Boy, a lot has happened in the past two weeks! I’m excited to share that I’m now an official Internet Marketing Specialist for EPS IT, Inc. in Stuart, FL. I’m applying all that I know about Web sites, the Internet, writing and designing, and I’m learning a lot more each day. Technically, I’m working on a per-project basis, but each project has lots of other opportunities connected to it.

I’m helping my customers with Search Engine Optimization of their Web sites (getting their site to pop up first on Google searches). I’m also writing Web site content, creating newsletters, getting the companies connected to the social media world and designing various logos and layouts. I’ve been a busy girl, but I’m definitely happiest when I’m busy and feeling productive. As I learn more and acquire more clients, I will earn more and more. My goal is to move south (West Palm Beach or anywhere south of that in Florida) and eventually start my own company continuing to help businesses and individuals with their Web sites.

It’s such an exciting job because I get to meet so many fabulous people, and every day is different. Plus, you can’t complain about making your own schedule and doing most of your work from home! There aren’t a lot of people who really know what they’re talking about in this field, so there is a huge demand for someone like me.

This (YouTube link below) is one of my first clients. He’s a middle-aged adrenaline junky who developed a special marine camouflage wetsuit. In this video, he and his sons waded chest-deep in Lake Okeechobee hunting for alligators with a speargun. It’s pretty nuts! Please check out this movie (it’s my first video editing job), and I know you won’t be disappointed with the outcome — it’s pretty crazy!
