Services
I simply provide the stuff to help you grow your business —now.
Seriously. It’s not just a tag line. I firmly believe there are tremendous opportunities out there for today’s entrepreneur, professional and small business or organization. We just have to recognize the changes that have occurred in business because of “global communications” — all those cell phones and the Internet.
What I do is give you the 21st Century marketing tools, in plain, simple English to make your success happen in this New Economy.
Afraid to Flickr? Wondering about Wordpress? Your web developer is droning about Drupal and CMS and you need a translator? Need to know how to rev up revenue with pay per click and search engine marketing? Know the business model has changed but not certain how and how it affects you? Suspect you’re wasting valuable budget on less effective marketing and want to find better solutions?
If you need the answer to an online marketing question, geek translated or some step-by-step instructions in plain English, try my one-on-one consulting, a training class or one of my products.
Consulting, Coaching and Training
This is totally personal. Wondering what the heck is the difference between an ISP, domain name registrar, web hosting service, web designer, web developer and the rest of the web credits list, let’s talk. Have questions about reaching your goal in today’s marketing? Need Wordpress to do something, but don’t know how? Want to have your staff learn how? Suspect your web service is yanking your chain? Or have questions about any other stuff to grow your business in the 21st century? Let’s talk.
I can review your website, your marketing plan or your analytics, help you figure out what’s next, explain why you’re getting — or not getting — the results you expected or whatever. And all in clear, simple English.
Maybe you, or your support staff, just need some training on using Wordpress or Google Analytics or Google Website Optimizer or one of the other gazillion cool tools and services Google offers businesses and organizations. I can help.
Afterwards, you can do it on your own, saving you money and giving you a foundation of knowledge on which to build your business. Word of warning, though. I don’t guarantee that I’ll be telling you what you want to hear. I’m not as brutal as House, but I’ll be totally honest.
Presentations & Workshops
Need a presentation or workshop for your business, organization or conference? I give good show. (Hey, I did stand-up comedy for 3 years — like everyone else in the 90’s.) Seriously. My presentations were once described as a mash-up of Ellen Degeneres and Presentation Zen. I can customize to fit your time and topic needs, too.
Some of the most popular ones I give are:
- 10 Impacts of the New Economy on Small Business
- The Stuff Increase Revenues Now
- Essential SEO
- Essential Web Marketing
- Wordpress, Theme or Plugin Installation and Set-Up
Want Help Installing and Setting-up Wordpress or Your Wordpress Theme?
I can help you. As a matter of fact, if you purchase your hosting service or commercial theme through the Recommended Sponsor affiliate links in my right-hand sidebar of there, you’re eligible for a US$50 discount on service.
Why Don’t You Offer Hosting and Design Services?
While there are many things I do well, web server security is not one of them. Every aspect of the web is a constantly moving target of changing technology and my interests aren’t in monitoring server hardware and software for hacker attacks. I’d rather leave that to the professionals who do love it. Sure, I could outsource the work to a server farm company, but then if a client has a problem, they contact me, I contact the server farm, the farm answers me, I answer the client, the client comes back with another question… Frankly, I’d rather save you the money and time by letting you work with the hosting service of your choice.
Besides, I’ve never wanted a job where I had to be on-call 24/7/365. It makes the kayaking and bird watching difficult.
