The first official post

So after months of prodding and probably over a year of setting up this blog, I have finally gotten around to writing the first entry. The course of the last year has altered and changed for the better some of my long held beliefs and ideas concerning online marketing and its global nature. I have recently returned to the US after living in London for the last year and a half. I opened up the first international office for Myfamily.com...and it was a roaring success. Exceeding the success metrics set up by over 400%. After accomplishing what I had set out to do, I headed back to Utah where the corporate offices of MyFamily are...not to return to work, but to resign. Many, including my wife thought I was crazy. I had spent the last 6 years with MyFamily and was going to leave behind a lucrative offer and a stable company....but that was just it. It was stability to the point of boring. I had accomplished what I could at MF and it was clear that they weren't going to do what it took to retain my services and keep me interested in working for them long term. (Seems to be a trend around with all of the best minds heading for the door) So I returned from the UK on a Thursday and promptly resigned the following Monday. This was a major leap into the dark for me...I had become so comfortable at MF that I was a little uncertain of my Skill set. This only lasted a short while as I had three job offers immediately upon return, and then have had 2 others since accepting a position at 10Speed Media Along with focusing on the marketing and development of our video affiliate platform, I have switched some of my efforts to the other side of the fence. I have started a company called Digital Summit, partnering with an amazing developer, Jason Clinton and we are jamming on affiliate sites. We are first focusing on the genealogy space with sites like Vital records Vault, Birth Records Archive, Death Records Archive, and Marriage Records Archive. These sites, while focusing specifically on certain genres of genealogy, will provide a great service for many budding family historians. All in all I am extremely excited about the future...it is no longer the known grind day after day, but filled with promise and adventure. For instance tomorrow, I will be pitching around 30 Angel investors on 10Speed Media, then be on a client pitch later in the afternoon, then back to the office to work on contracts and do further testing on the beta 2 product we just released today. Then for the icing on the cake, I will probably go home and finish a review for my Genealogy Review site.Keep posted as this blog will get frequent updates into my life, the life of an internet marketer.
