SEO, Pizza, and Longboarding on Friday
It’s Friday! Another week has flown by and on Fridays the guys in the office are using their breaks to get outside and ride their new “office” longboard. Although they are getting pretty good at it, I can’t watch. They even tried to convince me to give it a try, but since the only thing that I do well on wheels is my office chair, I declined. We ordered Domino’s pizza...
Social Media Strategy
I am reading INBOUND MARKETING by Brian Halligan and Dharmesh Shah of Hubspot and they explain inbound marketing so clearly for a social media intern like myself. The traditional “brochure-like” website is compared to a small town with one road through it, a customer may stop once on the way through, look around and enjoy the scenery, then leave and never return. With the use of...
T.G.I.F.
My next challenge is to learn about and understand inbound marketing and how to develop inbound links. All of this information is slowly sinking in and making sense to me, but the scope of social media is overwhelming. I believe this is going to be an ongoing process, there will ALWAYS be more to learn. We are creating an inbound marketing resource for Adrenaline Commerce followers/customers (and...
In the Dark About Social Media?
I wonder how many business owners are as completely in the dark about social media and inbound marketing as I was? I am not currently a business owner, but I can see how someone who is not familiar with social media could start a website and think “this is it, I have hit the bigtime!!” and then be sorely disappointed when their sales don’t improve.

Learning Inbound Marketing
I am listening to the second course offered on Inbound Marketing University titled “SEO Crash Course to Get Found”. This is my third attempt at this course and I am determined to get through it and understand it this time. I marvel at my son and his generation’s ability to listen to loud music, talk on the phone, fly a remote control helicopter around the office, AND work on the...
Combining work with pleasure...
What a beautiful day it is today! I think spring fever has reached epidemic proportions …the sun is shining, the air is warm, people are cooking out, riding bikes, and running. Nobody seems to be inside working EXCEPT ME!! I am sitting in front of my computer, headset on, determined to conquer the Inbound Marketing University series of 16 courses.
I am an optimistic, “glass half...

Who knew? Work CAN be fun!!
Today I attended LA2M with my son, Joe, the director of sales and marketing for Adrenaline Commerce, LLC. I had heard that it was a networking event and being very green in the social media department, I was not sure what to expect. Would people want me to talk about social media? If so, could I form an intelligent sentence in reply?? Probably not! Yikes, I did not want to embarrass myself or...
The Rise of a Social Media Intern...MOM
Soooo, I have survived raising a son (so far…) who is an adrenaline junkie. After years of endangering himself and scaring the heck out of me, he became an adult and started his own ecommerce web design business, appropriately named Adrenaline Commerce, LLC. Now I have the opportunity to work with him as Adrenaline Commerce’s Social Media Intern, book keeper, and yes, his Mom.
As...
