About
My name is DJ Francis. How can I help?
I write this blog which I describe as: A business blog at the intersection of online marketing, social media, and content strategy.
I have 8 years of experience, mostly in online marketing. After starting in politics, I moved on to work with a lot of companies you probably know and love.
I seem pretty skilled at persuading people – generally through writing and frequently on social sites – and I share my stories and experiences on this blog. I want to help you be a better marketer.
I consult, write, strategize, and kick ass (not to sound like a jerk, but…I do). If your marketing does not yet kick ass, I hope this blog will help. If you’d like more personalized ass-kicking assistance, my consulting rates are quite reasonable, even for small businesses.
And if you like what you’ve read on the blog, please subscribe.

Hey!
I’m jumping in head first into online communities and idea sharing. I’ve just started my own blog on web 2.0 and marketing. Could you share some of your experiences in starting your blog? What have you learned so far? Do you regret any posts that you’ve made or not made?
Hope to hear from you soon,
TheMarketingBackpack
Hey there,
Found your blog through facebook-great stuff! I work in non-profit marketing and just started a blog discussing how fundraisers should market to Gen Y. Focus a lot on social media tools, etc. I will add you to my blogroll-GenerationYGive.blogspost.com, check it out, would be great if you shared some thoughts on your experience marketing to the demographic.
I can’t spell: the site is GenerationYGive.blogspot.com.
Awesome blog… truly great stuff. Just one “housekeeping” note… your “subscribe” graphic link is misspelled. No big deal, but it’s SO easy to overlook it when you do it yourself. As a fellow WMBN member… I thought you should know. Thanks! Larry (smartbrandblog)

Hello DJ,
Great blog you have going here.
The web needs more “plain english” explanation of Web 2.0 marketing tools.
I look forward to reading more.
Best,
