Limited time offer: I am offering 20 hours of free brand development and SEO consultation (worth $2,000) to anyone who will let me run a case study on the project, and document it in my portfolio. First come, first served. Looking for at most 3 takers. No forums for this, just websites/web shops. Read more...
Who am I?
Hi! I'm Thomas, and I'm here to help you out. It is commonly believed that your website or store has just 15 seconds to make a first impression on a new customer. This seems like a simple concept, but writing that perfect pitch is not always as easy as we think. I have spent the past 7 years of my life, working with businesses across the world to expand their reach through organic and paid website traffic, and if there is one thing I have learned, it is that no customers come easy.
If you would like more background on my credentials and work, you can find my LinkedIn profile here.
Building on almost a decade of experience in search-engine optimization, I have learned the ins and outs of website development, marketing strategies, and what makes a customer tick. This requires not only an understanding of the marketing and communication perspectives (i.e. how do you frame your product, how do you present it, what is the target audience looking for?), but also solid technical knowledge of development languages, user interfacing and layouts.
What can I do for you?
As part of a recent attempt to free up some time, I am offering my services at a very discounted rate to members of the HackForums community, to give back a little for all that I have learned in the past 10 years here. I am available to you and your business for any of the following services, and can also arrange for custom services if neither below fit your specifications.

- Search-engine optimization - Your SEO-efforts are alpha omega in the digital age. As much as 80% of your traffic depends on efficient SEO, and it is not a simple concept to grasp. With years of experience in the field, I can offer insights, reviews and new strategies for expanding your organic reach and giving you a better understanding of your website's SEO.
- Communication and branding - The prettiest website in the world will have no luck, if the writing is bland, or the grammar is off. It is incredibly important to hold all your business communication to the highest standard. To assist with this, I offer proof-reading services, ghostwriting, marketing material development, as well as any ad hoc services your business may require.
- Marketing campaigns and/or strategies - Launching a new product, or gearing up for a new customer meeting? Let us take a look at your marketing campaigns, and see where we can streamline and improve upon your existing strategies.
- AdWords, Facebook Ad Planner, and other ad services - Figuring out the internet's many advertising platforms is a hassle, at least, and a full-on battle, at most. With the growing complexity of the datasets, the algorithms behind them, and the many competitors on the market, it is often the marginal improvements that make the difference; and for those, you need a proper expert. Let us sit down and have a look at your current advertising efforts, and find out where we can patch some holes in the budget, and where we can pad others.
- Rebranding and corporate identity development - Your company needs a general "look and feel," to make sure your customers remember where they bought their services, and will recognize them in future efforts. It is incredibly important to have very clear ideas of how your brand looks, which colors you operate with - and why - and how you intend to affect your customers when they first visit your store/website.
- Website reviews and website development - Fixing errors and tags on your website is always a first priority. Assuming you have not already gone through this work, I am also able to assist in any web-development and complete reviews of existing sites, blogs, or webshops.

What do I expect?
I offer my services to HackForums at a base salary of 10% of my professional rate - that is, what I charge my clients outside of the HackForums community.
10% of my current rate comes down to $10/hour, plus additional fees for any expenses I incur during my work; this will be agreed upon on a per-fee basis. Additionally, I expect you to be open-minded to new ideas, and offer yourself for consultation in case I have questions for your store or website.
If you are interested in my services, or would like to know more, please reach out to me via PM here, or via my e-mail: thko (at) norh.eu.
I look forward to working with you soon!
