Industry Expert/Author of numerous training packages/publications

Over 20 Years Building Better Online Businesses

I’m Barbara Ling, Authority Building Marketer, 20+Year Innovator and a Rebounder from Ankle Fusion plus a whole heap of medical challenges.   But that’s personal; professionally, I’m the author of a huge number of training packages, books and publications on how to generate a thriving business online, and an all-around Marketing Innovator.

I’m also a member of the National Association of Female Executives, the Society of Professional Journalists and the Online News Association.

Media-wise, I’ve appeared in The Wall Street Journal, CNN, Forbes and Inc. magazine, eCommerceTimes and others.

During my recovery time of 5 months from October until February,  there was *0* decrease in my business (thanks to strategic planning).  Throughout it all, I have continuously shared my expertise via articles like:

• Facebook Reaches for Mobile Gaming’s Brass Ring
• 10 Hot Tips To Help Cool Companies Avoid ‘Summer Melt
• Social Media History Is Being Made: Facebook’s Social Media Outrage Creates 150K “Likes” Fanpage
• Picasso or Starving Artist? The Eerily Unsettling Art of the Marketing Bandwagon Effect
• Business Superhero: Natural Disaster Planning To Ensure Your Business Is Fully Operational When The Lights Go Out
• Google Hangouts and Power Facebook Authority
• The BEST Memories You Can Treasure

and hundreds more.
These are possibly the least important things you could know about me.

The most important thing is this.

I’ve been in the online marketing business since it began, and believe me, I know exactly how to generate long-term income, without using the techniques of those who trumpet, “Send me your money and I’ll sell you an impossible dream!”   That’s a song and dance.

It simply isn’t *necessary* to venture to the Dark Side – and to my mind, it’s downright wrong.  There are hundreds of routes to legitimate online businesses that support their families and business online .  Those businesses are stronger, more sustainable, and they actually make more money in the long run. Plus they let you sleep soundly at night.

I call that a win.

My clients want to emerge as a leader in their niche. And they’re relieved to hear that there are plenty of ways to do so.

I’m here to make that possible. I show you the techniques that create your authority and build strong, healthy businesses that make money by giving people what they want: solutions to problems.

Increasing your business bottom line with ethics and easy-to-follow instructions – that’s what you get when you work with me.

On a more personal note, I love coffee, martial arts, and mastering new industries (I even became one of the foremost experts in realty without ever working as a realtor). I live with my husband, my four amazing children, my Twitter Budgies, and our two moose – I mean rescue dogs. No, I mean moose.

If you’d like to get to know me one-on-one, please feel free to stalk me on my blog, follow my Facebook, or simply drop me an email.
