Tim Gillette

I’m 58 years old. I live in Dallas with my wife, Gwynne. We have three adult kids, two grandsons, and a cat named Kiwi.

But I’m guessing that’s not the kind of stuff you’re looking for. You’re probably wondering,

People read “Content Marketing” or “Digital Marketing” and think it means making YouTube Videos, selling ads, creating Social Media Posts, and building a following. Following on social media DOES NOT mean Money.

I get it. I have been working online since 2009. I have heard it over 100 times: You need a (Fill in the blank, Social Media Site). You don’t need a website anymore.

Yes, you can make a substantial income through social media. But remember, the platform you're using has the ultimate control over your earnings. I've seen numerous 'social media experts' come and go, and they might still be in business if they had just one thing: their own website.

When building a consistent following, you must have a way to get them off the social platforms and to your site. We will discuss the next step below.

If you’re not willing to invest in a website, a piece of digital real estate that you own and control, then I’m not the right person for you. In digital marketing, a website is not just an option; it's a necessity.

No, I am not another marketing teacher broadcasting how this or social media platform is your ticket out. I am not another marketing and advertising guru. 

I will not tell you that you can promote your blog for free if you use social media. People are writing everywhere that Social Media is the Marketing Answer. “Just post here and promote there, and you will get all kinds of FREE traffic to your site.” Or “if you follow this new ‘loophole’ you can ‘game the system.’”

Do you think this would work?

Sometimes, and in the short term. But if you rely on that, you don’t have a business. You have an income stream that works for a while but could come crashing down. And that is a waste of time. If you want to waste time, go and see a movie. It’s more fun.

Let me be clear: I can help you become an influencer, but I choose not to. Why? Because when someone says, “How do I become an influencer?” I hear, “I’m not committed to building a genuine business, and I’m certainly not committed to providing real value to others.” That, to me, translates to “I’m not willing to put in the work.”

The truth is, most influencers don’t earn enough to sustain themselves. Many so-called business, life, and internet marketing coaches don’t make enough to live on. They’re broke, pretending to have money while struggling to afford basic necessities. I’m in the business of real work. It’s about putting in the time, investing in yourself with time, money, and hard work—doing today what others won’t so you can live tomorrow in a way others can’t.

Are you still here?

Yes, I just told you flat-out that I’m going to sell to you. After all, that’s what businesses do—we sell products and services. But here’s the thing: I’m also going to show you the value I bring, and you’ll get to experience it firsthand through the free content I provide.

I believe in giving valuable information and ideas that you can use right away to improve your business—no strings attached. My goal is simple: I want you to think, “Wow, this free stuff really helped me. Maybe the paid stuff will take things to the next level.”

Sounds fair, right?

I genuinely want to help people, and the best way to do that is by providing real value upfront, not by tricking anyone. That’s how I build trust, and that’s how I show you that investing in my paid offerings can truly make a difference.

Well, the smartest thing to do is to check me out. If you like what you see, you’ll probably enjoy my training. If you don’t like it, you won’t. Hey, that is okay! No hard feelings. It's as simple as that.

I think I’m supposed to do the whole “fancy biography” thing now, so here goes:

In 2004, I decided to sell my car wash business. This choice was shaped by an enlightening conversation with a dear friend and mentor, Zig Ziglar. He saw in me potential far beyond the car washes. He felt I was inadvertently coaching people, a gift he believed was worth pursuing.

Heeding his advice wasn’t immediate. Instead, I served lattes and led shifts at Starbucks for five years.

However, by 2009, my destiny again crossed paths with Ziglar's wisdom. He confidently asserted, “Tim, you could never replicate Zig Ziglar. But the world is ready for a dynamic Tim Gillette.”

Fueled by this insight, I entered the digital space with a WordPress.com blog, fostering a committed following. Between 2010 and 2014, I etched my mark as the beacon for budding entrepreneurs.

The pivotal shift occurred in 2018. The world knew blogging, but I introduced them to "Simple Easy Marketing." This wasn’t just a fancy name; it's a philosophy we trademarked. It encapsulated our mission to simplify and demystify the intricacies of business marketing. We made it our mandate to empower businesses with straightforward and effective strategies.

Fast forward to 2023, and Simple Easy Websites was born. Recognizing the need for efficient, effective, yet uncomplicated web solutions, we ventured into providing 'done-for-you' website services, saving our clients time and effort.
