Welcome to Where Marketing Meets Common Sense (and a Bit of Fun)!

Hey there, and welcome to StevenCousley.com 🎉

I’m Steven Cousley, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned after 40+ years of experience (and a lifetime of tinkering with tech), it’s that online marketing is a bit like baking bread—if you don’t follow the right steps, you’ll end up with a hot mess.

A little about me: I’m a baker by trade, an internet marketer by passion, and a lifelong tech geek. My digital journey started way back in high school, where I had my first run-in with a Canola 1614p (look it up and try not to laugh). I spent so much time playing with the TRS-80 at the local Tandy store that they probably should’ve put me on the payroll. Fast forward a few decades, and I’ve been experimenting with ways to make money online for over 10 years—some successful, some… well, let’s just say “learning experiences.”

Why This Blog?

Because the internet is full of get-rich-quick gurus, and frankly, I don’t have the patience for that nonsense. I started this blog to share real, practical online marketing strategies—the kind that actually work, not the kind that require you to sell your soul (or worse, your email list) to some shady marketer.

What You’ll Find Here

✅ SEO & content marketing tips – Because “build it and they will come” only works in the movies.
✅ Social media strategies – Grow your audience without resorting to cat memes (unless that’s your thing).

Join the Journey!

Marketing isn’t a magic trick; it’s about learning, testing, and adapting. I’ll be sharing what’s worked for me, what hasn’t, and what I’m still figuring out. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by all the marketing advice out there, don’t worry—I’ll break it down into simple, actionable steps (with a sprinkle of humor to keep things interesting).

My first deep-dive post is coming soon—so stay tuned .
