His professional journey commenced in 1991 at the Austin American-Statesman, followed by positions as a city hall and sports reporter for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram and KRLD radio, respectively, contributing to the growth of his net worth. Subsequently, he served as the news director and morning anchor at KKDA-AM radio in Dallas, as well as the editor for the Dallas Weekly and the Houston Defender newspaper.

In the early 2000s, Martin became the founding editor of BlackAmericaWeb.com, pushed the publication of the Dallas-Fort Worth Heritage newspaper, and also founded the ROMAR Media Group in Dallas, all of which helped to increase his net worth. He later headed the Chicago Defender as the general manager and hosted a radio talk show for Chicago’s WVON-AM in 2005. In 2007, his column was syndicated by the Creators Syndicate and was featured in various newspapers such as the Detroit News, Denver Post, and Indianapolis Star. The same year, he joined CNN as a contributor, making appearances on various shows, which significantly added to his wealth. In 2008, he became the senior analyst for the “Tom Joyner Morning Show”.

Subsequently, Martin joined TV One in 2013, where he currently serves as a commentator and the host of a daily morning news show, “News One Now”, which focuses on politics, sports, culture, and entertainment, being the first program to present these aspects from an African-American perspective.

Throughout his career, Martin has been honored with numerous awards, including the President’s Award by the National Association of Black Journalists, and the NAACP Image Award for Best Interview. He has also been recognized by Ebony Magazine as one of the 150 Most Influential African Americans in the USA on three separate occasions.
