Millionaire claims honeymoon job was his key

This man will do anything to succeed, including a honeymoon.

Karl Hudson is a 33-year-old entrepreneur who earns seven figures a year from investments, agencies and personal businesses, which allows him to live a life of luxury, but it comes at a price .

Hudson, from Newcastle, England, admitted to Jam Press that working 18 hours a day was taking a toll on his marriage.

Hudson, who married wife Charlotte in July after eight years of marriage, said his “ongoing work may give rise to questions and controversy”.

He takes Charlotte, 33, on holidays six times a year, but he never stops working – he takes his laptop everywhere, including on their belated four-week honeymoon in Australia and Bali.

This year alone, the Hudsons have visited Thailand, Poland, Vietnam, Spain and the Philippines — “but the work doesn’t stop.”

“If I have to use my laptop when I’m out and about, that’s what I do because the money means the next trip will be better,” he claimed. “My job allows us to have the finer things in life, and she absolutely loves that.”

“I’ll never change,” Hudson declared.

Charlotte was familiar with her husband’s work ethic on another level: he was her employer.

Charlotte is a content manager for a Hudson-owned company, a backlink building company called Searcharoo.

“My wife knows I can focus on work, but that’s a sacrifice we have to make in order to live the life we ​​have,” he said.

“There have been times in my career where I’ve worked 18 hours straight, but that didn’t bog me down. I found it impossible to stop because I loved what I did,” he added. “The harder you work, the more you get.”

Hudson typically reinvests most of his income, but he also likes to treat himself.

The couple and their two Yorkshire terriers live in a house worth around $455,500 (£350,000). He also bought a $45,000 (£35,000) Ford Ranger Wildtrak, while his wife drove a $71,000 (£55,000) BMW X5.

“I’m not one to show off my money, though – I’m actually a pretty conservative person,” he said, noting that their current lavish lifestyle is a far cry from the life Hudson had when she was growing up.

Growing up in council housing in a tough area, Hudson believed that to succeed you had to put your heart and soul into your work.

“Growing up in a tough area of ​​council housing always helped me stay humble,” he shares. “Even though we lived in the area, I had a great upbringing and my SEO journey actually started in that house.”

Hudson’s father, a life coach, needed help designing a website and asked his son for help because he knew he was “a huge fan of computer games.”

“In those days there was a lot of trial and error and a huge emphasis on mistakes – it was the perfect way to learn.”

Hudson launched his first website, Searcharoo, in 2018 from his parents’ bedroom.

When he started SEO, it was also “very different” than it is now.

“You could just spam and things would rank, the trickiest part was all the algorithm changes and trying to test what worked because Google wouldn’t tell you,” recalls Hudson.

“So connecting, testing and sharing ideas with other people is something I’ve done over the years that has helped me gain an edge that has definitely contributed to my success.”

Hudson attributes his financial success to his desire to never give up when things go wrong — something he believes is difficult for today’s generation to do.

“Unfortunately, technology has made everything so easy and I worry that the younger generation has lost that passion,” he said. “Gen Z wants everything to be handed to them, but that’s not the real world—I’ve gotten out everything I put in.”

“Young lads wouldn’t dream of working on holiday, but if they want a life like mine, that’s part of the grind.”
