Tom Guard's Summary
As an expert in the field of Social Media Search Engine Optimization and Internet Marketing, my role is to build and execute strategies for companies seeking to engage their community via the social web utilizing blogs and social media sites.
Building a social network is not about setting up a Myspace page and letting it sit there in hopes of someone finding your business. It's about building and pro-actively engaging people and interacting with people within your social community.
I would like to work with businesses or individuals that want to use social media or search engine optimizaton strategies to expand their brand's awareness. I want to let people know that you are more than a product sitting on a Facebook page with out any compelling content.

I was responsible for raising millions of dollars in revenue for non-profits.
