Internet marketing

I am writing this for all the emails I get wanting me to use their services. This is a blanket disclaimer I will send out anytime I get offers for SEO or any other marketing offers./ This is also a test to see if they really want to help or just looking for money\ I especially am bargeting those companies who write me every few days saying, "We haven't heard back from you". 


 Thankl you for your email... I registered "justinmattes.com" because I had lost another domain years earlier and I thought it would be  a great idea to have a customized email address. The original address did point to this blog for the longest time. T hen I decided to build a website to  display my writing and my license plate collection. I also hosted a few other projects off the website and occasionally used it as an "online storage". My writing especially because I intended to try to sell some of my poetry as well as list some of my articles published online and PDF copies of my printed work.   The webhosting company I used for over 10 years  gradually raised the hosting prices troo much  and as of last September I cut ties. Knowing I still had the domain, I decided to  I used it as a launching point. In hindsight I should have registered a ".org" address so web advertisers don't assume I'm this major company with 500 employees and a multimillion dollar Internet budget. This m,istake will haunt me forever, well so long as I have "justinmattes.com". However I got it now and am not letting it go


If you get a copy of this blog post it means you tried to sell me some kind of webservice. Let  me save you the trouble and say I am not nor ever will be interested in on line marketing. The other thing is my product is only my writing and I have never seen media companies  go to writer's websites to solicit article or any other work!!! I had my writing website up for years and never got an unsolicited request. You might think this is why I need your services, but trust me I can't afford them. Also whenever I ask for samples, all you give me is testimonials which can be easily doctored! 


I al;so from time t o time get unsolicited emals for request to post a guest blog. I don't ghet paid for anything I post on this blog so l\ikewise I can't offer anyone any money to write a guest piece. Also all the opinions are my own..If you want to be helpful please direct people looking for writers to this blog. I am currently accepting article request and have an impeccable  turn around rate.  

A little background about me as a write r. I have been writing for thirty years. I started writing poetry in high school and  upon graduation I did some freelancing while attending programming school. My writing topics vary between my hobbies and politicsl commentary. People have asked me to write biogrphaies and essays for loved ones. I have had my work published all over the Internet even translated into different languages! However I am far from making a living on it.  Until that time comes, if it ever comes, I will not need your services. Thank you  for emailing me and have a good day!

One Contact - Five Lighthouses--W9C

Back in the summer I wrote an entry in here about my Lighthouse phone contact with Bill,N8ET , so now I had to top that with a five lighthouse PSK contact in Wisconsin! I was orginally going to wait until I got the card like my other contacts but I think at this stage of the game you can take my word for it. This contact was with a husband and wife team also known as "Team Cheese"--WI9TC (I love the callsign). Like the contact with Bill, they were in the line of sight of five lighthouses located on the Wisconsin shores of Lake Michigan. As soon as I saw them on the BeaconBot (the e-mail reflector used to notify people of lighthouse activations-) I knew I had to take my best shot. There were tons of stations dying to get a contact. Well after some monitoring of the waterfall and waiting for a break in the QSO's, I dropped my call. Unfortunately I was getting overpowered a lot so I actually wound up waiting for quite awhile. Although I have to admit it was also fun just ...

Bob Dylan blows into town

Image
       For a few months there has buzz around Cape May NJ that Bob Dylan was coming to America's Oldest Seaside Resort. No he wasn't playing a concert at Convention Hall. For most of this weeks parts of 2024 Cape May,NJ was transformed into 1965 Newport, RI. A Complete Unknown is a new film about Dylan's conversion from acoustic  to electric guitar starring Timothee Chalamet as Bob Dylan is in production and the location scouting team decided that  Cape May today looked like Newport back in '65. Bob Dylan debuted  his hit song Like a Rolling Stone   at t he Newport Folk Festival. They even transformed Perry Street  into Belevedere Avenue. Shops along the Washington Mall were temporarily renamed to match shops up in Newport.  The Victorian Motel was baptized then Viking Motel for the film  Days prior I started seeing filming equipment  being transported into town.       Like most o f the town I was hopi...

Remembering Grandma in Florida

My dad and I are in Florida for the month of March because the wnters in Cape May are horrible. I also can't stand dad complaining about the wind up there 24/7. So a few years ago my mom started looking at places to rent or even eventuall buy. We were down here during the very beginning of COVID so while we flew down, we drove back. Later it was  determined we would drive down, something my father always wanted to do. So this year my father was determined so with a lot of planning (not really) he mapped out a three  day road  trip fro, Cape May down to West Palm Beach. We took the ferry .over to Delaware and proceeded down to an overnight in North Carolina and another somewhere in Georgia. I managed to pick up seven new counties in Georgia and North Carolina. No bad if you ask me By now you're wondering what this has to do with my Grandma. Well when my grandparent got older they bought a house in Naples, Florida.   They beccame snow birds, just like most people ...
