FREE SEO & Social Media Mastery Course Birthday Giveaway!

Here's My Chance to Give Back!

In honor of my 44th birthday this week I will be giving away 44 hours of consulting and training on everything I've learned over the past 10 years doing Internet marketing, Enterprise Level SEO Consultation to some of the largest brands on the Internet, speaking at conferences globally and visionary architect of some of the largest social media campaigns - ever.

Here is my Bio and LinkedIn.

I've done really well in this industry and I just want to give some back to either:

1. Someone just starting out in the SEO or Social media space
2. An interesting young company that would benefit from my advice and connections
3. Perhaps a big brand that I admire and would love to work for gratis anyway :)
   
4. A promising venture capital funded company that I could say I helped out along the way
   

What You Will Get:

44 hours of risk free absolutely free consulting services either in person or telephonically / email / Twitter. Did I mention this was free?

Enterprise level SEO Mastery training - the kind that I used to drive $9.6MM in profits in two years at Autobytel, Inc and over $20MM since then.

Online strategic marketing - the kind I used to take UsedCars.com from a small 2 man operation to a sale at 16X revenue to Cobalt Corporation for $4.2MM

Access to my Rolodex - ask anyone who knows me - I'm extremely well connected in the online space. Most people are 6 degrees away from who they need to get to - I'm at max one or two degrees.

Access to many top tier venture capital firms that I know well.

Access to many of the companies that I've met as Evangelist for WebmasterWorld's PubCon conferences and as an attendee or speaker at 18 - 20 worldwide conferences a year over the past 8 years.

Introduction to strategic partners that may benefit yourself or your company. I know many of the top execs at some of the hottest companies on the net today.

Training sessions for as many people that you can pack into a room - or one on one.

If relevant - introduction to top contacts in the television media and film world.

*UPDATE* - Thanks for all of the applications and requests for the B-Day giveaway contest. I received almost 40 entries and many were extremely interesting and compelling. The winner has been selected and for now wishes to remain anonymous for some obvious and competitive reasons. This was a fun exercise and one I may repeat in the future due to the fun element of the giveaway. ;)
