If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my no-cost internet marketing course: Internet Passive Income. Thanks for visiting!

Several years ago, when I left San Francisco and moved to Utah for graduate school, I set-up my first website.

It was little more than a word-document posted online through an overpriced webhosting company. I quickly learned that the internet had amazing possibilites for communication, self-development and marketing, but I had virtually no money to make those possibilities come true. Hiring others on my paltry graduate income was out of the question!

Because of this, I ended up learning and doing virtually everything myself - web design, webhosting, marketing, product creation, search engine optimization, overseas outsourcing - you name it! I subscribed to every free-newsletter that I could get my hands on and downloaded every free ebook and audio that people offered until I figured out what I needed to do.

I was also lucky enough to get a small grant from the Technology Assisted Curriculum Center (TACC) at the University of Utah to set-up an online psychology class and to have several mentors in the dept. who encouraged my internet passion.

As I got deeper and deeper into the web, I found ways to use my psychology research skills online. For instance, I created Google Pay Per Click campaigns and “niche” websites around certain products that I wanted to create. I then surveyed people after they clicked to one of my websites. Essentially, I asked them specific questions about the product or idea and ran statistical analysis on the answers that they gave me. I was able to uncover their needs and motivations and then design my products around what they wanted…not what I thought they wanted.

Ultimately, I was unable to find an outlet for my ideas and research at the university. I left grad school to pursue dreams full-time. Scary and F-U-N at the same time!

I offer this website and related offerings in the hope that it will give you a roadmap (or at least some cool shortcuts) to using the internet to make your dreams and possibilities come true.

Good luck and feel free to contact me if you have any questions: ryan at ryannagy.com

Thank you for a top-notch, first-class consult. As a self-employed professional, my budget is limited. So I really appreciate that from the first minute of our brief teleconference you were able to give me a lot of good ideas that I could follow up on myself at my time and within my budget.
A few of these I had heard of before, but I hadn’t quite focused on them. You are able to explain them in the way that has me upping for their priority on my to do list.
Although I hold myself out as a cross-cultural communications expert, I always appreciate it when others help me hone my own communications and my time with you was very well spent.
Thank you,
Jonathan Kroner
