Online Marketing with WordPress
My name is Andy Williams and this is my site. It started out as home to my newsletters. There were over 350 of them spanning several years. They are all now archived in plain text files and you can find them in the Newsletter Archives section.
In recent years, I found myself with less and less time to write full length newsletters (which were often several thousand words long). I therefore changed the newsletter format to only posting when there is something important or interesting that I think readers will like.
If you are interested in learning skills required to successfully build and manage a website, I have a number of books and courses on a wide range of relevant topics. Books are available in Kindle and paperback formats from Amazon. My courses are mostly hosted on Udemy, and I have included discounts on all courses if buying through ezseonews.com. Check out the links below for books and courses.
