“If I give away my IP I have to replenish it. It keeps me at the constant edge.” Ron Baker (tweet this)

His belief that: “The value of your product or service is solely in the eyes of your customer”, profoundly impacted my view of pricing and the purpose of a business.…

Winston Ong is an SEO and Google Analytics certified consultant based in Sydney. You can find him writing about search marketing and analytics on his freelance website The SEO Tailor.
