Secret to Success - Robert Himler
Why are you so attracted to the online business model?
The online business model has many perks. With such little overhead other than essentially your server and computing equipment you can be in business. What really intrigues me is unlike a traditional business there is so many options for revenue streams, such as advertising, affiliate marketing, a subscription service, general sales, and the list goes on. Another big benefit is other than your time you put into something, there is no real “risk†as opposed to the traditional business model which takes a lot more monetarily to get started. Lastly, you can work from anywhere in the world with an internet connection at your own hours.
Most websites fail, how do you know if your ideas will be successful?
The idea for every one of my websites has came from spotting a need. To gauge interest in the need I’ll usually ask friends and family first for their thoughts. If they think it is as needed as I do, it’s then time to execute it and get it out into the real world…only they can really decide.
How many websites do you currently maintain? How many previously have failed in your eyes?
I currently have eight websites running under my belt. I would say a good 75% of my ideas are “failuresâ€, but a failure in the web world, at least to me, is defined as simply not getting the traffic there. You could release the greatest app in the world, but if nobody sees it… is that really a failure? The toughest part with any new startup or website is getting it out there to everyone. Once you’ve hit the traffic on a few of your other sites then of course you can filter users through there.
Are there any individuals that you look up to?
There is many people I look up to in the online business world. To name a few; Sean Belnick (founder of BizChair.com), Matt Mullenweg (founder of WordPress), the guys from 37Signals (David Heinemeier Hansson and Jason Fried), MJ DeMarco (founder of limos.com), and social network tycoon Mark Zuckerberg.
