Hi from Switzerland to everyone!

Hi guys,

just wanted to introduce myself shortly here.

I'm Robert, currently living in Switzerland, and I've been doing "Online Marketing" for close to 10 years now.

However: Most of my businesses have been centered "offline", and online measures were only used to help them grow.

I had some great successes, and I had some awfully costly failures. Build some 7-figure business in a year and went bancrupt with it - because we've been greedy and growing too fast.

Throughout the last 2-3 years of "offline" business, I've always been dreaming about doing something purely "online". Reason is: if you have an offline business crowing, its a f...ing pain in the ass. You got your inventory (in our case, a "best before" inventory which is even worse), you got the pain of product checks, so once you've grown to a certain size it's no fun anymore.... at least to me.

There are guys who like to administer things, but I'm the type that gets bored once something is done. I need to move on the the next thing. I need to build up, to get through the problems, solve them and then I can leave it happily, even if there's more money in it strange, but maybe one or the other of you knows what I'm talking about.

Anyway:
I've made a decision to focus most of my energy to "online" projects from now on. I now a lot about online marketing - but "pure" online marketing is a totally different world that I'm eager to learn about.

I'm lucky to have the funds to have a nice head start regarding tools, ad funding and stuff.... but still, I consider myself a newbie.

Now, start flaming ;-)

Best regards and please, keep any spelling and grammar errors as a gift ;-)

Hi guys,

indeed it's a nice country. Moved here from Germany, which is on a bad downward spiral from my point of view - if you're an entrepreneur, you'll get pretty much punished for it.

I'm pretty sure I'll learn very fast - we've been using Twitter, Facebook, Emailmarketing etc. for a long time, just not for purely "digital" stuff. I know the value of targeted lists - in one of my "online" businesses, I have a targeted list of 150'000 people that we advertise to - and another one which onlys has around 17000 members (all buyers of our products), but boy if you mail them - they'll buy.

My biggest challenge at this point is that I'm honestly afraid of offering something of no "physical" value - it's stupid, but this really is a barrier for me.

But I'll get over it soon .

Looking forward to learn a lot from you guys! Glad to be here!

<shameless self-promotion on> Oh well, and some thanks would be highly appreciated to build up my reputation here <shameless self-promotion off>

There you go buddy, I just gave you a first 'Thanks'. Why don't you be a good lad and thank me back? )

The first thing that come up in my head when I heard 'Switzerland' is a beautiful, green, mountainous country, lots of rich bastards, expensive standard of living, and Heidi, and the Sound of Music, and also Roger Federer.

...OK, Martina Hingis too (hey, she's hot - at least for me)

So, good to have you around, and don't forget to enjoy the ride.

Hey,
good to have you here!

Hope you earn alot money and knowledge as this forum is full of knowledge!

Happy new year to you!
