated over $1 million in sales and is a leading expert in the PLR world.

Their Story

Striving to break free from the 9-to-5

Before discovering the power of digital products, Dave was stuck in a gruelling job at Nissan, working alongside John Thornhill himself. Their days were spent endlessly fitting parts to car doors, with little time to think about a better future.

That all changed when John created his first product. It was an eBay training course packaged onto a DVD. After seeing his friend make real money online, Dave realized that if John could do it, so could he. 

Determined to take control of his future, Dave created his first digital product in just two weeks. It was a simple guide, but it worked... and the the sales started rolling in.


Their Goal

Creating a sustainable income stream

While Dave had a successful launch, he knew he couldn't just rely on a short-term win. 

If he wanted to escape the 9-to-5, he needed a business that would generate passive income and allow him to scale his revenue over time.

The ultimate vision? A business that would keep growing, even when he wasn’t actively working on it.

'John's techniques stand out from the crowd and never fail to deliver.'

Their Solution

Leveraging PLR to scale fast

Dave quickly realized that he didn’t need to build everything from scratch every time.

Instead of just creating one-off digital products, he set his sights on creating PLR (private label rights) products. 

These are done-for-you digital products that customers could:

Rebrand, resell, and profit from instantly
Use to create their own products in record time
Turn into recurring revenue by offering PLR memberships

By following John’s proven launch system, Dave learned how to create high-value PLR packages and launch them to hungry buyers.

With each launch, his revenue and customer base grew and his authority in the industry solidified.

This is an actual picture of where Dave and John used to work.


Their Success

A multi-million dollar PLR empire

Today, Dave runs a wildly successful business offering a range of ready-made PLR content, including:

PLR Monthly: A subscription service providing fresh, done-for-you digital products every month. 
PLR Monster: A collection of 50+ ready-made digital products you can rebrand and resell as your own.
StoreBuildr: A tool for quickly launching online stores, launched in partnership with John himself.
