I have been working online since I was coordinated enough to type. I started with FreeMania.net back in 1997, awarded by Netscape's What's Cool award, featured in WSJ, and written up in Horizon Airlines in flight magazine as one of the top young entrepreneurs in the country. Through college, I worked for several start-ups as a quasi office clerk/geek/SEO/business consultant.
One of my clients wanted to develop an online presence for an at home sushi making device he had manufactured overseas. I wrote press releases, redesigned his site for SEO, rewrote his title/meta tags, and submitted to the major search engines. I also built a vendor partnership with Amazon.com, and started a PPC program through Google Adsense. The result: 7 pages of organic online presence for SushiMagic.com within 6 months, and #1-5 SERP for the top sushi ware keywords.
The next venture was AbraxasEnergy.com, which makes software for ESCO's (Energy Service Consultants) to measure and verify savings when retrofitting building for energy savings. I created pricing packages to upsell services and features with each piece of software sold. I also installed and skinned X-cart so that AbraxasEnergy.com could sell software on a month-to-month subscription basis. And finally, I spearheaded several branding efforts to successfully create an e-version of the products in graphical form (software boxes)
Since graduating from Cal Poly State University in 2006, I have traveled to SE Asia and recently hired at a web analytics, which makes ROI and PPC tracking software for online marketers. |
