Andrew Stephens’s Summary

Andrew is a Cincinnati, Ohio native with a lifelong commitment to Dale Carnegie’s respected approach to networking and social kindness, having a background in direct and outside sales; working with Fortune 500 companies such as Amway Global, ADT Home Security, and Pre-Paid Legal early in his professional career.

At the age of 18, Andrew felt compelled to attend a Christian College to seek out his degree in Theological Studies concentrating on Western Religious Philosophy. He attended Ozark Christian Academy (formerly American Bible Academy) in Joplin, Missouri for the next 2 and ½ years and eventually became frustrated in his progress and removed himself from the college to pay closer attention to his career objectives in Marketing and Advertising concentrating on Online Social and Neuro-Marketing.

At the age of 24, Andrew was presented with a great opportunity to help his uncle develop a small lawn care company into a business that would support their two growing families. He outlined a business and marketing plan without any start-up capital and executed his plan with no outside support. Within months, Andrew was engulfed in the world of Search Engine Marketing and Online Conversion Techniques and spent every waking hour studying internet languages, search engine algorithms, and various other tactics that were known to produce the highest return online.

Andrew has since focused his attention to his true passion for web design and online marketing, opening AJS Promotional Media in early 2008 with a collaboration of websites earning residual incomes and producing some of Cincinnati’s most creative HTML designs for his client-base of small to mid-sized merchants and service providers. His focus on SEO optimization brings and advantage point to each of his customers with websites that score highly in the organic search results and are easily maintained and updated.

AJS Promotional Media aka AJSPM is a start-up venture with the ultimate goal of introducing a novice-friendly Website Builder with Online Promotion Tools.

To date, successful online promotions require accounts on multiple websites and directories, a lot of content-production time, and a strong PPC campaign. Most small business owners are so busy running their business that they cannot do these things themselves, so they spend thousands of dollars a month in various tools and services to accomplish these goals or they simply ignore the need out of sheer frustrations.

Our goal is to eliminate 90% of the time it takes to run a successful online campaign with innovative tools that allow, even the most novice user, the ability to produce cost-effective websites with advanced features and promote them through organic (non-paid) promotional efforts.

We also administer several online resources, directories, forums, and eCommerce websites that cater to the small or local business owner.
