How did you find EOK?
friends, Twitter
What do you do?
I help people sell stuff.

Right now, my bread and butter is marketing strategy and copywriting. I've got experience with everything from naming and comprehensive web marketing to one-page ads and full-length book manuscripts. I'm still adding content to my website, Neededwriter.com
Much of my recent work has been helping my clients develop their online businesses with SEO, traffic generation, and social media strategy.

I've organized a team of freelancers called Bright Newt to help connect my clients with other creative professionals whose areas of expertise are different than mine. From branding, identity, and business development to design, web development, and photography, I act as a portal to people whom they can trust, and at the same time, I take care of administrative and other details. This way, organizations and individuals who can't afford the high rates of a traditional firm still have access to great talent and can develop a marketing strategy with all the different components working in concert.

Let me know if you'd like to become a part of this creative network—the bigger our pool of contacts, the better the value to all of our prospective clients.

Long term: I'm excited about the possibility of taking one of my blogs, gu.e (pronounced “goo”), and expanding it into a tribe of people who share their best anecdotes, absurdities, and irreverent banter. I could say a lot more, but I'd rather get together and have a conversation over coffee.
Where can we find you on the web?
My Business :: Neededwriter.com
My Funny Blog :: g.ue (pronounced “goo”)
Who are you? Tell us a little about you...
I am a poet, writer, runner, avid flyfisherman, advertiser, and marketer. Most of my family lives in Nashville. I stayed in Knoxville because I fell in love with the city. Knoxville listens to young professionals in a way that many cities don't. I want to contribute to Knoxville's brain gain and see transformative ideas take root here.
What role would you play in a startup?
Marketing, Visionary

Welcome to EOK, Austin! Glad you found us! Yeah, I need to drop that Greeting Cards profile question...it used to make sense but the 3rd party app we were using went out of business. Take a look around and get to know some people...check the FAQ section for getting started tips. ~Leo

Website Diagnosis: What you should do to improve your site's marketing potential

Website Self-Diagnosis


Introduction
When we tell business owners, “Your website needs a facelift,” one of two things happens: either they nod or they get offended.
The ones who get offended probably think we are trying to create work for ourselves. They are right, of course. Bright Newt is always looking for ways to help people improve their businesses through marketing, especially web marketing. We also want to pay our bills and eat.

Those two aims inspired us to… Continue

Secrets for Entrepreneurs

The secret to entrepreneurial success is simple:

Look for gaps in different industries and sectors of the business world. Think of possible solutions—the means by which you can fill these gaps. Snoop around and see if anybody else has noticed the same gap. Research these competitors and then offer a solution with superior performance, a lower price, or a better value.

Always keep in mind, price and value are two different animals.

I discovered this foundational business practices in elementar… Continue
