About Us

At Inspanet, we share the real journeys behind creators and entrepreneurs — the wins, the fails, and everything in between.

We feature stories from YouTubers, coders, bloggers, founders, designers, podcasters, and side hustlers building something from scratch. If you’ve ever tried to turn a skill, idea, or passion into something more — you belong here.

What makes us different?

• No hype. No paywalls. Just real stories.

• Lessons that actually help — not just headlines.

• Focus on early-stage journeys, not just success snapshots.

We're building a library of modern creator and startup stories — and it’s free for everyone.

From the Founder

Hi, I’m Derrick — founder of Inspanet and the person behind just about everything you see here.

I’m a creator, blogger, editor, and webmaster. I also handle social media, though I’ll admit — it’s not my favorite part. If it weren’t for you — the readers — I probably wouldn’t be there at all.

Why I Started This

Right after high school, I was drawn to working online. The freedom, the flexibility, the chance to build something from anywhere — it pulled me in. So I tried it all:

•  Survey sites

•  Mobile apps

•  Blogging and vlogging

•  Even writing a novel (still working on it)

Not everything worked. Some sites failed. I got scammed. I missed chances. But I kept going. I kept learning.

What I Learned

Over the years, I launched multiple websites. Some failed from lack of funding. Others just didn’t catch on. But each try taught me something useful. That’s when I realized:

There are people just like me — trying things, failing, learning — who need to see that they’re not alone.

So I built Inspanet.

Why We Exist

Inspanet is a platform for stories — real, honest stories. You’ll find:

• Creator journeys

• Startup breakdowns

• Lessons, tips, and case studies

• Free insights to learn from others

We compare paths. We show different outcomes. We highlight what worked — and what didn’t. Because that’s where growth happens.

Want to Share Your Story?

If you’ve got a story to tell — a side hustle, a small win, or just a lesson you learned — I’d love to hear from you.

I also publish personal essays and open up spots for new voices on the blog.

Thanks for stopping by — and welcome to Inspanet.
