My Services

Please Read This First

Marketing must be done regularly and on a long-term, consistent basis. If you do no marketing you may not be able to stay in business. Experts say it takes seven exposures to your products and services before a potential customer becomes a customer.

Internet marketing done consistently will take three to six months to make a difference and must be continued in order to grow your business. The results of any marketing techniques cannot be guaranteed and with internet marketing your website must be ready to convince those potential customers to get out their wallets.

How I Work

I hand pick clients who are committed to a long-term relationship and who are willing to invest in marketing. Each client gets a customized marketing plan that is constantly updated to increase results. You can work with Your Marketing Assistant on a retainer basis using PayPal to pay me automatically on the first of every month.

The minimum retainer available is $525 for fifteen hours of services each month. This may seem expensive but what you are paying me for is my marketing savvy & creativity and my years of experience marketing on the internet.

Listed below is a sample of the services I offer my clients. Most of my clients are on a retainer but you can purchase a stand-alone website review (more information is on my website review page) or an article submission (download this FAQ to learn more about article submissions).
