Making Money Online

Posted on December 26, 2008 by Steve

Small business owners who rely solely on a brick and mortar location have had a brutal Holiday season. As expected, retailers had one of the worst holiday shopping seasons in decades, with sales falling by double digits in nearly all categories according to Spending Pulse, a macroeconomic report by Master Card.

The report said that in November retail sales sand 5.5 percent compared with a year ago. On a brighter note, online commerce sales were much brighter. Amazon reported its “best ever” holiday sales season.

If your organization or association is looking for the perfect search engine optimization (SEO) speaker to help your members succeed online, call me. As an SEO speaker I help small business owners bring their marketing programs online. If you or your association members did not have the Holiday sales you needed; call me to help your sales efforts.

Sarasota MLS

Posted on October 25, 2008 by Steve

I’ve been following the saga of Marc Rasmussen who is a Sarasota Florida Realtor. Marc has spent years growing his real estate business in Sarasota. His time, efforts and money have allowed him to be in the first position of a Google search. Life is good-right up until the Sarasota MLS board decided to steal his domain name.

helen Sarasota MLS

The Sarasota board decided that since Marc had MLS in his domain name-they would exercise a little eminent domain. Truth is, The Sarasota MLS could not displace Marc from his number one ranking so they decided to take this despicable action. Morgan Carey was the first to sound the alarm on the thieves of the Sarasota MLS Board and his efforts have created a ground swell of support for Marc!

If you make money on the Internet and believe in true SEO efforts please read these articles and spread the word to prevent this happening to others.
