Taylor Reaume Speaks To 50 Film Book Authors In Los Angeles, CA.

Over the past year or so I have had the pleasure of working directly with the largest film book publisher on the internet, http://www.MWP.com. Michael Wiese, owner and founder of MWP, is an amazing person to know. He is knowledgeable, patient, wise and successful as a business man, and a teacher.

Below is an except from his homepage that will give you an idea of what he does. Michael first came to me in 2009 as a referral from a colleague in Santa Barbara. Michael’s main concerns revolved around his frustration with stagnant traffic levels at his site, and the inability to quickly and easily add content to his site.

I explained to Michael about how I could help him by way of a professional WordPress installation and community portal. About 11 years ago I started a community web site for musicians…perhaps that story is best summed up by Michael Wiese’s speech introduction on Saturday…I’ll let the introduction Michael’s is giving tell that story:

“Taylor Reaume is a fortune 500 SEO consultant, and owner of the Santa Barbara Search Engine Marketing firm, Search Engine Pros.com Taylor is most widely known for his eStockMusic.com, a stock audio web site that he built up to 200,000 unique visitors per month, WITHOUT the use of seed capital. In 2007, Taylor sold the site for six figures to fortune 500 Jupitermedia. Later the site was purchased by Gettyimages and now populates IStockAudio.com Taylor has vast knowledge of how to get a #1 rank on Google, and how to build more traffic to a web site. Taylor holds a Marketing and Economics degree from Humboldt State University, and has been teaching SEO at his weekly workshops in Santa Barbara for 2 years. Interesting tid bit, Taylor’s SEO firm is one of the few firms on the internet that offer Multilingual SEO services.   Today he is going to speak to you about the new MWP.com community web site he built for us,  and also provide you some tips on how you can sell more books by getting top ranks on Google.”

Anyhow, I explained to Michael about the community web site building experience I have and he decided to have me build him a community web site for his Film Book Authors. I have to applaud Michael for his faith in my skills, and according to his recent comments, he is extremely happy with the outcome. Our goal is to continue to grow the web site and implement new strategies for building traffic to the site over the next few years.

Community web sites, and the user generated content that comes with them, are perhaps one of the best ways to build a strong presence on Google and other major search engines. The new community web site at http://www.mwp.com/community enables Michael’s authors to collaborate on ideas, upload videos into their profiles, add blog posts and most of all it grows brand loyalty.

Long story short, Michael was very impressed with the way the site turned out, and as a result invited me to speak at his upcoming closed door, invite only (woohoo ! Exclusive! ) Film book author workshop, (3rd Annual MWP Publishing Summit) this Saturday June 19th in Venice Beach, CA.

Of course I accepted his offer, and here I am now, compulsing over my speech. This is, after all, probably the largest crowd I have yet to speak for. My experience with hosting my SEO Workshops every Thursday (a free community service I offer) here in Santa Barbara has really helped me to gain a better handle on my speaking skills. I am excited to meet this challenge and potentially meet some interesting film book authors, new friends and new business partners.

If you are a film book author, I would highly encourage you to check Michael Wiese’s site at http://www.MWP.com

I am pasting the homepage content below for you. If you know of any book writers who might find this resource useful, please do let them know. Thank you!
