Would you like to learn more about an inexpensive way to promote your product or service?

Do you run a small business that doesn’t have a traditional brick and mortar location?

Do you know about the massive shift taking place in the world of marketing and promotion and how you can benefit from it?

Hi, my name is Stephen Fetters.  I spent over 40 years in banking and mortgage lending. During the last 20 years of my banking career, I was coaching and mentoring Mortgage Loan Officers on how to build a solid stream of loan applications based on personal marketing, networking, and referrals. 

I also spent five years as a Commercial Realtor specializing in helping small and medium sized business owners to find just the right location to buy or lease. 

When I realized that I could use the same marketing principles I taught Loan Officers, coupled with the science and art of Content Marketing,  it inspired me to start this website. 

So if you want to learn how you can use the Internet to reach untold numbers of people genuinely interested in your product or service, this is the place for you.  

Let’s get started!

What Is The Massive Shift In Marketing?


According to a Yankelovich study quoted in the NY Times, the average consumer is bombarded by up to 5000 advertising messages per day.  What happens? They just tune them out.  The implication here is you may be wasting money on traditional advertising.

More and more, companies are turning to internet marketing and publishing their own information for direct access by consumers.  They are reaching more people for less cost than traditional advertising. 

So how do you reach your potential customers?  The same old way sellers of products and services have been doing it for years.  Create a relationship with them by providing information they want. This isn’t new.  Just click here on the  History of Content Marketing  to see how long this has been going on. 

How Do You Profit From This Shift? 


Guess what?  People don’t like to be sold!  But, they do want to be helped.  And, they’d rather talk to people than companies.  Further, people would rather buy from people they know and trust.  You can profit by reaching out to your potential customers, starting today, and giving them high quality information they are interested in…for free.

The Big Idea -  You Can Do a Lot More With a Lot Less.


The good news is this doesn’t cost an arm and a leg.  And, you can reach a lot more people.  People who are actually interested in your product or service!!  Imagine, you no longer have to waste money on scattergun ads just to reach 1 to 5% of an audience.

Here’s The Help You Need


Here is the plain truth.  Your biggest challenge as a business owner is attracting new customers or clients.  The Internet is the largest, cheapest, most underused, resource available to you.

 As a business owner wanting to market on the internet, your biggest problem is understanding what everyone is trying to tell you.  Every industry has its own special language.  The lending industry is one of the worst.  I spent years explaining to people what was in the loan documents they were about to sign.  If you’ve ever applied for a mortgage, you know what I mean. 

The marketing business is just as bad. Most of this stuff is common sense dressed up in a bunch of hyper-technical terms. My goal here is to present information and techniques to you in plain English, along with explanations on ways you can use it. 

The information available to you on this website will give you a huge jump on your competition.  Don’t make the mistake of thinking the big guys have already gone there. Some have, most haven’t.  And, the vast majority of small businesses (that’s 60% of the businesses in the U.S) haven’t got a clue as to how to use this stuff.  So click on the  What is Content Marketing page and start thinking of how you’re going to use internet marketing to improve your sales.
