Who is Steve Barbarich: Entrepreneur, Inventor, and Philanthropist

Steve Barbarich is a businessman and an inventor who managed to come up with solutions that changed the way people approach their career or their startup. He started as an inventor who managed to sell products designed by him.

But one of the things that he noticed is that a lot of starting inventors himself was struggling to understand the legalities. A lot of them shortchange their inventions and sell their ideas to companies without knowing the possibilities of maximizing their work financially. Because of this, he started a book that taught inventors on how they can make money from patents. The book, The Complete Manual on How to Make Money from Your Inventions and Patents, experienced success and became an instant bestseller.

Starting his e-commerce business

Though he was already successful as an inventor and author, he never stopped and settled on these accomplishments. He believed that you are simply as good as your last performance. With the availability of fast internet connection and the popularity of e-commerce, one of the things that he noticed is that a lot of businesses lacked in superb customer service. Many are still struggling to please their customers because they don’t know how to meet the expectations of their customers. He experienced this first hand when he decided to buy some items online only to experience what other customers experienced.



He started his own company and started offering items such as stoves and fireplaces. These are luxury items that became a success in the next year or so. But unlike other vendors, Steve Barbarich prioritized his customers and offered support that they need. He also focused on aftersales support to ensure that the customers are happy even when they encountered some issues that need to be addressed.

Vacation Rentals

Steve Barbarich traveled a lot. During one of his business trips, he was able to experience staying in a vacation rental. He also noticed that it is cheaper than your typical hotel. And with this, he decided to get more involved in this growing niche.

With the booming travel industry, he was able to come up with solutions that changed the entire travel experience of many people. He started to invest on different short term travel rentals that helped travelers to save a lot of money.

He made it possible to help hosts to maximize their properties. Offering a helping hand to struggling hosts, he was able to flip their business and make it profitable for them. He came up with ways on how to connect the hosts and guests and create a good experience for both parties.

The Philanthropist

He also involved himself in different causes that can help alleviate poverty and suffering within his community. He was involved in helping individuals who were affected by Hurricane Rita in 2005. Barbarich was active in providing funds for the Gulf Coast Funds and Red Cross. In 2009, he supported women who needed to have a mammogram during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. With his help, a good number of women were able to receive their checkups for early detection.
