I’m Greg Niland aka GoodROI. Here is a little information about me and how I found myself in this crazy world of internet marketing. It started when I had to pay my way through college by working in business offices. By the time I graduated college I had a marketing degree but more importantly I had 4 solid years of hands-on computer and internet work. This led to me being hired not as a marketer but rather for online work.

I spent several good years in corporate America. During which I gained alot of experience on the B2B industry and competitive affiliate areas. Eventually my online success (lets just say its good to be an affiliate) and offline frustrations (lets just say it’s no fun building a network of high ranking sites to have them replaced in the search engine because someone in another department signed up for paid inclusion) led me to make a sad but good business decision to leave the corporate world and start my own company.

That was several years ago. I’ve been having fun with Internet Marketing for over 8 years. I still maintain my own network of sites in various competitive online industries (don’t ask for details, I don’t expose my money-making specifics). I also provide help to other companies.

Conferences/Meetings

You can normally find me in Manhattan, NY USA unless I am speaking or attending some internet conference like Danny’s Search Marketing Expo, Brett’s Pubconferences, Ad-tech, Search Engine Strategies or WITS.

If you are an internet marketing veteran in the New York area you can join me at the monthly Internet Marketers of New York meeting. Yes, I did start IMNY but nobody gets special treatment from me. To be fair if you want to join you need to be approved by our membership committee or wait for one of our open house charity parties.

Speaking

You can hear me speak by listening to GoodKarma, my weekly internet marketing radio show/podcast, during which I interview experts on a different topic each week and give away free stuff to my listeners. I have close to two years of archived shows that you can listen to for free. I also am a regular speaker at internet conferences and a founding member of the SEO Class workshop. If you are having an event in a really fun place or for a good cause I might be able to speak at it if I have enough notice.
