One year ago I was working at Ford Motor company IT and my boss came to my desk and told me that my last day would be at the end of the year. I was a programmer and content management expert and it was the end of my tenth year working at Ford. Ford, like many companies in the area where I live, South of Detroit, Michigan – had been cutting back for several years. You’ve probably seen in the news the state of the auto industry in the US. What you may not know is that it’s not just factory workers they’re letting go, it’s engineers, programmers, project managers, server admins, database experts, and web designers as well. What this means for me is that in my market there are 15-20,000+ technical people out of work that can do what I do. Recruiters I have met with tell me of potential candidates for have doctorate degrees in computer science willing to work for $30-40,000/yr just to have a job.

Luckily for me, during the 10 years I worked in the corporate environment, I had a passion for learning about blogging and making money online. I probably spend as many hours at night working on web sites as I did my day job, and worked full time on the weekends for myself. I became an expert in WordPress themes and plugins, and learned SEO and social marketing from the ground up. My personal web sites had always been for me, a hobby, a sideline, and it was never important if the money came in or not because I had a regular paycheck and benefits. I did make money each and every month, but sometimes it was $1,600/mo and sometimes it was $5,600/mo. I jumped from project to project, idea to idea, I was never very focused – because I didn’t have to be.

Earlier this year when I was first unemployed it still for some reason wasn’t completely apparent what I should do. I guess I somehow still held out hope that there would be a job somewhere for me. When you have had a regular paycheck for 10 years, and you know exactly how much money you’re going to get on what day – you get used to that consistency and security. You depend on it, and without a regular paycheck – you panic, like someone free falling without a parachute. I still jumped from project to project when I was unemployed while both my money and time ran out – literally!

One sunny day I had an idea that I should put my expertise to use online rather than just try “make money online” 150 different ways. I had skills in programming, web design, SEO, project management, marketing – and I used that experience to seek out clients to do freelance work. Within 6 weeks I was doing billable work every day of the week! My clients range from small businesses to corporatations, from dentists and doctors, to affiliate marketers, e-commerce stores, and niche store owners.

In a way – working with clients was the best thing that ever happened to me. It forced me to do for them, what I never could seem to do for myself. On my own working online for fun for many years I was always looking for “the next best thing” to make money. I was like a mexican jumping bean going from one project to the next. I had all the necessary experience to be successful full time on my own – but I never put the pieces of the puzzle all together.

From th 150+ clients I’ve had in the last 8-9 months, what I’ve learned is that they all pretty much had the same end goal no matter what their business. Whether their budget was $500 or $5,000 – the questions were always the same:

“How do we get found more in search engines?”
“What keywords do we use?”
“What is SEO and how do we use it”?
“How do we use social media?”
“How do we increase the ROI on our company web site?”
“How do we find people looking to buy products like ours online?”

The difference between working for a client and working for myself is that client work forces me to focus on their web site and products. No longer could I jump around from thing to thing because I had to get their job done or I wouldn’t get paid. I also found that no matter how big or small the business, I could apply nearly the same exact process and principles for them to be more successful online. I not only developed a pattern for working with clients, I developed specific “Phases” and modules to teach them what I was doing as I went.

At the end of the summer I started to apply the same principles and techniques I used on clients to some of my longstanding personal web sites with outstanding success! I had finally developed a plan for success online that worked! I’m at the point now where I’m ready to employ these successful techniques on 4 new concept sites that will be guaranteed money makers within 6 months of launch. I cannot do this on my own, and while my business is growing rapidly – I’d rather not take on new full time employees just yet.

What I want is people that are HUNGRY! Hungry for knowledge, hungry to learn what it takes to make money online from someone that has that experience! I remember back in high school they had a business club that was called “Junior Achievement”. You paired up with an experienced businessman and brainstormed a new product. It was your job to figure out how to get in manufactured, how much it would cost, what the profit would be, and how to market it. The businessman helped you through the process, and once 100 were made – you went out and sold whatever your product was. At the end of the project you got to keep 25% of the profits and the rest went back to the club.

Internships are usually unpaid, very few actually give you money. You put in your time for the privilege of gaining experience you can use to be successful in the future. What I’m about to offer is the deal of a lifetime. I’m now accepting applications for 4 Online Marketing Internship positions with JTPratt.com.
