Swedish SEO-event

Sunday, April 13th, 2008

Yesterday I was attending the yearly SEO-event here in Sweden. The search engine optimization business is still quite small here compared to USA and other markets but it is growing every year. This year over 60 persons attended this full day event.

It started out with some free networking and this time I focused on getting to know other entrepreneurs and SEO professionals I had not talked to before. A lot of awesome new contacts and my pocket was full of business cards after just a few hours.

The next step was a series of speakers talking about subjects like perfomance based Internet marketing, domain name strategies and entrepreneurship. Every single one of them were very interesting even if most of it was not new for me.

After this the organizers had prepared a wine tasting and a following dinner. And after filling our stomachs with excellent food the sponsors served massive amounts of beer and wine, and you can guess where we went after that. A very nice and rewarding evening.

Getting set in my new office

Sunday, April 13th, 2008

Two months ago I signed a contract for a new office. Now we have been working here for 2 months and are really starting to get comfortable. And what a change in the focus of work. Now I work 10 hours per day effectively instead of 14 hours as before.

If you have a steady business I would really recommend to get an office outside of you own home. It will certainly help our business grow. Of course it is not a must, I have been working at and home office for 8 years before this. As an Internet entrepreneur you are more free to work from where ever you want. So I can still choose to work from home whenever I feel too do so.

It was a bit messy for a while.


My wonderful girlfriend that was 9 months pregnant at the time helped me clean and organize.


Finally done and I am happy.

It has been a while since you last time saw me blogging for the international crowd of blog readers. I have been focusing on my presence on the Swedish market and I have seen a phenomenal growth in my business over the past 4-5 months. This is good news because now I am more confident and ready than ever to travel on the road to freedom.

If you are a new reader I am the entrepreneur, blogger and writer that has been blogging on the blog “My journey to freedom” where I wrote about personal development.

This new blog will include everything about online business and entrepreneurship. I am now confident enought to call myself and Internet marketing and SEO expert and the main focus will be on these two wide subjects, except from all the covering of web startups and fellow entrepreneurs.
