JBro Marketing: Technical Blogging Made Easy

I built this JBro Marketing blog to share my passion with you.  Specifically, that is driving visitors and getting exposure online through the various methods that I teach. These tactics can be done for free (except for the domain and hosting) and anyone who tells you different is either crappy at their profession or is trying to sell you something!

Please keep in mind that most of these Internet Marketer “gurus” make most of their money by selling you stuff that either never worked, or will stop working soon as the search engines figure out their tactics.

If you want to start learning immediately instead of reading my rant, the lessons start on the left or you can start with my free keyword research book on the top right. I have lessons all over the web, so you may be jumping around.

I update them all the time as I write or make videos, so it is an ongoing process that will probably never end!  It would definitely help if you comment somewhere about lessons and topics you want to see.  I would really enjoy answering your questions with a post or video that everyone can learn from, so don’t be shy.

One of my favorite ideas about the Internet is that we can create pages and sites out of thin air and teach people across the entire Earth.  We can trade lessons online, so why not dedicate fully?  You never know what tomorrow brings, so you might as well dive in to something that you love and teach others.  This is especially true if you are out of work, or are killing time watching worthless TV.

I have spent a couple of years around the search engine and Internet Marketing communities.  I’ve gone through a lot of courses and tools, so I have a pretty good feel for what works and what doesn’t. Google completely changed the way that they return results through 2011, just like they do every year.

Did you know that on average, Google changes their ranking algorithm equations more than once a day?  What all this means is that it is getting more and more difficult to outwit them.  I am very relieved that I gave up on that losing game. I ran about 50 autoblogs that did well for a while, but their traffic was decimated with a Google update, so that made me erase all of them and focus. Now, I just teach free tactics that work over a long time period. I absolutely love it.

If you have been into Internet Marketing or SEO a while, I want you to take a step back and look at the efforts that you spend your time on.  If you are trying to game the search engines through link networks, software, spun text, etc., I think it’s a losing game over time.

You will be constantly battling with algorithm changes and the people that are a lot smarter than you are, no matter what you think.  I tried this route for most of my Internet Marketing career, but the tactics were always failing.  Maybe I just sucked at it, but I think this is the same story that applies to many of you.

Instead, I now take the best and most useful of those hard learned lessons and boil them down for you guys and gals who are non-technical like me.  I don’t have any degree and I never did anything more than browsing the web and Facebook before 2010.  I learned quite a bit since then and I want to share it with everybody.

Whether you are an artist, journalist, blogger, upcoming video producer, activist, affiliate marketer, or whatever, I hope I can explain things in terms that you can understand.  If I fail you, leave a comment or email!

Even if you just want to learn more about the Internet and this slowly exploding technology, you are in the right place.  There is no better way to learn than to participate.

Blogging, search engines, and social media are important skills to have as we start 2012 with more and more technology that connects the planet.  It’s not hard to become an unofficial technician of this industry, and I hope I can push you in this direction.  I think many jobs are simply going online.

We see massive numbers of people who are newly interested in this business for their blog or own business, so I really think that we are in the middle of an evolving global economy that relies on the Internet. Of course there are going to be hardships and collapses, but that always happens when exponential changes in technology occur.

It is a good idea to educate yourself until the next crazy paradigm comes along.

Allow me to teach you this stuff, make your own blog to help other people, and we will all progress together.

Have a good 2012 by taking care of each other and listening to your own instincts instead of ANYONE else.
