“Easton both piloted and mentored by KMM blog, BizMediaScience. He offered good advice and had good insight, although I think his true gift is recognizing trends before they emerge.

was with another company when working with Easton at Know More Media
“I can say that I’ve had the privilege to work with Easton both as a client and as part of mastermind group we’ve been in since early 2007. And all I can say is that Easton really knows his stuff. Being in a mastermind group has not only allowed me to pick his brain for ways to help my blog, it’s also allowed me time to get to know him personally. I can say, without hesitation, Easton is, first-and-foremost, a top-notch person. High in integrity and long on giving. If I fault him for anything, it’s sometimes not knowing when he’s giving too much. Not a bad trait. And certainly shows that we’ve not yet tapped the bottom of his knowledge. Recently, I hired Easton to do some ‘official’ work for me on dmiracle.com. While we’re still in the development stage, the changes, suggestions and ideas he’s had so far have really blown me away. His knowledge of SEO, social media, social marketing and what I call blog crafting (blog development, design and writing) is excellent. And not only does he know what he’s talking about, he knows how to teach and apply it as well. If you want to take your blogging up a notch, I’d certainly take a look at hiring Easton. And if you’d like to ask me more about my experiences with him, please feel free to contact me.” June 11, 2008
