goLance: Bernard, let’s begin by asking you, how did you come up with the idea to launch your digital agency? Can you tell us something about your company’s early beginnings and business history?

Bernard: We fell into it by accident. We really created a software development company. But we initially funded the business with affiliate revenue from roughly 10 online magazines which made revenue through AdSense and affiliate links.

In a few months, people were reaching out to the webmaster e-mails of those magazines asking for services.

goLance: What kind of services does your company provide, and what types of industries do you cover with your services?

Bernard: We do SEO, Google Ads, Social Media and Web Design. Most of our clients are e-commerce, real estate, banking and retail.

goLance: How can goLance clients and freelancers benefit from your services?

Bernard: It allows us to outsource the work that isn’t a core function of the business so we can focus on what we’re uniquely good at.

goLance: How do you successfully manage your remote team? Where and how do you find and hire new remote workers for your company?

Bernard: We use “boss-ware” for every new hire. They graduate from it in 6 months at which time they will have adapted the culture of communication and transparency in the business.

goLance: What are the things that set your company apart from similar service providers? What are your competitive advantages and core values?
