BENJAMIN COHEN

I was stuck at home in bed with me and got more and more involved with the Internet. I used it to keep in contact with friends and to make sure I was up to date with everything that was going on in the world.

Back then, I could be as obnoxious as I liked and people would still come back for more, they had to, I was Benjamin Cohen, the Dot Com sensation.

I decided that the only way there would be a future was to start to cut back.

Most of my time, energy and other resources I use to nurture my projects.

On the other hand, always aim to be the best in what you do and give 100%.

I still manage to spend around 40 hours a week at work but it is a lot more focused on what can make money as opposed to what makes me look good in the papers.

A world in which others controlled the course of their own development, would be a world in which the American system would be seriously endangered.

Initially, the site was favourably reviewed in a leading new media publication and the word spread.

The first profile piece on myself came about after my Rabbi sent information to the Jewish Chronicle on what I was up to. The story was then picked up by one of the nationals and things grew from there.
