Hey. We finally got a portfolio page up. Seems like it has taken a while, but now it is posted. You can see our portfolio here.
Barry and I sat down today and decided our goals for the rest of the fiscal year. we are going to focus on our 20 page keyword focused content based sites. There are 20-page site that we create from the ground up using 500-1000 search terms. The ones we have done so far have been fantastic. Our clients love them.
Check out our portfolio here and see what we have been doing.
Have a great day!

Frank Kern's Mass Control Rocks!
Just got back from Frank Kerns mass Control Event that was helld at the hard Rock Hotel April 19th and 20th. It was fantastic. I learned so much that will take our business to the next level. The amount of brain power (even after all the alcohol) and money and marketing chops on stage was mind boggling.
I was running around with my little disposable camera (my digital one was recently stolen), shooting one-handed pictures with all the speakers. I will post them as soon as I "get them back." (Remember one-hour photo? That used to be fast!)
Anyway, it was a wild ride! Met great people from all over US and the world; a nice couple from the UK, an Aussie living in Japan, a guy from Arizona who spends most of his time adventuring in Latin America. Great crowd.
It gave Barry (business partner) and I the kick in the pants to get our act together. During the next several months, we won't be soliciting business, but will be putting our collective knowledge together into an "Internet Marketing for Small Business" home study course.
Small business owners have small budgets, but every small business really needs to be online. There should be no question about that. this home study course will address that for small business owners that want to do it themselves to save money.
So, we are putting together a step-by-step "This is how you market your small business on the internet" with videos and everything. We should have it ready in the next couple of months. If you want to hear about it as we are working on it, visit our website and join one of the lists there. We don't have a specific list set up yet.
This is really hush hush because we don't want everyone clamoring for the product before it is done. We want to be able to take our time and do it right.
Ciao, and I will have those pictures up in a day or two. ;-)

Seminar went great!
We had our very first internet marketing seminar last Thursday evening. It was good. We had 18 new people there and I gave them my 2 hour seminar in an hour and a half. I find I talk way too fast, but I have so much to say and people need to hear it. the event was catered and the food was good.
We video taped the event and only got about half of the video releases so we might have to blur people's faces out. I don't know about the legalities of that. I guess I should check.
I plan to make the video available online. You will need to check back. Wait, the best way to do this would be to get on our Event VIP list. that way we will tell you when we are going to release it. Just go to our event page and sign up. We will let you know when the video gets posted.

FREE Internet Marketing Seminar
On April 3, 2008, we are presenting a free internet marketing seminar. It is our first.
I figure if we show enough people that we know what we are talking about, and give great content, even if we tell them everything they need to know about blogging and using squidoo and building links, maybe they will realize how much work it is and hire the professionals (us).
If you are reading this and live in Southern California, you are welcome to attend, I just need you to RSVP to Barry at (951) 212-4080. Scarcity, scarcity - but really, there are only 58 seats. Grab one now!
You can find out more information and join our VIP list here:

CHARO 2008 Business EXPO
Yesterday Barry and I were at the CHARO 2008 Business EXPO. Barry was on a marketing panel and that gave us a lot of exposure. People kept dropping by our booth all day and we actually got several leads. All in all, it was a very good day and I got out of the house and out from behind my computer. Rock on!

AngryJournalist.com - Know your market
There is a new site, recently launched called AngryJournalist.com.
It is a place a guy named Kiyoshi Martinez set up for Journalists to vent their anger and frustration anonymously and to the whole world. I worked in editorial graphics at a newspaper for 7 years. I know what these guys are talking about.
My personal angst has faded, but talk about a great way to get into the minds of the people you are sending your press releases to, hoping to get published. They are people just like us. We should treat them that way. Be reasonable. Do most of the work for them. Make your story a no-brainer to print. Make it exciting and newsworthy. We hear these things all the time, but angryjournalist.com really brings the point home.
What are we supposed to do? Know our market? They are our market when we are trying to get information about our company published. Let's understand them, step in their shoes and speak to them like they should be spoken to. They are the keepers of the gate. How are you going to get in?
