Couponboa: What is your name?


Trina L.C. Sonnenberg


CB:: Where are your from?


TLCS: Originally from Madison, Wisconsin; currently from Nucla, Colorado. I have lived in Colorado for 13 years now.



CB:: Tell us something about your business, your goals and key achievements.


TLCS: I started writing promotional copy for syndication through my web site, AdsOnQ, in 2004, after successfully moving my ezine to an rss feed, I realized that the nature of rss was perfect for advertising. I have been able to write copy that gets indexed within the first few pages of Google, based on keywords, for most of my clients. In fact, I have held a page one position for AdsOnQ through the use of the key phrase, online advertising solution, for the last six years. By writing content based on a clients' business, I can get listed on the first pages for keywords, and thus drive traffic of interested people, to their web sites. People want information and I give them that. From there, I began writing books. I have published two books since 2007.



The first is a collection of poetry 'My Journey' a Lifetime of Verse, and photographs and the second is my memoir, 'Forever and Always... A True Love Story'.



CB:: How did the idea for this business come about?


TLCS: It all began with the moving of my popular ezine from email distribution to rss. I got tired of the hassle of all of the email rules and bouncing and discovered a better way to make sure my readers get what they want to read without depending upon ISP and other email regulators to deliver my messages. Most of my readers were using AOL at the time; therefore, they were not getting the information they signed up to receive. When my ezine succeeded through rss, I realized that rss could mean a great deal to advertisers in the way of Google indexing and content management. Search engine spiders like content not five line ads.



CB:: What is the startup story behind your business? When did it start?


TLCS: In 2003 I was introduced to Quikonnex, my content management service and rss feed provider. Through collaboration with other feed publishers, we came up with the idea of leasing out our services to business people looking for a way to get indexed on the major search engines. By 2004, AdsOnQ was created and I am the last remaining member of the original think tanking group that gave birth to the idea. I ran with it. The others lost interest in the idea, but I have been successful with it.



CB:: How many hours do you work a day on average?


TLCS: I am usually at my desk for 6-8 hours each day, depending upon what else needs my attention. It depends upon how many clients I am working for at any given time.



CB:: What's your definition of success, and do you believe you've achieved it yet?


TLCS: I believe that to be successful one must be engaged in activities that they love, and be surrounded by people whom they love. So, I feel extremely successful; I have met each challenge I've faced, head on; I do what I love and love those I live my life with.



CB:: What motivates you?


TLCS: Doing what I love (writing) motivates me. Work is not work when you love what you do. As a child I dreamed of being a writer, and I have succeeded in that goal, and now I just keep on going in that direction. Helping others who need motivation and safety also motivates me. I am a survivor of many unpleasant things and I hope that my experiences will help others overcome the challenges they face.



CB:: What is your greatest fear, and how do you manage fear?


TLCS: I have nothing to fear, so I don't spend any time on it. I look to the positive side of every situation, and run with that. Fear holds people back and I do not wish to be restrained.



CB:: If you had the chance to start your career over again, what would you do differently?


TLCS: I would go to college.



And that's how Trina concluded. We are extremely thankful to her for spending time for our readers and we wish her every success.

Well, since the creation of this, my first lens, I have created 99 others. I write about topics that are important to me, and I hope they are important to others who read me. I've written a great deal about Internet marketing, politics, women's issues and marriage and family living. If you are interest in any of that type of information, please check out my other lenses; I've even done a couple of recipe lenses too.

I recently became a Squid Angel, and I am having a lot of fun with that. I get to cruise around Squidoo, reading and blessing lenses. I am enjoying that quite a bit.
