Daniel Joslin
Corporate Biography
Net Business Advisor was created in May 2009 by Jason Tierney and Daniel Joslin as a marketing consultancy focusing on harnessing the power of the internet to generate more clients, more customers for local businesses.
Daniel Joslin has owned and operated numerous "traditional brick & mortar" businesses, including a series of Laundromats, an apartment complex, a sports agency and even a law practice. Commencing in 1999 through reselling products on EBay, Daniel became a full-time internet marketer in 2004 selling products throughout the internet in niches from bird cages to lingerie to lead generation. In 2006, Daniel's collective internet marketing businesses exceed $1,000,000 in revenue and has increased consistently ever since.
At 19, Jason Tierney launched a landscaping business in New Jersey with no experience and no contacts. In less than three months Jason's landscaping business had generated over $60,000 in revenue. After selling his landscaping business in 1999, Jason jumped into online marketing on a full-time basis. Specializing in paid advertising, Jason's revenues crossed the $1,000,000 mark for the first time in 2007. After numerous profitable joint ventures, Jason and Daniel launched Net Business Advisor with a focus on marketing and sales. Instead of focusing on website rankings in Google or visitors to websites, Net Business Advisor examines, evaluates and implements a targeted marketing strategy to increase sales for local businesses regardless of size or market niche
