The Beginning:

I started off my college career as an aviation student at a small regional college in Oklahoma. After Obtaining my privates pilots license, I realized that the airline industry was not for me. The constant urge to develop my own company has plagued my thoughts since my first job.

Once I finalized my decision to transfer into St. Edwards as an entrepreneur major, I quickly realized my passion for the internet. This passion was centered around the idea of starting a company that specialized in social media. I immediately knew that this was my calling and ultimately my "ticket" to a life beyond the realms of any normal career. Only problem was that my major was outdated, and failed to offer any insight into social media.

At this point I decided to change my major once more, to Organizational Communication. The study of how organizations function. The idea behind my decision was that this major would allow me to explore the different approaches to creating a dexterous organization with the ability to evolve alongside the ever changing terrain of the internet. At this point the idea of creating a website capable of meshing the concepts of influential social media with a collaborative approach to teaching people how to utilize different online advertising/marketing services in order to create numerous sources of residual income.

The Solution:

Evolved Ideas is the website that will hopefully make it possible. Hopefully in the future Evolvedideas.net will all for its users to learn how to make money on the internet through the sites collaborative approach to creating content, in order to document the methods of utilizing these different opportunities.

Evolved Ideas will also offer full website development fr Drupal CMS and Sugar CRM. Along with out development services we will offer Social Media Marketing consultation and content writing services. Last but certainly not least, Evolved Ideas will provide SEO and SEM solutions including Site/page analysis, Keyword research, link building strategies, and general consultations.

DFKinvestments.com is a re-make of primaryprofits.com, These two guys are business partners who both wanted similar sites with a different template, and slightly altered content.

Their books are exclusively invite only and they offer information on some the the finest establishments in the North American and Caribbean regions.

We automated their property listing, created communication portals for people to contact all the different agents. Currently we are finishing the template, and final customizations to some of the splash pages.
