Erik Folgate’s Summary

My Goal is to further my career in interactive and social media marketing. I am currently working with E-Z Rent-A-Car and RezHub.com to improve their web presence and social community presence on the web. I specialize in starting and maintaining Twitter and Facebook pages, search engine optimization, content development and management, keyword research, analyzing web analytics, and company branding through social media portals.

My professional experience ranges from a variety of freelance and corporate work. I developed a personal finance blog from scratch (www.moneycrashers.com) and took it from 0 visitors per day to over 1,000 visitors per day. I also do freelance content development and writing for Money Smart Life (www.moneysmartlife.com) and EveryDay Christian (www.everydaychristian.com). I have worked with numerous clients on a contract basis to improve their Facebook fan pages and optimize their blogs.
