Happy New Year everyone!

I hope you had a safe but fun New Years Eve. As you can see, its been a while since I published my last blog post, but one of my New Years resolutions it to update this blog more often. Since I switched over to this new design, I have gotten incredible feedback from people. Internet Marketers are reading the posts and are using the advice I have given. This is what the goal of this blog is to do, help marketers secure and maintain the merchant processing. Of course, I would like them to use me to do this, but I think by providing honest and useful information that will not be a problem.

First a couple of things:

1. I had been meaning to write a post about my trip last year to Ad Tech. Although I only spent a couple of hours at the show, it was an unbelieveable trip to both meet with new clients, as well as catch up with old friends. I am a big fan of the ad tech shows and I will continue to attend.

2. Affiliate Summit West 2012 – both Patricia and I will be at this show. If you, or anyone you know is looking for merchant processing, lets book a time to meet. We have solutions for almost any industry.

In speaking with some of the largest players in the Internet Marketing industry I am learning more and more that its the merchant accounts that are one of, if not the most important part of any sucessful campaign. CRM, Fullfillment, that stuff is easy (although you need to make sure you work with the best, and I can help make with that). Its the merchant account that you 10000% need to make it work. I know alot of guys that I work with are looking to make big pushes this year, and myself and Patricia Weber Consulting are putting together all the tools to help them with that. We are working on some very interesting new banking solutions Offshore and Domestic (offshore – Latvia, Bulgaria, and others), as well as some technology that will help merchant manage their accounts.

I am going to be putting together two posts in the next day or so that I hope you will find helpful. One is going to be my predictions for 2012 based on the feedback I have received from banks and merchants. The second is going to be an overview of our consulting services. Its something that a few large merchants have been using as for because they do not want to deal with the headache of securing merchant accounts – thats what we do best.

So Happy New Years everyone and talk soon!
