Aaron Cordovez:

After having great success in the computer science and software engineering world, I moved on to online sales on marketplaces that are heavy on Data. I created overwhelming success rapidly using my previous experience writing for non-profit magazines, high-visibility ghost writer blogs, and understanding of computers and algorithms.

I now provide select Amazon consulting to brands and companies that I believe in, as well as provide software (currently many features are in beta) for E-commerce businesses to thrive. Naturally, this was the route I would go to systematize what could be systematized and help good employees do their jobs more quickly and efficiently.

Jeffrey Mangus:

I'm a professional ghostwriter specializing in Non-fiction Books, eBooks, Blogs and Web pages. I have over 25+ years as professional writer/ghostwriter and I help entrepreneurs solopreneurs, large and small businesses, tell their story and write their books for the world to read.

I have helped everyone from celebrities, musicians, recording artists, politicians, business owners, marketing agencies, literary agents and publishing houses big or small, write their books and tell the world their story.

I believe every business needs a book to help market their product or services. Plus, having a book will build your brand along with creating an additional residual income stream. That is not too shabby if you ask me. You have a book in you. I know you do and I’d love to ghostwrite your book and share it with the world.

I also KNOW one inevitable thing…Every business, big or small, has a book in them and a unique story to tell the world.
