Mike is a full time firefighter and paramedic who has found a fabulous income stream helping local businesses manage online marketing! About 4 years ago he started dabbling in the internet marketing/ eBay side of things to make some extra money. He bought Jim Cockrum's "Silent Sales Machine" in the process. He has done a lot on eBay, from consignment selling , to ebooks to misspelled items.

He went on to write a viral ebook titled "Auction Mercenary" that sells very well for him. The little Auction Mercenary book he wrote around 2 years ago still brings in a nice sum each month on auto pilot.

In July of 2007 Mike was approached by a friend to help him market his tanning salon online. In the process he became excited and started looking into making an actual business out of tying Internet Marketing to local businesses.

He started to research firms to build sites and began coming up with business plans to make it happen. One of his clients is a million dollar business and another on is a local Chamber of Commerce. Mike credits his unique style of "Hello Marketing" for his success. More on that below.

He now has a lot of people waiting to work with him in his local area and business is booming! He's even won clients away from well known local "web guys" because he understands viral marketing tactics like email marketing, auto responders and outside the box marketing.
