Donnette Davis’s Summary
Administration is probably my strongest asset, and passion my driving force! Prior to going into the legal field I was in property acquisition & development, involving a multi-million rand Parent Company with 70 companies under its umbrella. Self-taught accountancy, human & public relations & marketing within that sphere have held me in good stead with my changeover in careers. I have always been self-employed and so have had to learn the ropes from scratch and develop my own workable systems. From that it was a natural progression into developing systems or "trouble-shooting" for independent organisations who needed "rearranging".
Currently I maintain and host my own websites and blogs, providing marketing services and publicity for a few authors or webmasters whose works are really exceptional. I also author and publish educational books and shall soon be embarking on an exciting partnership with a large Marketing Company in the USA to train their authors in self-publicity. This has not yet been finalised but hopefully will commence within the very near future.
I am a single parent first and foremost. My goals and ambitions are simply to be the best I can at all I do and to give back where and as often as I can.

Owner
Donnette Davis On Lulu
(Privately Held; Publishing industry)
April 2006 — Present (3 years 11 months)
Lulu is where my material was first self-published and although I am with a number of other publishers I continue to make use of their self-publishing facilities which are exceptional. I provide free educational material through various other independent websites in addition to this.

Owner
St Aiden's Homeschool
(E-Learning industry)
January 2006 — Present (4 years 2 months)
This started off primarily as an educational website providing free teacher/learner resources for homeschooling families. The site has grown to include adult education, health, careers, college information, African Studies, WAHM and full free curriculum links and resources on almost any subject. I have recently acquired another website focused on Early Childhood Development which has become a focus area of mine.

Social Media & Marketing Specialist
Global Book Agency / Strategic Book Publishing
(Publishing industry)
January 2009 — December 2009 (1 year )
My focus here is to work with Authors and Artists who do not have time or energy *smile* to set up social profiles and market themselves or their product. I will set my clients up on any number of relevant Social Media and Business Networking Sites and connect them with like-minded individuals, goups, and interlink all sites. I will undertake SMM coaching and training if required, or merely just recommend and set up basic profiles on any requested or recommended number of SM sites, between 10 and 100 :)
Very hands-on position. My success with my client and his or her SM profiles and marketing is dependent on my close interaction with them. So far so good :) -
Owner
Child Development Spot
(Education Management industry)
November 2008 — January 2009 (3 months)
This is a site I recently acquired after commissioning a top internet name to format and set the site up. Although it is optimised and sees a fair amount of traffic the site has been developed in such a way as to enable me to expand further as I research on Early Childhood Development. This is an exciting project that also forms the basis of some of the more recent books I have published.
