I am the founder of the “Start Dominating” brand. I registered this startdominating.com website in 2016. The name just sounded awesome to me… all I would have to do is convince potential visitors that the site has nothing to do with being tied up 🙂

How about this for a slogan “Get untied from your day job!” 😉

Born and raised on Long Island, New York, I moved to Florida a few decades ago. Nowadays, I am still a pizza addict, searching for the “best NY pizza near me”… Once in a while, another good one pops up, some dudes with Northern accents!

Ok, back to work… I’m an SEO expert with experience in ranking local businesses to the top 3 Google search results… my mentors and I have collectively ranked over 10k websites.

The Start Dominating Brand has transitioned from a site focused on helping local business owners rank high on the first page of Google and other search engines, to a site focused on helping people quit the 9 to 5 gig and showing them how to rake in piles of Internet money.

Soon, I’m going to have so much crazy useful content to help all of you to get up and running and generate your own cash cow!

The thing that blows my mind right now is this… I know how to rank local businesses, but in 2022 I learned how to rank NATIONALLY, anything I want, to the first page of Google! I’m going to offer you all some of that candy!

Be patient as we build out this website, have a lot to do!

Over a few decades of experience, I’ve spent most of my professional life in the fields of Finance, Technology, and Marketing. I soaked up a lot of life experiences that help me today.

I’m a crypto freak too. Been messing around with Bitcoin since it was $25… and NO, I spent them all… hehe!

However, I’m one of the original developers of the Telos blockchain, symbol $TLOS. No matter what other blockchains “claim” they can do, Telos is the fastest and most decentralized blockchain on the planet. Yep, I cashed all that $TLOS in too! Crypto may be dead for a while.

Back, many moons before crypto, I was a pit trader on the floor of the New York Futures Exchange. You can’t get more testosterone into one room than in a commodity trading pit. Everyone was a “Type-A” personality, and huge egos were everywhere.

The rumbles were exciting! Once in a while, we had to save someone’s ass from breaking when they came flying backward in our direction. Rarely did they get thrown all the way out of the ring, haha! Good times!

Although I have some great life stories I could jam in here, like the day I and a handful of other traders called the White House and told President Reagan that the NYFE Index Futures went “no bid” and to shut the markets NOW or equities are going to ZERO!

The Gipper was on national TV within 5 minutes shutting all markets for the first time in history! Ahh, yep… another day for that story!

Nowadays, I got away from the Local Business Ranking Scene a few years ago. A lot of money was there, I just wasn’t into it. I never liked the idea of getting tied down with clients and answering to anybody. Is that just me?

But I’ve learned all the “White Hat” ranking techniques that work and aren’t subject to penalties of Google Algorithm Changes.

So today, I’m firing up the Start Dominating website again. Everything is falling into place,

I want to help beginner marketers find a niche in a systematic way. Until we get up and running, we will try to help you stick to the basics…

• Stay focused on what matters
• Find a niche
• Build a website
• Become a marketing guru
• Make Money
• Help others

Shortly, I’ll be collaborating with other bloggers to build links. I hope you all have mercy on me as I work on getting initial links with our low DR. I’ve got the plan. If you don’t want me now, I won’t want you later… Let’s crank this up!

Everyone else, start digging in. Do some research on the stuff not on this site yet.

Let’s do this!
