Who are we?

Mark Hagethorn

My name is Mark Hagethorn (and yes that ugly guy in the picture is me) and I am 20 years old. Living in the Netherlands as a blogger and a student, studying Company Economics. Truly, if you like to weed or cocaine, then Amsterdam is the way to go, trust me coffee shops everywhere (haha the prejudices). If you haven’t visited The Netherlands before, then be sure to check it out.

I have been blogger for some months now. I however, have only been blogging seriously for about some months now. I started blogging a while back and only did it basically for fun and wasn’t very committed to it.

Blogging has allowed me to really get my opinions across people and really connect. As I’m a open-minded (rational) guy I stand open to any kind of facts/opninions almost about anything, even religion.

I love it, it’s so much fun and it’s worth doing!

Hendrik Kleinwächter

My name is Hendrik Kleinwächter and I am currently a student (last year of school) working on the internet instead of working in the local supermarket. My biggest website is about my passion – computer games: D3scene.com.

That's me at home.

A strange way of getting started

Everything started two years ago in February 2006. I was playing way too much World of Warcraft and then decided to do something useful instead… I traded my account for a Guild Wars account (bad trade I know) to prevent me from playing WoW again. I started working on a forum about Diablo 3 – a computer game which was at that time not confirmed yet. I started from null (programmers know what that means) and kept reading and reading. That’s one of my best skills: I am patient and I can solve problems. The website started growing quickly and yielding some revenue.

Besides of new technical equipment I kept investing most of the money. I kept reading and knew from the first minute: the only way to seriously get users would be to stand in Google as place #1. After some months of working I accomplished that for my at that time top keyword. With more visitors every day I kept dedicating more time on adding new content and on improving the website.

I read a lot about Adsense and SEO which surely helped me a lot. With my new knowledge I made several other sites, which I however then dropped because of a lack of time. All in all I am considering myself an expert online-markter now and think that my knowledge might help you with your website.

Getting Personal

Me on vacation

As said before I am still a student. Unfortunately my teachers don’t understand that there is something else besides school, resulting in lots and lots of work. Luckily school is over for me in June 2009. After school our government requires you to either go to the military for a year, or to do something social. After my year of social work and a lot of free time university is going to start for me. Right now it looks like I will be going for Informatics or Economy. It is my dream to do web-managing as full time job, but first let’s see first how all my sites will perform in the future :-) – I’ll let you know here on duoblogger.

I am born on the 24th November 1989 in Hamburg, Germany. I consider myself a reasonable person meaning that I am always willing to change my mind whenever someone is able to provide me reasonable arguments. So, if I write something wrong, then please let me know and I will gladly fix it. All in all, I am an open-minded person.

In my free time I am usually either spending time on my computer (yes, my webwork got me there) or going to the gym. I started doing weight training 3 years ago shortly before I got together with my girlfriend. At that time I was weighing a little too much but then started working out and am now relatively well shaped. My girlfriend always complains that it is not possible to buy food with me because I am only picking the healthy stuff hehe.

I am not drinking anything and not really a party-person. I always get bored fast and feel like going back home to write something for my sites. Still, I love laughing although my humor might seem to be a little odd to some people. I got the “Borat humor”, watch that movie and you will understand what I can laugh about. The only kind of people I sort of dislike are either bitchy or moody. With the others I am getting along very well (perhaps that’s because of the internet). Not to forget: I am addicted to diet coke… :-)

What is DuoBlogger?

Duoblogger was born because two guys fused their blogs together into a whole new and improved one. Because fusing two blogs into one has so many benefits it will be hard to count with your fingers alone. Fresh ideas, increasing post counts per day, more opinions/voices and giving ourselves a small break or work on a long period project. You name it!

If you have any questions or suggestions or just simply want to talk to us about ANYTHING, then contact us and we will answer any questions or any suggestions you have.
