Harry Fink and Kestral Marketing

Harry has been working on computers since 1976 when he first started programming in BASIC and Fortran on a miniframe computer using punch cards and paper tape to store programs. The computer industry has gone through an amazing evolution since then and Harry has been there every step of the way. He has worked at large military facilities and law firms managing information infrastructure and large computer corporations before striking out on his own.

By the mid 1980’s he was founder and SysOp of a BBS (Bulletin Board System) for computer pioneers and enthusiasts which he later moved to CompuServe and then finally to the Internet.

His first Internet business came in 1994 building internet service provider sites and network management. In 2000 he branched out and started selling products on eBay and domain registration and hosting services, the scope and focus has changed over the years.

In late 2006 he started focusing on Internet Marketing, teaching others how to bring their businesses on-line and how they can start marketing to a broader audience. In March of 2008, he officially changed the name of his business to Kestral Marketing LLC to complete the evolution.

Since 2006, Kestral Marketing has put its full weight and resources to bear on building at strong and responsive Internet Marketing Business.

If you have the need or desire to learn how to start and run a business on the Internet, then Kestral Marketing wants to be the team you chose to guide and help you get there. To be successful in starting and running a business on the Internet, finding customers and learning how to deliver products they want and need is paramount.

Included in the long list of Harry’s career experiences are software and database application development, data cipher/encryption and digital radio transmission expert, data modeling and normalization, project management, system management, networking, data and network security consultant, computer application and programming instructor.

His passions are family, friends, building businesses, technology, dog training, distance running, beach volleyball, stunt kites, and bird watching.

He is also an author and photographer, his works have been published in trade journals and military publications.

Sidenote: As a birder my favorites are raptors (birds of prey) specifically a falcon called the “American Kestrel.” When deciding on the business name I really wanted to use a Kestrel as a logo and name but finding the domain unavailable, I opted to use the less common spelling (or misspelling as the case may be) of Kestral. Hopefully my fellow Birders will take it easy on me for taking this liberty

My Mission and the reason for this blog is simple.

To show you and anyone that is willing to take action, how to work from home and make money online doing Internet marketing by sharing with you the information, tools and resources to help you build a thriving online business.

Note: You don’t have to work from home, but it does keep the cost overhead of running your Internet marketing business to a minimum, thus increasing your chances to make money online. When faced with long commutes, noisy office space, and 4 white walls versus a desk by the window overlooking your backyard filled with wildlife, trees and flowers… why not work from home?

Why should you learn from me?

My name is Harry Fink and I have always been an entrepreneur. I have been working on computers for over 30 years and for more than half of that time I have been running various businesses that make money online. Back in the mid 1980s, when Compuserve and Prodigy were popular, I was in the military. To make additional money for my family, I had a part time “work from home” business operating (SysOp) a Bulletin Board System (BBS). This BBS was created to give the pioneers of the growing online community a place to hang out and share their information and experiences.

This BBS is where I first started selling products to the community providing them with valuable information, software and hardware so they could build their own computers at great prices when compared to the big brand computers. Back then it was just a way to offset the costs of running the BBS and to make some money on the side. Little did I know, that what many of us were doing back then would evolve into the huge online industry that today we call Internet Marketing.

As time has progress I have moved to the Internet and to this day I continue to make money online running a “work from home” business. The BBS is long gone but I use the valuable information and experience I gained since then, to run my Internet Marketing business that is now called Rising Star Marketing.

My purpose back then, just as it is today, was to share my vast knowledge and experience of the Internet, marketing, and computers, to help others reach their goals. I get great satisfaction from helping others and watching them succeed.

So let me say “Welcome” to my blog and more importantly to the community of entrepreneurs that call the Internet their home.

All the best in your success,

P.S. Please don’t hesitate to let me know how I can help you.
