Nice to meet you!
- Hi, I’m Rodolfo Melogli, an online entrepreneur
(Long story short: I’m a WooCommerce developer, an author, a speaker and an internet marketing expert. I own approximately 10 online businesses) If you want to know more about myself, I’m an Italian civil engineer who completely switched career after recession hit in 2011. I thought going solo, building websites for little money with no previous experience was going to be fun. Then, I stumbled upon WooCommerce while choosing ecommerce software for one of my first clients, and my business life changed drastically. I started sharing WooCommerce customization tips in public so that I could reuse them on other clients’ … Read moreView post to subscribe to site newsletter.

Here’s the list of posts I’ve recently shared here and on Twitter. I usually talk about WooCommerce dev stuff over at Business Bloomer, so I’ll concentrate on business development topics here…
- 2021 Year In Review: Parenting, Productizing, OutsourcingI’ve been away from my desk for more than 2 weeks, and it feels great. You don’t know you need some rest until the day you decide to rest and switch off. My 2021 was a roller-coaster. Amazing, tough, rewarding, sleepless, incredible. On a personal level, it’s been my best year ever. On a business … Read more
- I keep failingI’ll be short because I really need to sleep. It’s 2.17am and my wife and son fell asleep a few minutes ago. We’ve had a strong cold for the last week, and it’s been difficult to look after both, especially Lorenzo, as we really didn’t know what to do given it was his first time … Read more
- Testing, 1, 2, 3…It’s yet another Saturday, and this morning I’m speaking at WordCamp Italia for the second year in a row. I’m delighted my talk was selected and I hope the topic will interest many attendees. I will be streaming live from my own office home so I have to rely on two very unlikely events: that … Read more

- An Armada of AffiliatesOne of the most important items on my to-do list was to revamp Business Bloomer affiliate program (I mean, I never did anything with it really, so anything would have been awesome). Like every Friday since the beginning of September 2021, I spent the day working on my business. And same as last Friday, I … Read more
- Silence is goldenToday’s Friday and unlike every Friday since the beginning of September, I just got stuff done on my to-do list. I usually started the day with writing a post like this, and then do something with the little time I had left. Today I did the other way around. And it feels good that 4 … Read more
- Can’t do this aloneIt may sound like the name of a song. Or it could be some new mom / new dad rant (*facepalm*) when they don’t know why their newborn is crying… But no, it’s not that. Simply, I cannot do business development on my own. I need a partner – partners, actually. Also, I need someone … Read more
- My million dollar to-do and got-done listsIn a post a couple of weeks ago I wrote my first public to-do list, together with an update regarding what I got done. It’s now 2 weeks later, and it’s important to see if I made any progress, if I’m moving in the right direction, and what I should focus on next week. Writing … Read more

- From analytics to business growthIn a post a couple of weeks ago I said that data is everything. Without analytics it’s impossible to grow an online business and make the right choices. Besides, it’s not possible to assess if you’re on the right track after you took a certain path. In this post, I will show you my “day … Read more
- TGIF: Biz Dev FridaysThank God It’s Friday (if you come from Mars and were wondering what TGIF stands for): today it’s my first official “Business Development Friday” since I announced I’m working on making businessbloomer.com more acquirable. The picture you see above is a perfect fit (apart from the “dm” logo which I have no idea what it … Read more

- Why I’m not selling Business Bloomer (yet)In a tweet last week, I asked around if anyone was interested in my Business Bloomer exit strategy planning. One of the immediate reactions was, of course, “What, are you selling Business Bloomer? Why would you do that?“. Spoiler alert: I’ve no intention of doing that, just so you know. For now. So, if you … Read more
