 Hi Everyone!

This is Nida. I am an online Marketing and Communication Manager at Incepio. 

At Incepio, we have started new online marketing strategy and have set up social network pages on facebook, linkedin, twitter and youtube. 

I am a beginner in online marketing field, i have a craze for blogging and social media. I found Hubspot a perfect place for all the beginners in blogging and inbound marketing. 

I have started the training sessions setup by Inbound Marketing University. Today, i just took my first class, i need to know where should we submit our assignment? 

Can anyone help me in letting me know this?

Thanks.

    I'm Tisha and glad there's a forum where I can learn what works and what doesn't. So much experience here and I look forward to getting to know some of you very well.    I'm still taking Inbound Marketing classes through IMU and just when I thought "Yep, I knew that", I learn from one of the professors added information I didn't know previously. So now as I progress through my training, my thoughts have been, "Wow. They didn't teach me that from my last training." So yes, the training is very refreshing and I'm excited to see what kinds of results I will get by appropriately applying the strategies I learn from IMU.    I do have a question if anyone might like to offer their thoughts:    Would you happen to know a job "title" that encompasses all the nuances of the "inbound marketing" activities combined w/search engine optimization & search marketing? (I'm trying to figure out a title for these skills and experiences.)   Looking forward to active forum participation (on my part), and if you like to connect/network with me directly, I can be found at/on:http://www.twitter.com/tmsilvers , http://www.facebook.com/tmsilvers , and http://www.linkedin.com/in/tmsilvers  

Hi there!

I think I'm a little late for the February test, but was wondering when the next scheduled certification class will be offered?

Thanks and good luck to all!

Hi!  I'm a newbie, too.

I'm Alexis and I work as something of a "girl friday" for a small manufacturer of children's products.  It's niche- seriously.  A few weeks ago I downloaded all the classes and slides and I love listening to them.  IMU (Rebecca?) really organized an intelligent group of people to teach and it helps all of us novices tremendously.

We (the company I work for) started on the social media train in September and have been trying our best to grow it.  We were coming into a floundering stage when I found these classes.  I've already implemented some of what I've learned, with more to come.

Thank you for setting this up!  Really!

-Alexis

Hi everybody,

So nice to meat you all, here at the Inbound Marketing University! Over the past decade I have been at the crossroads of marketing, communications, PR (2.0) and journalism. I have always been inspired by 'what's in it for the receiver'. No wonder I love the IMU Classes so much! Would love to hear from you classmates!  

Kind regards from The Netherlands!

My name is Stephanie M. Davis and I am getting my feet wet in the specifics of Inbound Marketing principles and practices. I have heavy expertise and experience in the Content Creation and Publishing elements (blogging, podcasting,internet radio,Twitter, LinkedIn,writing and reporting.) I am looking to get my foot in the door and apply these skills, share them with others and strengthen my weaker areas (Analytics, ROI measurement tools,etc). I can speak first hand on the inherent weaknessess of traditional outbound marketing approaches (Financial Services). I plan to take the next IMU exam when it is offered in 2010. I am most interested in job/consulting offers. You can visit me at http://www.linkedin.com/in/stephaniemargodavis. This is a wonderful forum.

My name is Phil Richards , currently I have just started on my first project with HubSpot for my current "employer" an accountancy firm - I am going to e freelance from January 2010 and will be aiming to advise small business aout their Inbound Marketing Strategy.

I live in Malta and work for Uk clients currently.

I have been arround on the internet since about 94 and have "grown up" in business with it sonce then. I am passionate about marketing and all of the social media wave that has been developing over the last few years. Hence the move away from an accountancy firm to being freelance, and doing what I really love, helping people use the available tools effectively for their business.

Hello All,

My name is Bee, I have been working for an email marketing company for three years and many of their  practices are not web 2.0. I have been part of the social media scene for awhile indirectly-always the bridesmaid never the bride! Well it's time for me to jump into the social media forum for myself. I have many ideas and have seen many branding/marketing faux pas to fill a book!

I am like many of you developing content for my website. I know that content is king from a blog to a website to a facebook fan page and am looking forward to interacting with a group of like minded folks.

I specialize in training without all that techie speak. I have worked with all kinds of students including special needs, GED, ESL and now technically challenged-lol :)

PS Good Luck to all the IMU exam takers on August 13!

Thanks Rick.

My name is Daniel Gaustad.  I am a chiropractor in Minneapolis, MN using Inbound Marketing and referrals as my main new patient sources.  I've been following HubSpot since opening my clinic doors, and my practice website is constantly being fine-tuned with the help of their Website Grader tool.  As the sole employee of my business, I am responsible for all aspects, including marketing and web design.  Inbound Marketing allows me to keep my marketing and advertising costs extremely low.  I'm attracting people that are looking for my services and not wasting time or resources on people that are not. 

Thank you so much to all the presenters for sharing your valuable knowledge.  This has been a great experience for me!

 It's a little late now that the class has finished, but I will Introduce myself anyway.

My name is Jeff Louis. I am currently a laid-off advertising professional with the majority of my agency tenure being spent as a Strategic Media Planner. I also have experience in brand planning (setting up what a brand "stands for," brand tenets, standardization, and adherence to tenets and standardization in all aspects of a business, from pens, pencils and giveaways to white papers, and websites). My other skills include new business account coordination, project management, and relationship-building.

Fairly new to Social Media and Inbound Marketing, I have set up two personal blogs and write as a "professional" for two others that are run by TalentZoo:

www.beyondmadisonavenue.com

www.digitalpivot.com

Writing is my favorite hobby/work, and I would like to publish a book at some point. Just trying to figure out how to get there.

All my best,

Jeff

Hello all- Up to this point I had not participated in any of the forums and quickly decided this was the best place to start.

I am a 15 year veteran of the newspaper advertising business, which I left just before the nosedive began, to run an automotive advertising agency, which I left just before the auto industry's nosedive, and now I am happily learning all about inbound marketing for The Stone Agency. (I see no nose diving headed towards it so I am exicited!) I truly appreciated David Meerman Scott's comment that we have to unlearn what we have learned about marketing - that is what I am doing here - unlearning! 

What about you?

Hey y'all!

Since it seems polite to say hi, here I am.  It's nice to meet everyone and I'm super excited about this opportunity to gain additional knowledge on using the web world for business. 

So a little about me and my company.  I work for a local & family owned business called Mercer Carpet One Floor and Home with locations in Westminster, Eldersburg, & Ellicott City in Maryland, USA.  Mercer Carpet One recently reached their 50th Anniversary and have recently become a 'third generation' family owned business.  I started in December right after graduating from college and my responsibilities cover a wide range under non-traditional marketing such as everything web related, networking, events, and customer service.

If you would like more information about me, you are more than welcome to find me on LinkedIn and Facebook using the links below.

Thanks HubSpot for sponsoring this week’s online marketing university. I feel like I have gathered a literal library of new knowledge which I can refer to in the future. A little about my background, most recently I was an Internet Product Manager for a startup software company in Cambridge (they had a huge RIF in Jan 09).

I am repositioning myself to look for new opportunities in the web content, search and social media space. Earlier in my career, I did web design for a major financial services firm, account management for a SEO co. and paid search activities for the startup in Cambridge. 

I am in the market for any contract or permanent opportunities

My name is Tara Shadowen and I'm the manager of a wholesale travel map distributor that also has a small B2C venture, http://www.MapsGoneTomorrow.com/

I have a (mostly) print publishing background, and we distribute solely printed maps, so I am uber-pleased to learn how to promote my beloved retro navigational technology with social media marketing. 

Yes, printed maps still exist and in many cases, you will not find more accurate mapping in electronic format.  I know that's heresy.  And while I'm at it, I'll just mention that Google Earth is not a live snapshot of our planet.  :-)

Thanks, IMU, for bringing all this instruction together for us.  The university is a GREAT example of what you're teaching traditional marketers to do.

My name is LaTosha Johnson and I am President of TargetStars, Inc. We are a consulting firm that specializes in providing  marketing, market research, and virtual assistant services for small companies and solopreneurs.

At TargetStars, Inc., I am personally involved in a lot of the day to day operations and making sure the company is operating efficiently.  In addition to making sure that our clients are happy with the services we provide, I do a lot of blogging on behalf of the company and am responsibile for creating the content and design for our free small business newsletter (TargetStars Small Business Newsletter).

I am very excited and grateful that HubSpot has offered these classes. I have learned a lot and will definitely be  implementing these techniques into our business!

Greetings too all! My name is Mend-Orshikh Amartaivan (Mendy). I am Mongolian and prospective MBA student for UMass Boston. I am really enthusiastic about social media and networks. I really appreciate what IMU does and I really want to wish to all of HUBSPOT`s crew all the BEST. All in all, let`s make our world a better place.

I thought that I'd better introduce myself since I came up with the idea !!!

With my husband, I create Wonderword, a word search puzzle that is printed in 250 newspaper worldwide.

With the current economic crisis, newspaper sales went down.

Knowing that the reduction of sales in newspaper is likely to be a trend, we have decided to grow our presence online.

Since I have an interest in social media, I decided to learn as much as possible about online marketing, rather  than leave all that potential transition to a third party...

Hi all,  my name is Barbara Koch and I am a Channel Marketing Manager at Cisco.  I am very interested in all new marketing techniques and trends - so this online university has been great. I am enjoying the information and creativity.  You can also find me on Twitter @barbikoch.  :-)
