With all the talk about our new "Rock the Social" training courses there are some subjects we are not covering. The reason we are not going to cover some courses as they take too much time for a 4, 8, or even 40-hour course. One of those courses is search engine optimization (SEO). We will continue to cover search engine optimization in these articles to continue that education process for those that wish to do everything on their own.

Yesterday we had the opportunity to be part of a Chamber Networking Night, a night put on by a city chamber that brings together local businesses to set up flashy booths, give away free goodies and interact with other visitors, clients, and businesses.

Over the past several months there has been a lot of thought and especially growth in many ways. JM2 started as two friends and their wife/fiancé wanting to just "have fun" and "make a difference". Over the years that has not changed but yet in many ways it has changed. In this article we're going to cover five things you must have if you want to have a growing business, not a hobby, and make a difference in the world that we live in.

I want to tell you a story. This story is a short one and one that shows what makes JM2 different than most companies. We are small (8 of us currently), we are new (3 years old), but we have a passion (our clients or customers if you will) become part of our family.

Each time we talk about our social media maintenance plans we get more excited than the last time (even if it was only a few minutes earlier). The reason for this is that the plans offer more than anyone could ever hope to get at a price that is not only fair but designed to help every business grow and be successful. We become a core part of your business and one of the most important pieces we do is we don't advertise on YOUR website or social media outlet. We are your expert silent partner in helping you grow your business.

One of the core aspects of being a growing company in Valparaiso Indiana is each week we reflect on the past week's activities, business decisions, products deployed and new projects we've received in the past week. We do this not only to stay focused for our clients but that we do not waiver from our core business objectives. This doesn't mean we don't waiver during the week. We do and have. Decisions take longer than a week to create and implement which is why we have our weekly reflections. In this article we'll cover some of the biggest waivers and how we overcame them.

Whenever we bring on a new client or whenever a new client finds their way to JM2, there is one question we always lead with once they choose our services.How are we going to be able to help them?

We are routinely (multiple times per week) creating Digicert SSL certificates for our clients in Northwest Indiana and outside of Indiana.
