As some of you may know, I met my wife Dong via Match.com. I was a member for several years before I met my wife (I signed up when they first started and was granted a free charter membership).
I won’t go into all the details of who I met during that time, but suffice it to say that you typically have to kiss a lot of frogs before you meet your prince(ss). And make no mistake, it’s a little scary. So I was glad to hear my friend Joel Comm has written a free online dating ebook.
Believe it or not, online dating is a great way to meet people. I know several people who have either married or had capital-s Serious relationships with people they met online. This guide is a great help for those wandering into unfamiliar waters.
As some of you may know, my wife Dong is from China, and almost since the day we met I’ve been interested in doing business there. Earlier this year we set up an Asian American relationships discussion forum which has a small but loyal following. Dong does most of the work while I provide mostly technical support.
We’ve also been exploring other opportunities. There are several in the pipeline, but one that we identified early on was the relative lack of use and education about Google AdWords in China. If you went to that link, you probably guessed that we’ve decided to remedy that problem by setting up Escalan Beijing, which launched today.
While Google is our initial focus, we believe there are all kinds of opportunities for Internet marketing in China, so if you have any interest, ideas or (best of all) know any potential customers who may want to talk to us, please send them my way. Xie xie! (That’s Mandarin for “Thank you!”).
Here’s something you don’t see every day. Or maybe you do in China.
