Bill Burdin

 I partner in an  Internet consultancy business through my company Websitings Pty Ltd.

My initial introduction to the Internet was in 1994 when I became  a Certified Internet Marketing Consultant with an organisation called the Global Entrepreneurs Network (GEN). As a member of GEN I discovered the enormous potential of ecommerce and also learned much about web hosting and web marketing. 

I became an early convert to a programming language called Cold Fusion which enabled me to build dynamic websites and to build a powerful mailing list.

I developed one of the first online real estate portals which was sold to a US online corporation. It was one of the first Real Estate Directories on the Internet.

In 1999 I was invited to the US as a guest presenter at the Florida GEN Conference to introduce a international online directory portal I created. This portal was eventually sold to a US Corporation.

I have had several speaking engagements at Internet Conferences in Australia and the US and have also addressed students at the Australian National University.

In 1999 I became a founding member of i-cop the International Council of Online Professionals, arguably the best known and most respected online business association and In the latter part of the nineties I created an Online Ad Network that grew to a membership of 68,000 publishers.

In 2007 I was granted   Google Adwords Professional status by Google one of the first tweny five individuals in Australia to achieve such standing.

I currently consult to local business advising on how to have their businesses listed on local search results being offered by major search engines. Local search consultancy is conducted via Infinite Leads and I run occasional workshops and seminars on the subject.

Having recently identified that many people would like to enter the Internet Publishing arena by establishing their own brand online I have become a principal partner of First Person Branding, a business providing the tools and resources advise for individuals who wish to create an online presence.

If you are thinking of establishing your own personal brand online I encourage you to watch this short video showing how easy it can be using the First Person Branding builder. It's the tool I used to create this website.
