Meet Our Interns: Nick Bostic

Nick Bostic (@nbostic) has been an entrepreneur and internet marketer for the majority of his life. He currently works in corporate America helping independent business people be more successful and has been blogging to some degree for close to 8 years.

I started in internet marketing over 10 years ago when my older sister passed along some HTML coding notes from a class she was taking. I cut my teeth trying to market on Compuserve and Prodigy, then moved on to helping my father with his consulting business.

Ever since, I have been trying to establish a successful online business.  I currently work in the real estate industry, but help artists and alternative medicine practitioners with their marketing efforts.
My core strength is the ability to see the larger picture of a marketing campaign while fully understanding the nuts and bolts required to implement it.  Working with industries that have been slower to adopt internet tools has forced me to learn how to integrate new marketing tools with more traditional methods.  Expect to hear about using social networks like Twitter and Facebook in conjunction with business blogs and email marketing to build successful offline business relationships.

I am hoping to gain the additional knowledge to be able to help even more small business owners understand the needs and ways to be more efficient with internet marketing.  I believe this internship will allow me to reach this goal because I will be working closely with people who are running very successful online home-based businesses while still being able to enjoy life and their families.  I also secretly hope to network with people who are more technically-inclined than myself so I can learn how to optimize all of these online tools even more.

I love to connect with people on Twitter (@nbostic) or via BlackBerry Messenger (249e0101).
