Yes, I am a Marketing Nerd

I thought about giving you my whole resume here and all the reasons why I think I am the best person to help you with your online marketing but then I put myself in your shoes. When I thought about it, I figured you would probably want to know three things:

1. Who is this guy and what can he do for my business?
2. Can he do what he says he can?
3. Can I trust him?

Assuming that answering these questions will be of use to you, here we go.

My name is Eric Haaranen.  I am the owner of this site and over a dozen others – all of them profitable.  It is through these sites that I test my marketing ideas with my own money before making any recommendations to my clients.  This is the primary reason why I am so confident I can help your business.

I am also the author of “Nice People Can Sell. How to Leverage the Power of the Internet to Grow Your Business“.  This book contains all of my marketing discoveries since my first website went live in 1998.  The primary purpose of it is to give you my method of using the Internet to generate sales leads for any business.  My book is available through Amazon.com.  Click here to check it out.

Am I the real deal?

Everything I do online is measurable. Branding means little to me. Nor does top of mind awareness. These are just terms that ad agencies toss around because they don’t want anyone measuring the results they produce. Me? I believe in one thing in business. RESULTS. I also have a very simple method of measuring results. Money in versus money out.

Call me crazy but I think that anyone selling anything should stand behind what they’re selling. I’m selling marketing services that will generate more revenue for your business that they will cost you. What’s more I guarantee it.

I can do this because I understand that marketing on the Internet comes down to only two things: Traffic and Conversion. Traffic is how many people know about your business. Conversion is what percentage of that traffic buys what you’re selling. If you constantly improve both sides of the equation your sales must improve.

I’m claiming that I can get more traffic to your site through SEO and PPC but where is the proof? Well, if you click here you will see a page I have created to show you just a few of my successes. One thing that I’m quite proud of is the fact that my personal blog is #1 on Google Canada for the search term “website seo services”.  Click here to see what I’m talking about.

I’m competing with marketing companies and all the individuals that call themselves SEO experts yet my little blog is at number one and has been for over a year.  Imagine what we can do with your site when you’re only competing with other sites in your local market?

Can You Trust Me?

That is the question when it comes to business. It is great to be able to do something but when push comes to shove is the work going to get done? Well, the good news is that I don’t need shoving to do this type of work. It is something I love doing.

Having said that, I do want to put your mind at ease. This time, I have put together a short pdf of people who have worked with me in the past and what they have to say about the experience. You can view this document here. You’ll also notice a list of testimonials from people I’ve worked with along the right hand side of this site.

I hope that this puts your mind at ease enough that you’ll give me a call if you think we should speak further. At the end of the day I know that I can massively improve your online marketing efforts but you need to feel comfortable with my services… so let’s chat.
