Tom Cone is a Yorkshireman, entrepreneur and marketing consultant. He has spent the last 20 years helping over 1000 rural businesses in Yorkshire, North East and Cumbria - from Post Offices to Guesthouses, to Amusement Arcades, to Electrical Engineers, Printers, Manufacturers, Retailers, Brewers and Pubs!

Tom has been selected, appointed and approved by various UK Govt agencies: Rural Development Commission, One North East, Yorkshire Forward and others

Working with Yorkshire businesses is just like any other - except they don't have any money for marketing..! Tom would be requested to visit them (and they only ever asked for help when there was a crisis).. and had to get past the 'come on then clever clogs..' greeting and figure out what could be done and how to make it affordable and where to get the funds from. Everyday was a 'trial by fire'.

The internet came along and changed everything. Tom's market. Their markets. How to market. Getting a web-site. Using email. And would be asked: "What about this internet? How do I use that?"

Tom re-educated himself - going to the States on some pretty expensive programmes such as Jay Abrahams Bllion Dollar Summit.

Tom came back to Yorkshire with insights and ideas way ahead of the time... so far ahead.. his clients could not use them (they had emails and sometimes even looked at them!)That was the beginning of the change from consultant to online entrepreneur.

Tom really enjoyed his rural work and was a long time quitting... but now he is earning a full-time income online. First success was How To Fold Exotic Napkins, then became the UK support for Membergate. Next came www.ScreencastCentral.com ... followed by setting up www.eZs3.com.

Tom has four children and is celebrating 25 years of marriage to Deborah
