Hi! I’m Giselle Aguiar, the AZ Social Media Wiz, and I’ve been doing Internet marketing since 1995. Actually, I started in retailing in the 70s. However, I was bored waiting at the store for customers to walk in. I wanted to figure out how to get them into the store. That’s marketing. (See my video interviews below.)
In the early 90s, when PCs first came out, I was blessed to have a boss who was willing to just let me play with the graphics program, Corel Draw!, and I discovered that what I could not do freehand, I could do on the computer — graphic design. I was able to manifest the creative ideas in my mind onto the computer screen.
When the Internet and the World Wide Web emerged, I thought, ‘I can do that!’ And learned website design, HTML, and SEO. My web design business in Miami, Creative Eye Marketing, was founded in 1995.
Check out my article on the History of the Internet.
Fast Forward to 2011
I saw that many people didn’t understand Social Media or how to promote their businesses with it. It’s déjà vu for me. Now I’m holding seminars teaching business owners, “What is Social Media, where it’s going and why your company needs to be on it,” and I’m specializing in just Social Media business page setups, strategic planning, and training people.
What’s different is that back in the 90, you needed to know HTML coding, have the right web creation software, and really know what you were doing. Not so today. WordPress has made website creation and management so easy that anyone can do it. Sure, you need to learn how to use it (I can teach you), but for a simple website, you don’t have to have a “webmaster” in-house or on retainer when you want to update or change something on your site.
And the Social Media marketing tools are free and easy to use. You just have to learn how to properly and effectively use them, and once you learn and start doing it, it becomes second nature to you, and it will take less time.
My Mission:
To help small business owners who are struggling with how to effectively market their businesses online.
I can teach you how to blog on WordPress.
What I’ve learned from conducting live classes since starting my company is that you, the small business owner, know your business best. You are not a professional marketer, a salesperson, or an accountant. You know YOUR business. But to be successful in business — no matter how large or small — you either have to learn how to do marketing, sales, and accounting, or hire someone to do it for you. Either way, you have to invest some time and money to find what works best for you and your business.
So you’re not “tech-savvy”!
That doesn’t matter. I can teach anyone willing to learn. It may take some folks longer than others. However, it is possible.
If you want to stay in the game – participate.
If you want to win the game – dominate.
No more excuses! Let’s start with a FREE 15-minute Zoom Strategy Session to discuss YOUR business’ specific marketing needs. Click here to schedule…
