Q. Do you do free consulting?

Once you read all my blog posts, feel free to ask me a question about your specific marketing challenges. I try to respond to all questions from my website as I know how frustrating it can be when you just need a little direction.

Please note, I will respond in the form of a blog post if/when I do get back to you. I do this so I didn’t keep having to answer the same question over and over and over and over…(and over).

I also do marketing consulting on a paid basis from time to time when it requires a lot more than what I can fit into a blog post. It just depends on the project (and the budget). I don’t take everything that comes my way and am very selective.

Q. Can I call you and pick your brain?

A. While I enjoy a good conversation with martial arts school owners, I unfortunately don’t have the time to do this with everyone. I suggest you click around my website, do a search, or visit the archive page to get caught up on all the free content on this site.

If you have a question, follow the instructions above.

Q. Can you look at my site or blog and give me some ideas?

As you can imagine, I get a lot of inquires for this and just don’t have the time. I get several requests just about everyday for this. Please don’t be offended, it’s just I have a severe lack of time.

Q. Can you link to my website?

A. Your best bet is to leave a thoughtful and relevant comment on one of the posts and include your link there. Be sure to read my policies before commenting. In short, if you want a link, please join the conversation and share you experience then provide your link.

Q. Can you add my business to your resources page?

A. I am very select on the sites I link out to from this site and am only looking for reputable martial arts related services and products for martial arts school owners.

Q. How long have you been blogging?

A. I started blogging in June 2005 on my SLC UT Martial Arts schools’ website.

Q. Where do you live?

I live in Salt Lake City Utah, USA.

Q. Do you currently run a martial arts school?

A. Yes, and it’s not a McDojo. I run an adults only school that has a waiting list of over 125 people.

Q. Why should I listen to you about marketing?

A. No one said you had to listen to me. If you don’t like what you read, then stop now. I’m just a guy with some marketing experience and computer who likes blogging. Take it or leave it.

Q. Where do you come up with your blog posts?

A. I base my posts on my over 10 years of marketing related experience working for marketing firms and advertising agencies. The things I share on this website are the same things I recommend and do for my multi-million dollar clients.

I try and cover things that aren’t being covered in the martial arts industry magazines. I have found there to be a lack of detail when it comes to many of the publications and forums out there. So, I decided to do something about it.
