Last year after I passed out on a sidewalk and nearly broke my nose, I decided it was time that I look into getting alcohol treatment. At the time that I began looking for treatment I was 18 and had been drinking for 5 years. Everyone in my family drank heavily and while I have a history of alcoholism it was just written of as the “partying gene.” I knew I had to go to a detox center but I wanted to make sure it was one where I would not be the youngest person there. I also decided I wanted to do inpatient rehab to ensure that I get sober. I am now 22 years old, my entire four years at college I did not drink alcohol. I am one of the few Americans to say they had a sober 21st birthday, and while this may sound lame I can honestly say alcohol treatment changed my life.
I designed shirts that were printed on organic cotton and while my store sales were good my online sales were not nearly as high as I projected. I wanted to find someone that would redesign my webpage and market it so that I could begin to get the online revenue I had hoped for. I called up an online marketing company and asked about their services. I explained to them that I wanted greater online sales for my apparel business and they told me about organic SEO and SEO copywriter, as well as a number of other things to think about when marketing something online. What SEO stands for is Search Engine Optimization, meaning that when people google environmentally friendly Ts, my business will pop up towards the top. SEO copywriter you can think of is the language that reads well for the surfer so that your website will get picked up and displayed in higher rank. When I went to meet with the person I hired in person I showed up with a pad of yellow paper and a bunch of multicolored sticky notes with websites written down, so that I could show him the sites I wanted to emulate in design and what I thought was successful. He looked at my long list of sites and said, “wow this must of taken forever”. Then he showed me how to do social bookmarking so that I can save all the links I want to reference and view them from any computer. I now no longer waste time writing down long URL sites and in terms of my online sales they have gone up 5 times. I even got a call from an excited cousin talking about how they were searching for shirts on the internet and my business popped right up.
