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 arfticle request and have a pretty acceptable 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!

Trip to CT-- Branchville School visit Part I

This should be a very interesting post because originally I was going to write about my trip to Connecticut after it happened but since my writing is part of my presentation, I was asked by the people who invited me to write something of a preview prior to going up there so I could show the kids some of my writing. It all started with an e-mail from Tim Stentiford, a license plate collector friend and editor of the famed PLATES Magazine explaining how Kurt, his son, was having what they call a "Diversity Day" at his school. Kurt suggested I come up to speak and when Tim presented this idea to the rest of the planning committee, they loved it. Talk about your ego booster, this is right up my alley. I have spoken about myself at various venues before, even on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC My mom kept saying I had to prepare but I didn't know how. I have been bouncing a few ideas off my mom and am getting my thoughts together. I decided instead of typing them just in W

Trip to CT-- Branchville School visit Part III

People tell me not to dwell or harp so three entries about the visit to the Branchville Elementary School might be pushing it. However the closer I get to going up there, the more I have the urge to write about it! Call it a way of comprehending what is going to happen. I have told everyone I know about this trip which makes it seem like I am going up there for more than a day. Although the is the same reaction when I went do to Washington DC on my own, to visit Jane in Tennessee or even the license plate convention in Alabama two years ago. These kids are definitely going to bring back to a time with mixed feelings. I mean the kids I'll be speaking to are same age when things starting getting real tough. It was the perfect storm back then. My body was getting worse, and the more I tried to hide it, the more evident it became. I never wrote this before but since I could remember I) was made to wear a helmet while walking around the halls. I fought this hard and finally in fourth g

Mom Poem

Allow me to share a few thoughts about a special lady named Mary She was well known for remaining calm even when things got scary Being the oldest of five children she was like a mom before becoming a wife While she was peaceful, she fought hard when needed to make things right When Peter walked into the Howard Johhsons he knew he met his match Mom was so creative she made our Halloween coustumes from scratch A glass of wine in her hand sitting with her honey admiring their yard An amazing woman who knew raising three boys was a joy and at times hard Her heart was so big, during her life she had three dogs Tyson, Rufus and Goober Mom's laugh was so unique and easily triggered by the most minor blooper She was the happiest woman when she became grandmom to Zander and Quinn Grandmom was their loudest cheerleader when they scored a goal for the win Known for thinking outside the box, more like cutting it with a sharp knife This is how Mom known as Mary to others, lived every day of he
