How's your buzz? Humming along, spotty, non-existent? Has an outsider taken control? Virtual marketing is not only the future - it's now! Web 2.0 has changed the landscape of cyberspace. Static websites and eNewsletters will no longer get the job done. I help small businesses and solopreneurs harness the power of the internet to increase awareness and attract new customers. Services offered include: Virtual marketing analysis and planning LinkedIn Consulting Setup, management, updates and optimization of social network profiles Blog setup, writing and publishing with a focus on SEO and promotion Inbound lead generation Website development and updates Online community creation and management Brand and image monitoring Email/viral marketing Services are provided on retainer and per project basis. With more than a decade of experience in the nonprofit and financial services sectors, I specialize in reaching these markets. My knowledge base extends to many other industries as well. I offer exceptional writing skills (I received a perfect score on the GMAT writing exam) and true out-of-the-box thinking. With Crystal Clear Buzz, your message comes shining through!
