About Hamlet Batista
Hamlet Batista, a happily married father of two, founded his own company, Nemedia S.A. in 2002. The company recently launched a unique and ground-breaking search engine optimization software program that was in development for some time.
Hamlet’s story begins to the south: he was born and currently resides on the beautiful tropical island of the Dominican Republic. He completed his education in Telecommunications Engineering in 1996 and has experienced many facets of the industry. Over time he moved from work as a Windows C++ Developer at a software outsourcing firm, to a Unix/Linux System Administrator position at a major international telecom, and finally to being IT Director of a small team of highly talented individuals at an online marketing firm. With no prior entrepreneurial experience and having no formal business training, he resigned from his job, and set out to start his own business.
As it happened, he was fortunate enough to run into one of the top online marketers who was still working for his previous employer. He wouldn’t say much, but what he did mention — pay-per-click, Viagra, and the almighty dollar — was enough to get Hamlet started.
Affiliate marketing was a concept he already knew well, at least from a programming standpoint. Hamlet had worked to create affiliate tracking software using Java for a former employer, but he was not familiar with the idea from a business perspective. After reading Ken Envoy’s “Affiliate Master Course,” he had the information he needed to set the wheels in motion.
The plan was to start a software company. With Nemedia S.A., today Hamlet Batista has achieved just that: a 20+ person search engine marketing firm, as well as a few other businesses with interested partners. The company is focused on growth and will work toward taking on additional customers in the near future.
Having taken some heavy hits early on and learned from his mistakes, Hamlet realized that it was just about time to start sharing. His aim is to help other young entrepreneurs build their dreams without having to make huge financial sacrifices or turn to angel investors. This blog is his latest effort to do that and give something back to the community that has been so good to him.

Love it — I appreciate the unabashed profession of faith (and a life of faith too, huh? :)). I’m looking forward to what comes next.

Hi Hamelet,
I actually read your about page to see where you were from, I dont know why but I knew you were not from a western country…. its is strange that I knew that … maybe it is the fact you have your office on a beach
I loved the line:
“He mentioned pay per click, Viagra, and the almighty dollar”
Its interesting to read a blog written by someone with real experience and knowledge on these matters….

Jez,
Thanks for your comment
Please note that we are right next to Puerto Rico — a two hour flight from Miami, FL. I guess that makes us western.

Hi Hamlet,
Sorry, the term “western” always confuses me a bit, I could not think of anything more appropriate…. shall we say I guessed you were from somewhere special

Hamlet… You’re incredible (and for that matter, so is the stuff you write)! I’ve learned so much from reading yourself (trust me - I’ve not said that in a good few months)… Somebody needs to give you a medal or something. A badge. A sticker. Something. You ROCK!
Newfound lovin’ it livin’ it reader,
