I help indie experts and small firms to be more visible, while appearing authoritative, authentic, trusted.

I’m a digital communication and marketing expert.
I help entrepreneurs and small businesses become the go-to reference in their online niche by teaching them how to increase their credibility, authority and trust. I do this not by teaching how to publish more content, but by showing how to be more transparent, by showing proofs and receipts of how you think and choose.
I take an unconventional approach, prioritizing depth, focus, attention to details and smart AI use.

What I Do

I have made my living entirely online since 2004, no employer, no clients to chase for payment, no agency behind me.
I have been the founder and publisher of MasterNewMedia.org, a revenue-making, multi-language (EN, IT, ES, PT) magazine for communication professionals from 2003 until 2014.
My work has been cited in over 100 books along the way, including Howard Rheingold's *Net Smart* and Jay Cross's *Informal Learning*.
Today, I am the author behind TRUST-able, a weekly newsletter for people building real authority and credibility online through curation rather than volume.

I was born in Rome, where I attended the Liceo Classico Marco Antonio Colonna; in my free time I worked as a DJ at private parties (at first) and later on private radio stations.
I dreamed of becoming a modern Jacques Cousteau (an oceanographer), but I graduated with top honors (BFA) in Experimental and Interdisciplinary Arts from San Francisco State University.
My first job in Italy was as an On-Air Promotion TV Producer for Canale 5, basically making trailers for prime-time TV shows and films. I grew skilled at the craft and went on to produce sung themes for Mediaset’s three channels, and the themes for Tribuna Politica together with Piero Gratton.
I then moved to RAI’s TG2 and produced additional themes and music videos. I opened a small graphic and communications studio and gradually took on ever more ambitious projects, up to overseeing the redesign of the entire corporate identity for the Alitalia group.
I left the image and advertising sector to work exclusively with non-profit organizations as an editorial consultant and trainer, creating publications, websites, and multilingual CD-ROMs on scientific and social topics, and leading workshops and seminars in developing countries.
In 2003 I left that field as well and devoted myself to writing and sharing what I learn daily about communication and the digital world.
Since 2004 I have earned my living solely from online activities: no more chasing clients for payment, consulting lawyers, or fighting banks. I radically changed how I work and now rely on the useful information and resources I share to encourage readers and interested people to support.
From 2015, I have abandoned city life, cars, cement and metal to live alone on beautiful islands around the world: Terceira (PT), Holbox (MX) and now Koh Samui (TH) have been my new homes.

"Hi Robin, here’s why I gave five stars. I’ve known you for some time through Facebook, and I had the pleasure of meeting you in person in Perugia at the #Formamico 2017 event.
You were the first to greet me in the hotel corridor, and I was struck by your gaze — a look that speaks of passion, love, and freedom.
Those three hours were truly compelling. In that short time you taught me that if I don’t start from that gaze, nothing has value.
You said, “Each of us can give something.” You put yourself in our shoes, wearing that coat each of us carries with great awareness.
Thank you again, Robin - I met a teacher, first and foremost of life, and I was amazed and deeply impressed by your professionalism. I hope to follow you and to meet you again."

"I gave Robin five stars simply because I’m following all his advice, and thanks to it I’ve begun rethinking my online web gallery, Fumogallery.
After an initially flawed version, I’m now using many of the tools he recommended to rebuild the site from scratch.
Had I known him earlier (along with Marco Ronco, whose invaluable advice is helping me on the marketing side), this probably wouldn’t have happened.
So — new website in about a month!
Thank you so much, Robin. You should be taught in schools, not only for your expertise but also for the humanity with which you do things.
P.S. I just bought the book."

"Robin is a beacon in the night for me.
He has absolute expertise in online marketing, with an approach grounded in listening, sharing, and building truly valuable relationships.
I’ve been following him for two years and I’m already seeing results I never imagined I could achieve in such a short time.
Thank you, Robin Good — you’re amazing."

Acting Coach

"I just finished reading Robin’s book, recommended to me by a friend. Then I met him in person - I was stunned and delighted to have met him because his manner is contagious, inspiring, fun, and crystal clear.
What really strikes me is the expertise he freely shares for everyone’s benefit.
His three A’s, authoritative, reliable, and authentic, are an increasingly rare beacon in this online world full of fluff!
Thank you, Robin, for what you bring to all of us. And to anyone who, like me, has just found this page: don’t miss the chance to read his book and, if you can, meet him in person.
A go-to reference for anyone who wants to establish themselves online or who already is and wants to improve."

"I met you through Rudy Bandiera and Skande (Riccardo Scandellari), great friends of mine whom I also worked with a few years ago.
Of all the people they mentioned as professionals in the online space, you earned my trust day by day.
Your tangible confidence was exactly what I was looking for, and your transparency during our call whispered to me, “it’s about time — Robin is the right one."."

Marketing Consultant

"I had the pleasure of working with Robin as my consultant for almost a year.
It was a rewarding, educational, and highly useful collaboration that helped me make a real step forward.
Thanks to his guidance, my company's social page adopted new and more effective ways of communicating, clearly more impactful than our previous approach.
Robin is charismatic, consistent with his message, and very knowledgeable.
In every call he gives 110%, he never holds back and always tells it like it is, directly and without beating around the bush.
That candor pushed me to do better. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to make a meaningful change in how they present their business online."

"Professionalism and a big heart!!!
First of all, he’s definitely the only one in the field who answers questions without acting like a big shot...
I attended one of his live courses in Bologna: clear, practical, with examples you can put into practice right away.
A giant.
Thank you, Robin💓!"

"I first came across Robin Good online, as many others probably did, on Facebook, recommended by a friend.
Then his book "Da Brand A Friend" came out, illuminating in many ways.
My company definitely benefited from it.
I later had the chance to meet Robin in person during one of his sessions in Turin... truly outstanding.
Approachable, precise, and thorough.
Top of the line!"
