Outsourcing in the Philippines
This article is an old post that I just rediscovered.
When other people hear that I work together with great experts in the Philippines, they often ask “How did you connect to those people?” The truth is that I followed a formal teaching program to learn this all the way through. I signed up for $99 per month and I did learn how to outsource to the Philippines. Sounds great, doesn’t it?

How to Make Perfect Links
Links are so important because they give meaning to all the content on the Internet. The Internet is an enormous space of content. The content would be useless if we do not have a good way of structuring it and showing the relationship between different pieces of content. This is where links come in.

How to find advertisers for your website or your blog

Why I l Love WordPress
Every time I work with WordPress, I am very happy. I feel very grateful to be a user of this piece of technology. There are several reasons why I have chosen some time ago to work solely with WordPress CMS for small and medium sized projects.
People who have Inspired Me: Matt Mullenweg
Matt Mullenweg is the creator of WordPress, but he is so much more. He’s a little bit younger than me but he’s been voted as one of the most influential people in IT. He has also been voted as one of the top 25 most influential people on the Internet. He is just a normal guy but he has an authentic belief in community, that together we can be so much more than when we’re alone. Through the different software he has developed, he has inspired me because he started something new.

Thank you WordCamp, thank you Kilkenny, thank you Ireland!
I had a great time at the WordCamp in Kilkenny, Ireland. Actually it was my first time in Ireland ever. Thank you for making my stay so pleasant!
WordCamp Ireland – Kilkenny
Some visual expressions of my journey to Wordcamp Ireland in Kilkenny. It was fun looking at Kilkenny at night and seeing all those enthousiastic WordPress people. Fun level: B
The biggest multipliers in my network
I am into networking and I know quite a lot of people. However, not every relationship is based on mutual respect, trust and success. There are just some people that blink out and that have opened doors for me that I never thought would be possible. Here are my top four network nodes that opened the most number of possibilities to me at this point in time.
Henrik Hessel
I’ve known Henrik since school times. We’ve always been good friends and we have similar interests, even though our personalities are quite different. We work together as a team very efficiently, and it’s fun to work together with Henrik. Together we found the company, “Bit Dynamics” a few months ago, including Jan Peters and Ulf Stöhrer. The four of us formed a great team, and Henrik has played a major role in bringing us together. He kept us focused on what we want to achieve. I always thought that acquisition would be a problem, but that is not the case because we are four people, and each of us brings in new leads. It feels like the work is never ending. It just pours in, and we don’t have to do anything to have enough work. That’s pretty amazing, and I’m very thankful to Henrik for co-initiating Bit Dynamics.
Simone Levie and Matthijs Douwes from Social Medium
I met Simone Levie and Matthijs when we were all starting out our own businesses, and it’s been an unbelievable ride. Both companies have grown so much faster than we’d ever imagine, and that is due to a very, very fruitful collaboration. Our personal and business relationship is very special, and I’m happy to know them. Much of what I do today is attributed to them and vice versa. We owe each other who each on of us is individually.
Jules Martin
I got introduced to Jules through Simone. He is actually a second tier multiplier, but a very, very forceful one. Jules introduced me to the Durftevragen network, which is a group of Dutch Freelancers. Conducting the first WordPress workshop at the New Year’s meeting of networkers actually gave my business the boost it really needed. It has been awesome since then. I gained immediate expert status as a WordPress professional in those circles, and I am very happy that I have been able to deliver. I am very thankful for all the projects Jules has given to me, and I was able to support him in doing so.
Professor Jan Jonker
Professor Jan Jonker is a very new contact and so I am not sure yet what is going to happen. However, I do know that this is definitely another entry point to an enormously big international network. He is a very special person. He’s one of the leading figures in the topic of sustainable business development. He has written numerous books and more than a hundred articles in the topic. I’m very thankful that I could take part in his business development course, and that he has asked me to support him in various tasks related to his project.
Do you want to be my network multiplier force too? Join me on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter, and tell all the people about what I’m doing. If you like, your network does as well. If you connect me to other people and I can be of service, they will remember who connected them. Everyone’s happy in the end. That’s what the new business is all about, isn’t it – making each other happy. So let’s do it!
