FourthFloorMarketing.com is a blog covering various aspects of the internet marketing industry including SEO, SEM, PPC, social media, blogging tips, and affiliate marketing.
FFM was founded in 2008 by James Spinosa who has been creating and operating niche affiliate websites since 2007. He graduated from Binghamton University in May 2011 with a B.S. in Computer Science.
When he was a freshman in college he wanted to start his own business that had low startup costs and extremely flexible hours and eventually came up with the idea of developing & managing websites.
He later started Fourth Floor Marketing as a way to teach others how they can start their own internet based business. This vision has evolved towards having discussions with other professionals on how to maintain and grow organic traffic through search engine optimization and social media.

While his formal education was in computer science, his passion has always been marketing. He loves following trends in technology, marketing, business, and politics – digital marketing has proven to be a great way to combine these interests. In his free time he enjoys reading, fishing, camping, playing old video games (Diablo2, Super Smash Bros, Counter-Strike 1.6), and exploring NYC.

There are many good books out there on marketing, consumer behavior, social media, SEO, etc. – the problem is that there are even more horrible books on these topics than good ones.
