Yaro Starak
Yaro loves all things Internet. As a teenager he started his first website and sold it after finishing university. Shortly after he launched another web business and the pattern ensued. Thankfully Yaro's web businesses don't require too much maintenance so he can happily whittle away most days rambling on his blog, Entrepreneur's Journey, and record podcasts for his various web radio shows.
Yaro specialises in solo internet business and makes a full time income working a few hours a day from home. He currently provides training resources to teach soloists how to use online marketing to grow their business and educates individuals how to use the Internet to create financial freedom and establish a happy lifestyle.
