About Me

In July 2009, I released a book entitled The New Community Rules: Marketing on the Social Web (O'Reilly), which covers social media technologies and explains exactly why you want to become immersed in this emerging but rapidly evolving phenomenon. The first half of the book explains exactly what is required of someone diving into the social media "marketplace," whereas the second half highlights the specific online properties where you can make a measurable impact; this section provides guidelines on what is acceptable and what isn't and where you can successfully promote your business.

I am an Internet Marketing strategist with expertise in Social Media Marketing as it relates to content creation, promotional methods, and outreach. I also emphasize Search Engine Optimization and Pay Per Click strategy. In the past, I have worked in many technology related fields, from computer programming to system administration in both Linux and Microsoft environments.

I am available to help you kick start your social media marketing or search marketing campaigns with regard to offering strategy and creative tips, community management, researching online communities and markets, content management, and more.
