Wickedfire got me a job! - WickedFire - Affiliate Marketing Forum

PhillipMarlow · 04-21-2008, 04:31 PM

I start tomorrow as an "internet marketing coordinator" for a law firm here in Dallas. I'll be responsible for helping them with SEO and marketing their brand on social networks...as well as writing content for their website and blogs.

90% of what I know came from this forum.

THANKS JON and everybody who helps out here!

mj1133 · 04-21-2008, 04:38 PM

Congrats...

skrilla · 04-21-2008, 04:39 PM

Thats great! Which law firm in dallas might I ask? I've been through a few of them.

John · 04-21-2008, 04:40 PM

wheres my cut?

PhillipMarlow · 04-21-2008, 04:41 PM

I'd rather not reveal the name but it's a boutique firm that specializes in medical malpractice and whatnot

turbolapp · 04-21-2008, 04:59 PM

I thought you were going to say that you name dropped wf and they knew what that was.

Congrats!

barman · 04-21-2008, 05:45 PM

do they know you're a degenerate gambler and alcoholic?

PhillipMarlow · 04-21-2008, 06:09 PM

no, no they don't

it's a law firm, he'll fit right in.

I though wf was here to help people quit their jobs ... guess we should all head back to dp & the warrior forum.

PhillipMarlow · 04-21-2008, 07:42 PM

Well, that's the second part of my plan.

WebRef.eu · 04-21-2008, 07:43 PM

Nice one, well done.

smaxor · 04-21-2008, 08:09 PM

When you're ready for leads let me know.

PhillipMarlow · 04-21-2008, 10:08 PM

I will for shizzle.

shithappens · 04-21-2008, 11:01 PM

um, this place is so how you can learn to do shit so you don't have to have a 9-5 job... Where the hell did you fuck that up?

Jon · 04-21-2008, 11:27 PM

Medical malpractice lawyers visit WickedFire?!

Jesus.. what will they come up with next??

Frank E · 04-21-2008, 11:59 PM

Congrats. Did you have any other relevant formal experience when applying?

I'm a college student and i'm not making enough to support myself through aff marketing just yet. So i might have to find a job like you when i graduate in december, even though im very knowledgable in "internet marketing" I have no formal experience working for a company, so i'm interested in your background.

AdExhibitJason · 04-22-2008, 12:03 AM

ummm...you are working...wtf.....

PhillipMarlow · 04-22-2008, 12:09 AM

Frank,

Every day...at multiple times I searched my city's craigslist for the keywords internet market* SEO/SEM. I found a few listings that fit what I was looking for (after about 2 months). I told them what I could do for them to promote their services and find business and they took me.

Note: I did this forthe sole purpose of getting capital to 1. pay rent 2. pay for web hosting and PPC. Trust me, I haven't lost sight of the main goal...

Snakebyte · 04-22-2008, 12:35 AM

great news

Tedel · 04-22-2008, 11:35 AM

Best wishes, pal.

SEO_Mike · 04-22-2008, 11:54 AM

Ohhh so you learned about this stuff that you're going to do for them over the last month or so, and now you're going to be doing it as a "pro"? Greeeat.

How about this.

If you do an amazing job, then sure, tell them you learned it here. But if you fuck up and cause them to lose cash, tell them you learned it at AbestWeb. Fair trade I'd say!

ephasenetworks · 04-22-2008, 11:58 AM

That way u wud repay for what ever u learned here.

Oh good, will you tell them to go to hell for me? Ambulance chasers are some of the biggest scumbags in the world.

PhillipMarlow · 04-23-2008, 11:55 PM

I'm not making ANYTHING worth bragging about. But it's the best job I've ever had. And I plan to quit the fuck out of it as soon as possible.

Any worse than pushing "free" ringtones, fake pills for fatties, credit "repair", etc? I think not.

If "go where the money is" is your ethos, which I think applies to a very large swath of AM folk, then pointing fingers at personal injury lawyers is kinda nonsensical.

No, I really just dropped terms like SEO and copywriting in my coverletter to sound more marketable. It got me the job, but after being there a week, I've figured out that they pretty much want me to maintain a bunch of blogs, write a shit ton of content, and MOST IMPORTANTLY:

find people with a certain disorder on facebook so i can solicit their business. That's what they want me to do. I'm spamming facebook but trying to make it look like...not spamming...and sincere. WTF right?

Davros · 04-25-2008, 02:27 AM

Ha ha ha!

So you're getting paid (a decent amount I hope) to spam Facebook and write content (which you could outsource to our Indian chums and re-write) - sounds like a fucking difficult job you've got there...NOT!

patrick24601 · 04-27-2008, 06:12 PM

Philip,

You might want to be careful what you say about your employer. Although the chance is slim they could still see what you say about them and bounce you. It is not like it has not happened before.

This sounds like a perfect job to outsource the deliverables, cream off your cut, then sit in the office doing more interesting/profitable stuff.

The best thing about having a full-time job is getting paid to learn things. Then you don't have to make so many screwups on your own time.

On second thoughts - probably best not to listen to anything I say. The longest I've managed to work for someone else is 6 months.

PhillipMarlow · 04-29-2008, 12:52 AM

^That's how I'm looking at it. Anybody have suggestions on what to do? I'm going to be outsourcing content, I have 1 or 2 sites that I really want to rank in google. I did a 'site:domain.com' check on the competitors and will be submitting our link to directories. I'll also be doing article marketing...

I may even have the freedom to get going on some adwords campaigns for myself. I haven't done PPC but that seems to be what a lot of the big earners on here are doing..
