Self-expression is a wonderful path to inner discovery. I've recently added 2 new pages of poetry that the universe no longer wished to keep hidden.

I've also begun a series of articles on internet marketing for massage therapists on a budget. The first two volumes are complete and are intended for absolute beginners, covering the basics of what's needed to design a website and get it online as well as content to add to your massage therapy site.

I'm currently working on volume 3, which will be a bit more advanced, discussing fundamentals of search engine optimization (SEO). In less than six months I've watched my site rankings go from #387 to top 5 for certain keywords in Google, so I know the validity of these technqiues. This is my first website and it's taken a great deal of trial, error, research, tweaking and re-tweaking.

The lack of website optimization in other massage therapist's sites has been an inspiration. Now I want to share these not-so-secret secrets so you can create a web presence and get found on the major search engines! A marketing tool is only good if people can see it... and there are web surfers out there looking for your unqiue massage practice! Get found!
