I just want to blog.

I have spent the last several years performing digital marketing services for companies. Some projects went better than others. Most went pretty well over all.

I helped clients with their Google accounts, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and various social media. In addition I helped clients with Yelp strategies. Yelp is a big factor in several kinds of businesses these days.

I also assisted with content creation, website copy, articles, corporate video and graphic design.

I love meeting new people and helping them on the web, mobile and social media. Especially when they are happy with the service and I get paid.

With that being said, I just want to blog.

In a perfect world I get can my blogs and YouTube channel rocking. The more exposure I get through my blogs, videos and social media; the more people who will want to work with me.


The issue is, I have spent the majority of my years helping others look amazing online and grow their exposure. Now when people look at the following I have on the web it's not that big so some don't believe how experienced I am.

In my defense, it's sometimes easier to help clients on the web because they are already making more money than me. When a client has a company earning six or seven figures a year, they can move faster on good digital marketing opportunities because they can throw down the credit card faster than me.

This year I'm going to continue my digital marketing like always. I'm also going to focus more on getting my own personal profiles more exposure so it's not like puling teeth to get new clients.

I know the web inside and out. The question is, does anyone know about it?

Startups and Digital Marketing

I balance my days working on startups and digital marketing.

Startups are mostly for myself and digital marketing is for companies.

I have performed digital marketing for companies for a while now. It's an interesting industry.


Digital marketing revolves around a few things in my opinion.

1. Secrets. What that means is if you have the information, certain parts of digital marketing is so easy you don't need any help if you want to save money. Not everyone wants to, some do.

2. Trust and luck. Finding someone or a digital marketing company who knows what they are doing and has your best interests at heart. I will go on record and say there are many talented companies and there are some that aren't. It's the same as with anything.

3. Figuring out how to best utilize resources of time and money. Creating the best digital marketing plan to grow. That includes short term and long term.

4. Another is interaction with the client and team. That feedback can be crucial.

5. Remember if you have a digital marketing professional who is knowledgeable and on your side, it's not you vs him or her. Your on the same team.

What that means is, sometimes clients have my back completely and other times clients try to paint me into a corner. That is why I'm 100% transparent upfront. I don't guarantee anything besides I'll give you my best information and implementation.

There are so many variables these days, it's hard to guarantee results. I can't always predict how people are going to react to your brand. I can't control your companies reviews, etc.

Some of the things I enjoy most about digital marketing for companies include meeting new people and being able to work from almost anywhere there is an Internet connection

Independent Movie Digital Marketing

I have always been interested in the film industry and have worked with some independent film companies. There are a few ways I am trying to break into the business. One is by creating and producing my own films. Another is digital marketing for independent feature films other people have made. Not every movie is going to make it to theaters. Today, there are websites where filmmakers can offer their features for rent and sale. Once the movie is ready to go, the question is how to create the maximum exposure on the web, mobile and social media.

I perform these services for companies on a daily basis. I have a little experience with marketing for films but not much. I still think some of it overlaps from the work I provide for small and medium businesses. There are no guarantees as with anything in life, especially web marketing, but I'd like to give it a shot either for myself or a filmmaker that has something ready to go.

Mark Pine Explains Online Advertising Strategy

In this video I'm going through how online advertising strategies may or may not effect your company. Online advertising is a gamble. I guarantee nothing. It's not you vs me. All I do is try to position companies as best as I can to succeed or grow on the web, mobile and social media.

Of course a big part of it is online advertising in many cases, not all. In a perfect world, sustainable advertising online helps companies gain more impressions and clicks. There is a lot more to my digital marketing services, although online advertising is a part of it that I like a lot when it clicks.

There is presentation to consider as well. I help businesses improve their presentation if they are advertising or just want to go for as much organic and social media traffic.
