Welcome to 145West.com!
I’d better tell you a bit about myself. My name is Greg Johnson, the guy who created this blog. I simply wanted share a bunch of videos that I found useful with people who want to learn more about starting and growing an online presence. There’s really no more to say. 🙂
Okay, so here goes the big “but”…
Alright, so before we continue, I really wanna confess to something. To be honest, my own selfish needs are really what prompted me to create this site. See, I’m sort of addicted to videos (like the “Learn How to Rank in Google Maps” presentation you just enjoyed), and I honestly just wanted somewhere I could share all of my favorites under one roof.
I do enjoy the sponsorship revenues I earn as I share these informative videos with you. I hope, you’re okay with that.
I just wanted to disclose the fact that yes, I do make money from this site. But please hear me loud and clear… Any possible monetary benefit is incidental, and I’m not here to sell you anything.
If you see a product or service on this site that you think will help, that would be an awesome bonus! But if that’s not the case, that’s certainly not a problem with me. Your readership is what I’m really after. 🙂
I just want fellow small business owners like you and me to be able to watch some informative online marketing videos together! 😉
So that’s why 145West exists. It’s just a place where you can access the videos that I’ve curated all under one roof. If that sounds like something you can appreciate, then I’d love to see you again. 😉
So don’t be a stranger! I’m gonna keep sharing cool videos on the subjects of SEO tactics, paid and free traffic, IM products and methods and social media tactics… and on and on!
