We live in an age where the Internet has officially revolutionized the way we do business.

Any entrepreneur with a dream can start a company in a matter of hours, as opposed to weeks, months or even years of planning. Of course, you already know this.

Unfortunately, “online business” has become synonymous with shady work-at-home scams, half-assed products, annoying 20-page salesletters, pushy sales tactics and empty product launch hype.

We wish to change all of that. Startup Launchr is a site for online entrepreneurs who follow the principle of providing REAL value for customers instead of chasing after the quick buck.

Whether you’re stuck in a 9-5 desk job dreaming about starting your own online business, just launched your first company, or been an entrepreneur for years, Startup Launchr is all about…

  • Inspiring the aspiring entrepreneur to start his or her own business on the Internet
  • Fully harnessing the power of the web for your company
  • Growing your offline business by bringing it online
  • Combining current trends with classic business principles and presenting it in a simple, easy-to-understand manner
  • Marketing strategies to spread the word about your business, and help you sell more products
  • Entrepreneurship as passionate expertise as opposed to reckless gambling

And much, much more!

Startup Launchr is more than your average business blog. It’s a community to mingle with other like-minded business inviduals. It’s a virtual seminar to stimulate your thoughts and inspire your inner entrepreneur to take action. It’s the coach that guides you to success but kicks you in the ass when you’re lagging behind.

What are Classrooms™?

Let’s face it; most of us just don’t have the time to catch up with all the content that our favorite blogs publish everyday.

Startup Launchr introduces Classrooms™ so you can focus on launching your business instead of just reading about how to do it. Classroom sessions are interactive modules to support the post content, and are included in the “meaty” Startup Launchr posts.

The goal is to bring a more engaging and interactive experience to blog-reading. You’ll be able to get to the meat of the article without having to read a thousand words or more—not to mention, being able to click around is a lot more fun and engaging than simply scrolling up or down.

So come… Take your dream of starting your own business, and make it happen online. Subscribe to Startup Launchr today!

Who is Carlo?

That’s me, the founder of this website.

I started this site in July 2008 as one of my business ventures. I’m an web traffic coordinator for a well-known online company during 9-5, and a freelancer, copywriter, blogger, entrepreneur, boyfriend, musician, and a whole lot more during 5-9 (or 10, or 11, or 12…). During my 4-year university tenure in business management, I’ve been active in online business and marketing in hopes of using it to grow our music business by gaining more listeners and eventually selling more albums.

I’ve been all over the world and lived in 3 different countries, although now I reside in Vancouver, Canada. I write on this topic simply because business and marketing is a passion of mine. I also get a kick out of providing people with great information. I’m a huge NBA fan, and watch a lot of football (the soccer-in-America-and-football-everywhere-else-in-the-world version).

Startup Launchr is ran alongside my other blog Pocketpreneur for a power-packed one-two punch combo for entrepreneurs. Need business ideas to help jog your mind? Pocketpreneur has them. Need help launching that business idea of yours? Startup Launchr got your back.
