The Most Bestest, Ginormous Social Media and Internet Marketing Guru Expert to Ever Walk the Planet and Breathe In Your Air ……. Ever!

by Frank Reed on November 2, 2009

Best RibbonIn case you didn’t realize it, the title is about me. I know everything about social media and Internet marketing that was and ever will be. Heck, I forget more in a day than you’ll ever know about social media and Internet marketing. I won’t tell you that though because it is better to appear humble and it’s likely that you are so lost about social media and Internet marketing that you won’t even know that I am not sincere. Don’t worry, though, I’ll show pity on you ….. honest.

That wears me out even trying to be satirical about where this whole Internet marketing thing has landed as of late. Superlatives and wild claims rule the day. Supposedly there are millions of clueless business people running around like chickens with their heads cut off yelling (I know, I know their heads are cut off but work with me on this, please) “I need to speak to the one person on the entire planet who has figured all of this out! I know they exist because there about a million people claiming to be just that person!”

Does anyone see how silly this is starting to seem?

I’ll be the honest one here today and I’ll see what you think. I started out in sales of Internet marketing services right at 4 years ago. I knew nothing, as in zilch, about the industry other than it made sense. The whole idea of search and Internet marketing in general intrigued me because I have business experience. Business evolves and the Internet makes the most sense moving forward about how it will continue to do so.

I was blessed to run into some pretty sharp people and I started to learn. I learned as a sales guy first. The technical folks reading this will say that I didn’t know anything while I would fire back that if you can’t apply all of your Internet techno-wizardry to an actual business problem then you don’t know much either. Honestly, I have stayed on the theory side of search marketing until about a year ago and that was out of necessity.

Social media I would be considered a late adopter but I am in it. I have not created any communities though and I am about to get going on a project around that concept that I need to do. Why? Mainly because the subject matter means the world to me and I also need to do it. I need to get my hands dirty.

I write about Internet marketing every day and I have a decent working knowledge of the industry. I am not a pundit but I can see trends and I can see how things fit together. I am learning that there is great value in that because it is not as easy as I seem to think it is.

Honestly, though, I am just another guy trying to figure all of this out and looking to help people in the process. As any search marketer worth their salt would say. “Well, if you are so good you should do it for yourself.” True and I do but I don’t get as much out of that so I don’t concentrate on me like maybe I should.

So I am not actually the “The Most Bestest, Ginormous Social Media and Internet Marketing Guru Expert to Ever Walk the Planet and Breathe In Your Air ……. Ever!” No. I am actually someone who does get certain things but won’t claim that I have done everything.

Who are you?
