“What kind of buzz?” You might ask. The answer is that ContentAscent.com creates buzz about what you do better than your competition. For the cost of only a little over $100 USD, you will blast fresh, original, Google-centric narrative across the social media of your choice, for example, Facebook, LinkedIn, MySpace, your own blog, or many more possibilities. The success your business earns does not happen by accident but because you provide unique value that your competition does not. Only you can best point out what your competitive strengths are, and only ContentAscent.com can most effectively interpret your features as benefits to the customer. The price 
of about $100 starts with a brainstorming session devoted to capturing your muscle in clear, succinct, plain talk.
With the buzz your content will create on social media or your own web site, you will be leveraging “content marketing,” which is marketing’s next evolutionary step. Old school “interruptive marketing” interrupts whatever a prospect may be viewing, listening to, or reading to force feed a sales pitch. Adopting marketing best practices, your buzz will tactfully inform, engage, educate, and begin to build the crucially valuable relationships between prospects and yourself.

About Me. I am first a writer and then wearer of other hats out of necessity. XHTML, CSS, Photoshop, graphics, and Flash are my secondary strengths. I did the code necessary to customize the template of this site and the Flash of my gallery carousel. Whenever practical to do so, I follow the example of Timothy Ferris, author of “The 4-Hour Workweek,” by outsourcing technical issues. Writing and related disciplines of editing, researching, and customer relations are my core competencies. Spanish, Portuguese, little French, and a little Creole are my passions.
Online Samples. The HVAC entrepreneur and perhaps painter will speak as passionately about what they do as a tortured poet might, given the opportunity. Glamorous, mundane, or in-between, businesses remain in business for many reasons, not the least of which is staying true to and leveraging the uniqueness that sets them apart from their competitors.
