What am I working on these days?
Sharefaith
I'm a freelance writer and the marketing guy at Sharefaith, an online resource of visual media for Churches, Ministries and anyone who needs Christian images, clipart, PowerPoint Sermon templates, worship arts backgrounds and a host of other visual media. I'm helping them with Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and also an overall marketing plan for growing the business. It's a really cool business with some awesome people to work with. You should check it out.
FILLERUP Marketing Communication
I'm just beginning to work with Beth Fillerup and Jamie Padilla at FILLERUP Marketing Communication to help local businesses to "Get The Word Out" about their products and services. I'll focus on technology, social media and hopefully be able to help some small businesses with my experience in direct marketing, outsourcing and operations.
SLO Green Build
I'm volunteering new media services to help SLO Green Build reach a broader audience. SLO Green Build is a non-profit organization that is focused on helping the community understand and implement Green Building practices in San Luis Obispo county. I'm really enjoying working with these folks and helping them understand some of the best practices in social networking and website optimization.
SLO Grown Organics
My Daughter Lara and her husband Darin are Organic Farmers on the Central Coast. They sell produce at the Farmer's Market in Arroyo Grande on Saturdays from noon to 2:30pm. I 'm helping with their website and branding mostly, but every once in a while get to work on the farm also. Darin has helped me a lot in my own suburban gardening effort - he really knows his stuff. I'm looking forward to seeing their farm grow!
Mediterranean Harvest For Life / Global Institute for Transformation
These two businesses are getting off the ground in the nutrition and non-profit sectors. I've been working with them as a board member and marketing/new media consultant for about 6 months or so. Tim Mauer and Tom Hiller are the principles and are great guys to be associated with. We're hoping to get some product in the marketplace before long in the nutrition business and to grow the ministry non-profit substantially over the next couple of years. They also have a unique children's brand called "Sheep and Goat" that teaches children to help "the least of these" rather than focus on their own wants and desires.
Aging Vines
Still helping the start-up, Aging Vines with new media and technology mostly, though I also advise on the general business also. Aging Vines is a sales and marketing company in San Luis Obispo County that helps boutique wineries get into new markets. This is a growing business that we hope will be a great help to small wineries in this region.
Twitter For Food
This is my own effort to put into action my knowledge in social media to benefit "the least of these" by having people skip a meal and use the savings to fund hunger relief. The first #twitterforfood event on the social networking site, Twitter, was June 1, 2009 and was a great success by getting thousands of people to focus on world hunger. My plan is to host a Twitter For Food event the 1st of every month and grow the event into the millions. I've already made some great friend surrounding this event and look forward to meeting many more.
The Life Simple
I'm still working on creating a book franchise that revolves around contentment and simplicity. The brand, The Life Simple, resonates with so many people these days, especially in this economy and the wake up call all of us have gotten financially that we are headed in the wrong direction. The message "enough is enough" will help so many who are struggling with life in the status quo. This also resonates with helping "the least of these" and also living sustainably which are themes in other projects I'm working on, so it's all grist for the mill.
As you can see, I have no shortage of things to work on, but I am aggressively looking to bring on clients I can help with new media marketing, SEO and basic business operations. I believe I can help any small business in just about any industry reach their goals.
Give me a call at: 805-748-1333 or email me at tblair@enklings.com is you have any questions.
Simply,
Tim
