How One Entrepreneur Changed His Life with Soap Operas
Ramon Van Meer completely changed his life around 2.5 years ago. At the time he was an immigrant, and a single father who was just getting by with his travel agency. Ramon decided to look further into Facebook analytics and see just what made certain fan pages popular.
From there, Ramon launched a fan page for soap operas. Having never watched a soap opera himself, Ramon relied on other content and context clues to build content and a following. Now, Soap Hub makes about $2.5 million in revenue a year.
The entrepreneur stops by Cheddar to explain how he changed his life and built his business. Ramon gives advice for budding entrepreneurs and innovators. And he also gives his take on the future of the digital publishing space.
