Hi,

I am Jens du Plessis, owner of a number of online business web sites and directories including

• Emarketing Workshops,
• Phoenix Business Solutions,
• Empower Web Development,
• Host2Sell,
• Rent A Site,
• SA Directories,
• DirectoriesPro Marketing,
• SA Contractors,
• SA Home Designers,
• Find Travel Sites Web Directory,
• South African Travel & Tourism Directory,
• Gauteng Business Guide,
• Joomla 1.5 Demo Site,
• Web Marketing Q&A,
• Web Writing 101

to name a few.

I currently own more than 200 web sites, most of them aimed at helping businesses market themselves on the Internet.

SA Contractors, a South African building contractors directory, is my original directory and has, conservatively estimated from feedback from its members, generated in excess of ZAR 2 Billion in leads since it started in 2005.

I am also the author of a number of ebooks (electronic or digital books) on Internet marketing, including:

• Internet Business Blueprint
• Marketing Your South Africa Contracting Business On The Internet
• Directory Marketing Made Easy
• No More Secrets - Understanding Internet Marketing
• The ONE Secret To Targeted Traffic

The directories I run are private initiative directories that developed from my years of doing business on the Internet - I started in 1996 and have built a number of Internet businesses, initially in exporting.

In the beginning of 2003 I went into Internet business marketing full-time and since then have been developing and offering training programs and other services to assist businesses in using the Internet effectively.

In a previous life I was an insurance broker for 12 years and before that spent 6 years at training insurance salespeople, therefore my focus to business web sites and the Internet is marketing and creating web sites that sell. This is also the reason why I've created nearly 100 niche market directories where my clients can promote their businesses and web sites.

I trust that you will find this site, as well as my other web sites, informative and helpful.
