A Lifetime with Technology

I have been working with computers since 1979, with software development teams since 1981, online since 1984, and on the Internet since 1993. I’ve written more books about technology than perhaps any other author, on this or any other planet, and have extensive experience in almost every area of online business, from building ecommerce sites to PPC advertising, from search-engine optimization to “community” and “social” marketing.

Contact me if you need help building your online strategy.

Ecommerce Consulting

I’ve worked in almost every area: Web-site construction, search-engine optimization, online advertising (in particular Pay Per Click advertising), affiliate marketing, social-networking or community marketing, online PR, “re-commerce” and Amazon FBA, and much more. I started a dotcom, an e-business service provider, funded by one of the world’s largest Venture Capital firms. I was VP of Web Solutions for a national ISP, and VP of marketing for a Web-Applications Development firm. And in recent years I’ve provided consulting services to Amazon, TowerRecords.com, Lonely Planet, Zillow, and literally hundreds of small and medium businesses struggling to succeed online.
