In August 2006, that is 14 years ago, I started this blog. Writing online has been one of the best things I started in my life. In the early days, it led to founding my influencer marketing startup Trigami. These days, it’s a tool for clarifying my thinking and sharing ideas with the world. A…

The first 30 days of my newsletter
One month ago, I started my personal newsletter. I am blown away by what has happened in those first 30 days: I started with only 15 friends, and now there are 125 subscribers. If I imagine all of us in one single room, it would be a pretty packed room. I couldn’t be more excited….
Why I moved my blog to Medium
Update: In 2019 I’ve moved my blog back to self-hosting. I don’t want to depend on a third-party, and want to retain as much control as possible. Services like Medium are great for starting out. But you’re serious, I recommend self-hosting. In April 2007, I listened to a podcast with Twitter Co-Founder Evan Williams and…
Why email is so important
My biggest mistake in online publishing was that I never prioritized email as strongly as I should have.

My Learnings in 2007
The biggest impact on my professional life had David Allen with Getting Things Done. In the past 2 months, I implemented this concept both in my personal and my professional life and am very happy with it. My mailboxes are constantly down to zero (although my @Action folder still has around 10 mails left) and…
First Blogiversary!
I can’t believe it! It’s already been a year since I started blogging. The first six months in blogged in German, after meeting Robert Scoble and being at Lift07 I started blogging in English (which I didn’t regret for a second). Highlights of this first year: 17.8.2006: Famous ad for my blog in the very…
Already rank 7 on Google for ‘remo’ :-)
Remember: One of my goals with this new domain name [remo.fm] is to become No. 1 on Google.com for the search term “remo” within 12 months. I’m convinced this is possible :-). Three months later, I’m already ranked 7th and domains like remo.nl are behind me. But remo.com is still going to be tough :-). Wish me…
