Career

The Start

I uploaded my very first YouTube video in 2011 and my first attempt in business was running Facebook ads to sell health supplements in 2014. That's how I made my first money online and it gave me the desire to pursue a career as an online entrepreneur.

Marketinghope

Marketinghope was a German SEO agency that I launched in 2017 with my business partners Richard and Roman. We built a team of 5 people and we also had a German YouTube channel and podcast about marketing & SEO topics. At the same time, Richard, Roman and me were running a few affiliate website projects that we successfully sold a few years later.

Rico Go

In 2019, while living in Bali, I started my YouTube channel "Rico Go" and I challenged myself to stick with it until it’s successful. I wanted to document my life and business under a personal brand and I started with simple VLOG’s. Then my content evolved into videos about Cyprus, taxes and more.

Tax.one

The YouTube videos about Cyprus and relocating to low tax jurisdictions gained a lot of traction on my YouTube channel and so I turned this into a business by launching Tax.One in 2022. Tax.One helps individuals and businesses relocate to low tax jurisdictions and pay as little tax as legally possible.

Petpreneur

While enjoying life in Cyprus, I randomly rescued a kitten and called her Ruby. I documented her growing up on my social media accounts and over the next few months we gained over 1.500.000 followers. However, shortly after that I lost Ruby tragically. This was the starting point of combining my passion for pets & entrepreneurship into Petpreneur.

private life

left germany at 19 years old

As a kid, I always daydreamed about moving elsewhere and starting a new life. And so after I finished high school, I did exactly that. At 19 years old I left my home country Germany and moved to Bali & Switzerland and then I settled in Cyprus.

Running a marathon

Sports always played a big role in my life since I was 14 years old. And running a marathon was always on my bucket list. On 11 November 2024, I run the authentic Marathon in Athens, Greece with my personal trainer Pambos in 3:33 hours.

Cat dad

I rescued Ruby the baby cat from the streets in Cyprus and she became one of the most famous cats in the world in record time.

You get what you give

I regularly give back to my community because I’m grateful for every single follower. I also collaborated with YouTuber & European Parliament member Fidias Panayiotou to give away a car in Cyprus.

helped thousands of people

Over the last 5 years, I actively helped 500+ people relocate to Cyprus, incorporate companies and start a new life. Thousands more relocated to Cyprus and millions of people watched my videos.
