I did not set out to be the \u201call around good guy\u201d, but that\u2019s how it turned out.\"Jeffery\"<\/p>\n

I got started doing business on the internet pre-2002 (I forgets the exact year) doing primarily drop-shipping on eBay and I did okay with it. Eventually I got out of that and went into internet marketing and blogging starting with a site called Blog Like A Celebrity. Then I did a series of blog posts that showed you step-by-step, how to set up your own WordPress Blog and forum from scratch.<\/p>\n

I then took those blog posts and compiled them into an eBook with some additional content and turned it into a video course.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve done most aspects of internet marketing: blogging, videos, PPC, advertising, article writing, etc.<\/p>\n

Over the years I have had several websites and my internet marketing blog has moved around a lot on top of that.<\/p>\n

So keep in mind this goes back almost 20 years.<\/p>\n

WOW!! I'm getting old… but I digress.<\/p>\n

At first, I had bloglikeacelebrity.com because there used to be a product called Celebrity Blogging and I created the website to both promote it and to have a blog to write about blogging.<\/p>\n

Then that became startingablog.org because “starting a blog” was (and still is I think) a popular search and it's very descriptive of what I did, namely helping people get their own blogs up and going. The .com wasn't available but the .org was.<\/p>\n

Eventually, I started doing more affiliate stuff and started a business named Sweaty Shop (it's a play on words for “sweatshop”) and I moved everything to \u00a0sweatyshop.com. And also because .org really is meant for organizations, often non-profit ones at that.<\/p>\n

Then I wanted something that was more reflective of what I did and I did a lot of subcontracting work on the technical side of websites, I also gave a lot of marketing advice so I moved everything to jeffwoodconsulting.com.<\/p>\n

Eventually, I went on hiatus and suspended everything.<\/p>\n

When I started back up, I put everything back under sweatyshop.com.<\/p>\n

After some time had passed, I finally had to face the fact that \u201cSweaty Shop\u201d, clever though it was (to me), was not very descriptive and just caused confusion.<\/p>\n

So I kept Sweaty Shop for my business name but I once again renamed my blog to its current form, jeffwoodonline.com.<\/p>\n

I've set up countless blogs and websites for both myself and others. I've also helped people learn how to use their blogs, install security packages, and keep blogs up-to-date with the latest versions of their blogs and related software.<\/p>\n

I frequently act in the roles of an internet marketer, virtual assistant, sub-contractor, coach, consultant, and\u2026. the list goes on<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
