Hi.  I’m Eric.  Husband, father and life-long entrepreneur.  (And writer on Forbes too.)
3 Things About Me:
1.)  Love helping other entrepreneurs.  Are you an entrepreneur?  If so, I want to hook up with you.  Your Wisdom + My Wisdom = More Success
2.)  College Dropout.  Yes, that’s me.  Why?  Because all I ever wanted to do was start my own business.  Couldn’t do that sitting on my backside starting at the chalkboard.

3.)  Ice Cream Fanatic.  Well, this isn’t going to be much help to you.  Unless you want to hook up and talk about business…. over a bowl of ice cream.  :-)

Want to connect?  Come see me at:  Mighty Wise Media

Can’t wait to see you there…  :-)  Eric

Greetings from wine country in Northern CA –

I’m Pat Chiappa and I work with my husband in his financial planning practice, Spiritus Financial Planning – he does the financial stuff, I handle the marketing, and everything else.  We’re small, and want to stay small – which keeps us on our toes. Miraculously, I discovered Social Media Examiner years back, which has helped me from the start. In the SEO world, there is so much to learn and it’s constantly changing – which is exciting and sometimes daunting. I’m still a rookie and I’m looking forward to sharing our collective wealth of knowledge with all small business owner members.

Hello,

So pleased to be part of this network! I’m looking forward to learning from this group and also ready to help answer marketing, business and social marketing questions!

Here’s my “About Me”:

I’m a classically-trained marketing professional, and my experience also includes more than ten years specifically in the online marketing arena and the last three years focused on social media. 

I am the founder and a blogger of TheSucculentWife.com, and an avid lifestyle and trend-watcher which provides me with unique insights on developing trends and the inside-track with boomer women consumers and bloggers.

My latest venture is BOOMbox Network, an online network of baby boomer social influencers. Here, I combine my professional experience as a marketer and as a blogger/influencer. With an understanding of the requirements on BOTH sides, I create campaigns which provide value and performance. And lots of incidental and yummy insights!

Hi Everyone, my name is Martyn McDermott and I co-own a small design business in the UK called Harrington McDermott Ltd. Our core service is Graphic and Web design, but we also offer eLearning, video production, web development, Social media marketing, event services and internal communications services.As far as our social media offerings go, they are fairly elementary, as we’ve fallen into it more by necessity than by choice as all of our clients ask about it and ultimately require it too obviously.So, I meet you here at the beginning of my journey into better educating myself on the power of utilising social media for business so I can better inform and serve my clients. And also apply what I learn to my own business too.You can connect with me and my business at the following social haunts: (Twitter: @designbrighton) – (Facebook: /design.brighton) – (Google+:  Personal Profile  - Business Profile) – (LinkedIn: Personal Profile) – (Pinterest: Personal Profile)

I really look forward to learning and sharing with you all.Best Regards,Martyn

Hi everyone, 

My name is Sean Keyes. I began my online adventure with the software company Uniblue.com before moving to Pagemodo.com the Facebook pages company. I now co-own http://www.AvalanShare.com, we have a social media product to allow online stores to reward their customers for sharing their product or service across Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Google+ and also email. 

I am interested to hear from bloggers who are looking for social media products to talk about. We will help to provide you with as much content and support as possible. 

I would also like to talk to social media experts who may provide social media services to clients. We are an online tool but there is great scope for social media gurus to offer AvalanShare as a service to their clients. They can offer the product to their clients and manage the product for them for example.

Finally I would also like to speak to site owners especially online stores as we can really help to increase your social media presence whilst also bringing you quality customers. 

I also look forward to speaking to everyone who forms this community. 

Very best regards

Sean Keyes

Hello All

I own/run/am Guiding Light Marketing, a social media, inbound marketing agency and Guiding Light Websites. I believe in buy-local, real SEO, honest marketing, social media, SEM, blogging, and love helping small businesses succeed. 
I am also currently building a playground (Rebuilding Rounds), which started out of my blog at Playground Hunt.
Before that I was a scientist, running a skeletal muscle research lab at a pharmaceutical company – Ph.D. and everything.
I have two children, two dogs, three cats, and a husband.

I started Guiding Light Marketing after Google changed the way local businesses are shown in search results in November 2010. Now local businesses can compete with the big fish by having honest reviews, a web presence, and being listed in directories with the correct information. Buy-Local campaigns are making a huge difference to communities and I’m an enthusiastic advocate. With Guiding Light Marketing I want to help grow the local community and economy.

Hi my Name is Trudy and I work for a John Deere Dealership with 4 stores in Central Washington.  My official title is Marketing and Communications Director.  I’m responsible for Direct Mail, the website and Social Media.  As a John Deere Dealership there are certain rules we must follow, such as: only sell NEW equipment within our 5 assigned counties, and only use John Deere colors on our website with no mention of other manufacturers on the home page.  We can, however, sell our used equipment outside of this area. Because of our marketing and website, we have sold as far away as Australia and China. We also are the largest potato equipment dealer in the state of Washington.

Greetings fellow SBOers. Before I introduce myself, I have to say  @edenrudin I love ice cream! I could live on it. I think I would be in heaven surrounded by ice cream, blogging about the different flavors.  @mike-stelzner You are the first person I began to follow and study when I got serious about social media management. You haven’t steered me wrong yet and for that I thank you.  Now, a bit about me. I started my 1st job when I was 15, I was…jk. Seriously, I began my love for cutting-edge technology back in the 80′s when I innocently accepted a temp job in PR at Apple Computer. To cut to the chase (internet time), I started working for myself about a year and a half ago. I have no shortage of clients and find myself not keeping up with the admin side of running a business. In a nutshell, I am hoping to gleam some golden nuggets of wisdom from all of you. I don’t blog as much for myself as I do for my clients but I am working on it. I am trying to summon up the Google+ bug and if one more person says Pinterest I might go back to online advertising…again jk, I would shoot myself first.You can find me as follows:https://www.facebook.com/TechEditz http://www.linkedin.com/pub/ellen-partal/41/48/42b https://plus.google.com/107328246183936084382/posts http://blog.techeditz.com/ So, start dropping those nuggets, I look forward to much exciting learning and sharing on this forum.Regards,Ellen

My name is Patrick Healy and I started Phacient in 2010. We’re a management consulting firm specializing in helping small to mid-sized businesses with their marketing, operations and technology needs. You can find us on the web at http://www.phacient.com and I’m based out of New York City.

We free up our clients to do what they do best while we do the rest. We leverage our relationships throughout the industry to help local firms think locally and act globally.

I also run a social media and technology meetup group in NYC called The Lucky Strikers Social Media Club. It’s a private business network that meets once a month to eat, learn, and network.

I’m passionate about people and technology. I’ve been called a translator, a Sherpa, a guru and disruptive. I’m OK with all of that.

Looking forward to seeing how we can work together and contribute to one another’s success!

Hello!  My name is Maureen or some just call me Mo.  I’ll answer to either!  I’ve been self-employed for the last year or so and also had a stint of running my own business, a small web design operation, 10+ years ago. With technology changing and my priorities shifting I want to make a go of being my own boss again and I created MoxieCreek.com. 

The last five years I managed a residential construction company which was exciting and challenging.  I got into it at the peak of the market and watched the economic challenges take their toll.  It was a tremendous learning experience and I was involved with the operations at many levels.  One day I had an idea that the small builders needed to have a way to publish their home inventory and keep it updated easily.  And SimpleHomesLister.com was born!  My husband, who is an incredible software developer, helped with the hard core programming and pushed me to dive back into technology.  I am embracing and loving taking my skills to the next level.  Now I need to embrace the business end of this – that is why I am here.  Looking forward to the journey!

Hi all,

I am a Marketing Director for http://www.longtermparking.com. I am trying to come up to speed more and more on social media marketing. I already engage in it a lot and I am in the process of learning more about HootSuite.

Any advice on HootSuite? I am finding it won’t let me log in using the business page I have for Facebook and is insisting on using my personal account to synch. This is not acceptable to me. Any advice?
