We’ve got a great team at the Netsetter keeping the practical information coming your way! Learn more about them here.
Collis Ta’eed, Founder
Collis, the CEO of Envato, started the Netsetter in early 2009 as a place for him to share his thoughts on Internet startups. Since then it’s grown into a site with its own editor and team of writers with heaps of practical information on making a living from the Internet. Collis likes to joke that when it comes to starting websites he has a slight attention deficit disorder.
“With the barriers to starting your own online business getting lower and lower, there’s a growing class of online entrepreneurs that I sometimes call the net set, kinda like that old term the jet set – which doesn’t make much sense any more now that I think about it. From that term came the name of this blog, because I hope that you dear reader are a fellow netsetter!”
