My name is Mike Blaney and I am one of the fortunate people who gets to make a living doing what they love to do. I provide a wide range of marketing services to a variety of clients. In particular I have developed a specialty helping Realtors build their businesses.
My slogan of “Good ideas are a dime a dozen, but implementation is priceless” encapsulates the transition I have made from advising clients and sending them off to fend for themselves to actually implementing my ideas to ensure the success of the concept and marketing plan.
I am also very proud of inboxFX Communications which is an email stationery company I started with a partner last year. We think it is only a matter of time before people come to their senses and stop sending boring, ugly emails when they could be sending high-impact and professional emails designed by inboxFX.
If you see something that interests you in this blog please contact me and I will see what I can do to make it work for you. I can be reached in Vancouver, BC at 604-618-5512 or toll free at 800-568-8338 or email me at marketingguy@shaw.ca.
Thanks for visiting and let me know what you think.

Hi Mike! I am really enjoying all of the clever ideas on your site! Being a small business owner myself and seeming to always flounder around in the area of marketing, I’m especially glad I stopped by! I can tell from your entries that you not only enjoy what you do, you enjoy sharing your ideas with others. I sincerely hope that you’ll stop on over at my blog “My Cool Job” and then get in touch with me at jimsmuse@comcast.net. I would LOVE to feature you and your blog on my site! Happy Halloween!

Hi Mike,
I love what you’re doing here. I, like you, am in the business of helping Realtors use the the internet to more effectively market. I’m a licensed Broker who helped develop a new 2.0 online platform that makes listings much more fun and appealing to buyers and makes it easier for agents to sell homes faster online. It’s called Flash Gallery Homes (www.flashgalleryhomes.com) and I’d love to hear your thoughts.
Perhaps you’d like to let your readers know that there’s free expert photo tips on my site as well. I’m so glad the internet is allowing us to all help and learn from each other this way!
Keep up the good work!
