Jan Demsar

Jan started working remotely when he was 16 years old when despite the lack of experience he got an opportunity to rebuild website for Slovenian Shareholders Association.

He was working for them part-time for over 7 years and meanwhile he was looking for other remote working opportunities because he fell in love with time and location freedom. Soon he realized that he can get paid more while spending the same amount of time doing the same services by finding clients in more developed countries such as USA and Australia therefore he started providing freelancing and consulting services to businesses and digital marketing agencies in those countries.

With the experience gathered from working remotely, Jan was also able to start selling his own brand of Touchscreen gloves and couple other digital marketing related businesses.

Currently he is most focused on helping clients all over the world leverage digital marketing tools and strategies in order to get more sales and customers. Jan’s goal during the camp is to share different strategies he is using, in order to get 'perfect clients', that are willing to pay more and are enjoyable to work with.
