Hello, my name is Andy Waldock.  A couple of years ago, I was working at Lind-Waldock & Company a family run company.  While I was working there, we controlled nearly70% of the retail commodity brokerage market.  The owners, Jack Waldock and Barry Lind sold the business in 2000.  The company changed hands two more times before 2007, and we were no longer a family run business.  We were being managed by an overseas conglomerate, which were simply using our name to gain access to the U. S. market share.  When they closed my hometown Sandusky, Ohio office, that forced me to make a decision.  Should I go back to trading commodities on my own or, listen to my customers and start my own business.

This is my story, an individual with 20 years of industry knowledge taking on a multi-national corporation.  I started my own company, Commodity & Derivative Advisors (http://www.commodityandderivativeadv.com) with a handful of my best clients.  Believe me I made all the mistakes that new business owners are inclined to make before finding the key to compete on equal footing.

I dipped into my saving, began beating the bushes and got us up and running.  Thousands of dollars was spent on T.V. advertising.  This involved writing and filming a high quality commercial.  Air time was purchased for all of my major markets and I knew my multiple line phone system could handle all the new leads these commercials were going to generate.   I waited for the phone lines to ring every time one of my commercial aired.  I waited and waited but NOTHING HAPPENED!

I diligently wrote client letters and market research. I was featured in magazines and newspapers. I started a blog (http://blog.commodityandderivativeadv.com) and began publishing my research there as well. My customers were grateful and I picked up a few referrals but, I just wasn’t gaining any marketing traction against multi national corporations with floor’s of researchers and media outlet distribution networks. Finally, I stumbled upon article rewriting software. Finally, I could write one article for my clients and blog and quickly create many, many variations to publish all over the internet.  I found that one HIGH QUALITY article could be reworded in minutes. I submitted each new article using article submission software and I watched high quality links grow like wild fire. My business is based on teaching new people with an interest in commodities to trade. Therefore, I focus my article and search engine optimization for, “futures market education.” Since 1965 our family has been teaching new people to trade! As a second generation commodity trader, I’ve participated in the electronic trading revolution and I am intimately familiar with its peculiarities. 

Thanks to article rewriting software I’ve been able to watch my firm, Commodity and Derivative Advisors go from not listed in Google for, “futures market education,” all the way up to 9th!!!!

SCRATCH THAT – As of 8/2/10 we are up to 6th!!!

Google it and see for yourself.

This is one place AHEAD of Lind-Waldock. They are huge! The fact that I can take on a company like that from the comfort of my own home is a testament to the effectiveness of article rewriting software and article submitting software.

Links from effectively written articles get picked up and reposted across the internet like WILDFIRE! High quality content is at a premium.  I use my own expertise to generate high quality search engine listing for my business. High quality information will PROVE YOUR WORTH to your customer base. Every source that picks up your article generates a high quality one way link to your business. Each high quality one way link you generate equals a vote of confidence in the article you’ve submitted. The more votes of confidence you generate, the more important your site is to Google…..and THAT is the bottom line to compete globally!
