Creating Clarity in the Digital Space

We are a digital publishing house specializing in the creation and operation of high-quality informational portals and niche websites.

Our Story: From Agency to Publishing House

qmedia GmbH was founded with a vision to create high-quality digital content. After a successful initial phase as a marketing agency, we strategically refocused our business. For over a decade, we have moved away from client work to concentrate exclusively on developing and operating our own specialized online portals.

This shift allows us to invest our full expertise into projects that provide real value to users. Today, our portals such as how-to-germany.com, gruendung.de, and onlinevergleich24.de are leading sources of information in their respective niches, helping hundreds of thousands of people make better decisions every month.

Our Team

Our success is built on a core team of experienced entrepreneurs, analysts, and editors who share a common passion for digital excellence. The management of qmedia GmbH is led by its founder, Erkan Boga.

How We Make Money

qmedia GmbH is an independent, owner-operated company. We finance the operation and growth of our business through the revenue generated by our online portals.

Our portals utilize a partnership-based business model (affiliate marketing) and, in some cases, traditional advertising. When a user signs a contract or purchases a product through one of our portals, we may receive a commission from the respective provider.

This revenue allows us to invest in high-quality editorial content, technological innovation, and the expansion of our team, enabling us to continue providing our users with free, first-class information. The editorial independence of our portals always remains unaffected.

Our Commitment to Quality and Integrity

At qmedia GmbH, editorial quality and ethical integrity are the cornerstones of our success. We believe the trust of our users is our most valuable asset. To make this commitment transparent and to define our standards, we have formalized our core principles in two key documents:

Our Editorial Guidelines: Here, we define the mandatory standards for accuracy, independence, and fact-checking that apply across all our portals. Editorial Guidelines
Our Code of Ethics: This document outlines the ethical principles guiding our corporate conduct, from data security to editorial transparency. Code of Ethics
