dear all, as for a brief introduction [GPT-TL;DR below] i am thorsten and live in the northern part of germany with my family. i work in and with software for 35+ years - it all started in the mid 80s with an Atari 1040ST+ (anyone remember? 😁) during school time. i taught myself to code on the Atari, then went on to study computer science after school in the early 90s and had started my first two businesses (both failed). during that time, i realized, that i'll never become as good in dev as i'd like (need) to be to make a living off of that. so, during a few years in business consulting end of the 90s, i kept my dream of running my own business dear to my heart, shifted towards software project and product management in the telco industry and made that "my thing": consequently, i worked at deutsche telekom / t-mobile until mid 2011 in different (product) management roles. and then, in 2011, i finally leaped to found my third company which is my current core business: we serve mobile operators in DE and AT with bespoke software development, outsourcing services, websites and a bit of online marketing. and that "online marketing thing" got me hooked 🪝 and i put in some good amount of time to find my way into that - after all, even the best product doesn't sell itself, but must be marketed. so, when i was thinking about ways forward to grow as an entrepreneur and with my existing business, i came across website flipping a few years ago (matt and liz raad). since then, i bought two sites - one in the news aggregation niche which didn't work out for legal reasons. the second one is https://showeringcenter.com which i want(ed) to bring forward with an SEO and content marketing "learing by doing" approach. after some further thoughts and a tough "turn-around" phase last year with my existing business, i concluded that my way forward is to buy, renovate, market and possibly sell (micro-)SaaS solutions as that feels like my team's and my own "circle of competence". and it will simply be fun for us including the fact that i can (must) learn online marketing for that as well.
