We Talk About How To Successfully Lunch A New Digital Product or Course in 2019? More About Vito Peleg & WP Feedback Vito built his first website 19 years ago on GeoCities when he was 14 years old, it was scrappy and extremely bright colored. He made it for his skateboarding crew with his friends from school. He remembers how exciting it was to simply go online. Back then, whenever we connected to the internet it would take over the landline for the entire family, so I was only allowed to connect for just 1 hour per day. So I spent days fiddling with FrontPage, just waiting for my 1 hour to upload the code and share the updates with my MIRC friends (kinda like a Stone Age version of Facebook). That’s about the time I also picked up a guitar for the first time. I borrowed a cheap electric guitar from a friend to learn on my own and impress a girl I liked. But that first day was so inspiring I ended up sleeping with the guitar next to me in bed. It was love at first chord. https://wpfeedback.co/
