Welcome to the premiere site of Marketing Ropes.
Sep 6, 2008 Website Development
I’m a huge fan of podcasts and listen to them all the time. While listening to all these podcasts, I’ve accumulated over 100 pages of notes on tools, tips and websites to help promote and market online. Well, it’s become a huge disorganized mess that I’m slowly getting together. I had a lot of information but didn’t have all the pieces to continue.
I, then, came across The Ten Golden Rules of Internet Marketing Podcast by Jay Berkowitz earlier this year. I downloaded and listened to all of Jay’s episodes. He always made a point of asking the listeners to call in which made the podcasts more interesting by having different questions/topics answered and discussed on the show.
In one of Jay’s podcasts, he instructed a listener on how to do a podcast. I thought that was great. I then contacted Jay and asked if he was interested in teaching a listener how to create a website and promote it. That listner would be me.
We finally got to talk together after some scheduling conflicts and had some good conversation. Jay is a natural public speaker. I, on the other hand, found myself mumbling as he interviewed me. I hope I do better as we do the next couple of podcast interviews.
Anyway, I hope you all follow along as Jay takes me down this interesting and wonderful journey of Internet marketing and promotion. I’ll post all the steps needed to allow you to do the same and use this site as a reference.
Please post your comments on things you may want to see or even post some of your own tips and tricks.
Also, make sure you go to The Ten Golden Rules and listen to Jay’s podcasts. You can also get them from iTunes.

Looking good. I suggest adding a link to the comments on the main homepage. It was a little hard to figure out how to comment.

Hi Loukas! I just listened to the podcast on your ‘internship’ with Jay – you’re one lucky fellow!
Your project is looking great! I’ll be interested to know how SEO is working for you and what results you have received thus far. I’m new at the blogging thing too – and applied SO many things Jay has suggested – and I’m especially looking at YOUR progress as inspiration for MINE!
Thanks, Loukas – and ALL the best to you!

Thank you Alex,
I appreciate the kind comments. I should have the next step of the site up soon after I speak with Jay in the next couple of days.
I’ll just be following Jay’s instructions to move ahead with the site.
Check back for all the updates.
