Once upon a time, Roberto Hoyos was selling products for Apple. Today, he’s selling his own product and his own ideas. Here’s how he did it (in 5 minutes).
In 2006, while working at the Apple store, Roberto Hoyos stumbled into his passion — viral marketer/entrepreneur. His business idea started out as a simple web post with pictures of his latest geeky creation — handmade fleece pillows resembling the Mac OS X icons. The post soon went viral and crashed his website in a matter of hours. Roberto spent a year perfecting the product and eventually, after some social media elbow grease, morphed this arts and crafts project into the worldwide brand now known as Throwboy.
Today Roberto, 28, runs Throwboy out of his Seattle apartment with help from a small staff of family and close friends. You can find Roberto on Twitter @robertohoyos, @throwboy
