He presents at area libraries, park districts and vocational service centers as well as to community groups and businesses.

Yublosky labels himself "The Web Professor" and brags he takes a contrarian approach to traditional sales and marketing techniques, especially as it applies to Internet marketing. His practical, hands on expertise ranges from Search Engine Optimization to using free Social Media tools to E-Marketing Strategies and Campaigns for Web site businesses. Michael relies heavily upon and also teaches others to use the WordPress publishing platform for Web sites and blogs and uses LinkedIn, WordPress blogging, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, etc. to grow his and clients' businesses.  His Web site blog is found at http://diywebjem.com/blog/ 

Michael is truly living his passion.  He claims to be permanently tethered to the Web and goes into withdrawal if absent but for a few hours.  He is delighted to join the Buffalo Grove Patch as a guest blogger and welcomes your comments.
