I have taken that common list of frequently asked questions and put my answers here, in hopes it will help with your decision of finding the right online marketing company for you. JimmyMarketing.com is not the right online marketing company for everyone, nor is everyone who is looking for an online marketing company the right match for me. Please read through the following, and I hope it will help you determine your next step for your online marketing strategy. Enjoy!
How long have you been an internet marketer and how did you become an expert?
I have been an internet marketer since 1997. I needed to get a ride from my mother for my first sales appointment, because I was only 15 years old. I have seen the internet change quite drastically over the years. Video marketing is now revolutionizing how people will communicate and learn. The next big wave online is video marketing. A few years back it was websites; every business owner knew they needed a website. Shortly, every business owner will know they need to utilize video. Overall, I have helped thousands of small business owners with their websites, design, videos, marketing plans, and so much more.
I am constantly learning about new technologies and strategies. My team is made is up of the top internet experts such as Mike Koenigs. Mike has worked with top performers such as Tony Robbins, Brian Tracey, Paula Abdul, Brendon Burchard, Brian Ferris, John Assaraf and many more. In 2009, he was awarded “Marketer of the Year.” Also, he launched an informational product that sold $1 million of product in less than 2 hours. That product went on to sell $9 million in the week long launch. In short, it is my obligation to my clients, that I stay on top of the ever-changing internet marketing arena and surround myself with the top internet marketing experts to bring the best value to our clients.
Who are your clients?Typically, our clients are small business owners or solopreneurs, who are top performers in their industry and excel at what they do. Most often, they want to be seen as #1 in their industry. Additionally, they want to spend time running their business instead of on marketing. They typically know they should be spending more time on marketing to make themselves and their business even more successful, but often times are not consistent with following through with those steps.
Additionally, our clients also know they have more to offer and are willing to do whatever it takes to launch their business to the next level. Most often, they have tried some internet marketing techniques on their own and understand additional support and expertise is needed to grow their business. Most times, they feel they could be throwing money away on ineffective marketing. With so many options out there for internet marketing, they typically do not know which will work best for their business. In short, our clients have a very strong desire to grow their business.

Am I not located in CT or RI? How do you shoot video of our business? How far do you travel?
We have a network of videographers throughout the United States that will come to your office or business and not only film and produce the videos but also coach you through the process. They are very familiar with the types of videos we need to help improve your overall online visibility. In short, location doesn’t matter when working with JimmyMarketing.com.
Additionally, we will use webinars and video to communicate with you. If you have never participated in a webinar, that is okay, we will help you through it.
How do I know your marketing system will work for my small business?
Maybe this will sound familiar to you, and it happens every day: a business owner, John, comes to me, worried that new online marketing techniques are passing him by and he is missing out on opportunities and leads he needs for his business. John is frustrated with all the options that are out there for online marketing and confused as to where to even begin. Using the JimmyMarketing.com system we have created, I guide John throughout the process taking out all the heavy lifting for him. Yes, John and/or his team members will need to be in some videos, but the rest is done by JimmyMarketing.com. The end result is John gains more internet exposure, and positions himself and his business as the leaders in the industry. By gaining more exposure, John captures more leads. Since his leads are in an automated follow-up system, John sees sales and profits increase. These results are possible and you can achieve them, as well.
Is the JimmyMarketing.com system exclusive? As one of the goals is bringing businesses to the top of Google, Yahoo, Bing, and other search engines, will you work with my competitors?
The JimmyMarketing.com system is exclusive. We will not work with any competitors in your immediate area you do business in. Ethically and strategically, working with your competition would just be wrong. Therefore, if you contact us and we are working with a competitor of yours already, we will inform you that we cannot work with you at this time.
Does your system work for national searches?
The JimmyMarketing.com system can work for national searches; however, it is much more competitive and takes longer to see results at the national level. The more specialized your business, the easier it will be to take you to the top. The fastest results are seen for businesses who serve local customers.
How are you different from other online marketing companies?
We are not just an online marketing company. Our approach is to look at your entire marketing (including offline marketing) and formalize a strategy to get all of your marketing working together. Our specialty is working with business owners who are hungry and eager to learn how to increase their online presence, and generate more leads and sales for their business.
What type of personality do you work best with, and what is expected from me?
I created the JimmyMarketing.com system for people who are eager, hungry to succeed, and serious about making more money. To make more money, small businesses need more sales. To generate more sales, small businesses need more leads. To generate more leads, small businesses need strategic marketing and systems to gain them more exposure. To gain the businesses more exposure, we utilize unique online marketing techniques to drive targeted traffic to lead capture systems.
With JimmyMarketing.com you will eliminate the frustration, struggle, and fear you may have about online marketing and using social media for your business.
In terms of what is expected from you, and/or your team members, will need to participate in videos a few times throughout the year. We will coach you through being on camera. We have taken camera shy people and helped them become very comfortable on camera. Also, we will need you to stick to timelines and schedules. When we present articles to you for your approval, you need to get back to us with your feedback in a timely manner.
Who do I best serve?
Just as you are careful about selecting the right online marketing company you work with, I too am careful about selecting the people I work with. In order to achieve breakthrough sales through online marketing, you must be ready, willing, and able to do some of the work along the way. While JimmyMarketing.com does 90% of the work, we still need your cooperation and participation throughout the process.
When people have serious financial concerns, such as little or no money coming in, it’s probably not the best time to work with me. Most often, we find these people more concerned about resolving the immediate issue than doing the required work to create results. If this is the case for you, don’t worry. We have all been in that place and I have some recommendations that can help you.

In addition to those facing a pressing financial situation, I do not work well with people who are negative, skeptical, or resistant to doing the work. They usually come up with excuses week after week for not wanting to shoot videos or not giving feedback on blog articles we have written, and then question why they are not reaching their goals. If you fall into this category, I don’t believe I can help you.
I truly don’t like to turn anyone away; however, I have seen over and over again that the clients who come to me prepared, eager, and ready to learn get the best results.
How quickly does the JimmyMarketing.com system work?
Within the first 30 days all social media, social bookmarking, video, blog, etc., profile creations get created. Additionally, the first round of videos are shot and produced. Typically, it takes 60 to 90 days from this point for the search engines to start indexing the new content. From here, we will continue to create and distribute more content throughout the internet and continue to gain more exposure online.
Do you accept credit cards?
Yes, we accept credits. My first preference is MasterCard or Visa; however, we also accept Discover and American Express.
Will you work with my existing web design company?
Yes, we are more than happy to work with your existing web design company. Often times, web designers do not have the intimate knowledge of search engine optimization and online marketing. JimmyMarketing.com is focused on generating targeted traffic to your website. We can create a punch list of items for your website designer or webmaster to address that will help optimize our external efforts.
