Heya!  I’m Michelle MacPhearson.

I love efficiency, life hacks, selling, new technologies, self improvement and, more then anything, combining those things into my daily life and my work.

I focus on integrating “Web 2.0″ technology – that is, the hip, new, cool stuff all the kids are using – into my marketing, as well as teaching others how to do the same. I believe the internet is turning more and more towards user-created content and grassroots movements.

One of my favorite things to learn about is a new, neat website with some Web 2.0 usefulness integrated into it – and my first questions is, “How do I use this for marketing?”

You can learn about this stuff through Crowd Mountain.  I write about some pretty awesome stuff here on the blog, but over at Crowd Mountain the techniques and tools you’ll use are even more advanced and fun.  If you’re ready for that kind of environment, watch the intro video.

One a personal level, I am 29 30 years old and married for about 4 years. I have 2 small boys. We live on a 5 acre farm in the foothills of California’s Sierra Nevada mountains (Bay Area transplants). For 25 random, personal things about me, check out this post.
