I'm here to give you that insider information, and it won't cost you anything but the time it takes to read it.

Before we start though, I want to be respectful of your time and let you know up front whether it's worth it for you to keep reading. You will find this site useful if you:

• Own or run a small business and want to establish an online presence
• Work in sales or marketing and need to tap into the near infinite online market
• Are interested in opening your own business with an online presence
• Are interested in learning some 21st century economic survival skills

If none of these describe you, then you've probably already clicked the Back button on your browser. If you're still here, then welcome to my site on internet marketing for the small business owner. When I say small business owner, I include sales professionals in that definition because when it comes to marketing, we're essentially the same.

Who am I? My name is Jeffrey Rupe and I'm a small business owner, entrepreneur, online marketing professional, and I even have a background in teaching, so you're in good hands! If you want to know more about me, be sure to check out my bio by clicking the About Us link.

Why did I create this site? Good question, why would someone give away such valuable information as internet marketing that can literally make or break a business online? Wouldn't that be like helping the competition?

I don't believe so. I believe that small businesses are the lifeblood of America's economy and this little site is my way of helping other brave entrepreneurs compete against the giants that routinely crush the American Dream in the name of profit and share prices. Consider this my effort to stimulate the economy and help us recover from the "Great Recession."

Ok, I'll get off my soap box now and I promise you that from here on out I'll focus solely on e-commerce, online marketing, proper web design, copy writing, all of the sweet information you came here for.

Though I make no promises about my e-zine. There's a lot of great information there about marketing, business, and the economy. But I named it The Soap Box, so you know all bets are off when it comes to me ranting. It's all in good fun though. Sign up here for the e-zine.

If you like the information I'm sharing here on the site, be sure to sign up for my site blog using the RSS button to the left. That'll keep you up to date on changes and additions to the site.

Finally, if you're able to use any of this, please pass it on to other business owners you know so that we can all benefit from the mostly untapped potential of the digital marketplace. The buttons for the various social networking sites at the foot of this page will make this quick and painless for you. Thank you.
