From the Desk of Vernita Sherman...

Dear Business Owner,

As a 7 year internet marketing veteran in Atlanta, GA I have been through it all, and have learned from some of the most well respected internet marketing and online branding experts in the industry.  I have been a network marketer, affiliate marketer, and online information marketer who has successfully promoted products and services online in various industries. 

When I first started my internet businesses I did not have enough money to have websites created for me so I had to learn how to create my own sites. I spent thousands of dollars and many hours learning internet marketing techniques and web design strategies.  I have implemented a long list of internet marketing strategies for my own business ventures, so I know what works and what doesn't work from years of trial and error.

Because I have been "living" in the internet marketing world for over 7 years, I have experience in all forms of internet marketing and I have developed skills that are very beneficial to business owners in Atlanta and all over the country.  If I had someone to help me in the beginning, my internet marketing journey would have been a much smoother ride; however, I am thankful for the hard times because I am able to help clients avoid wasting money on strategies that are not effective.  As the years went by, my web designing, copywriting, and marketing skills improved and I started teaching others how to promote their business online. 

What I started to find was that most small business owners do not have the time to learn how to do the marketing themselves so they seek out people who are able to do the work for them.  Because of their lack of internet marketing education, most business owners think that a web designer can provide them with all of their website marketing needs.  Most business owners are not familiar with the terms "internet marketing", "search engine optimization" or "website optimization".  Unfortunately, most web designers are not familiar with those terms either; therefore, they do not know how to optimize a website properly for the search engines. Without proper website optimization, your website will not be found in Google.  What's the point of having a website if no one can find it? Also, there is more to internet marketing than having your website found.  You want to have a complete online presence where your target market can find you in many places online.

I created Virtual Marketing Media to educate local business owners and provide them with the internet marketing services needed to get their business found online.  Recently I have made the decision to be an internet marketing coach to home based business entrepreneurs.  I have tried to be a coach and run my internet marketing service business, but the work load has become too overwhelming for me to continue.

As of May 1, 2010 Virtual Marketing Media will no longer be an internet marketing service provider.  Who knows what the future holds, but as for now I am focused on my www.vernitasherman.com project.  If you have a local small business and you need an optimized website, visit www.cpvweb.com. 

If you need extensive SEO services for your website and online presence, contact me at 404-323-4506 and I will get you in touch with one of my business partners who is the Director of Internet Marketing for a strategic SEO company.
