Hi, I’m Bob. Philly born-and-raised Baby Boomer who’s been marketing online long enough to know the difference between shiny objects and tools that actually help you build a business.
I created Bob Coleman Recommends to cut through the hype and give you straight-talk reviews, simple tutorials, and practical bonuses so you can pick the right tools—fast. No fluff. No guru-speak. Just what works.
What you’ll find here
- Honest reviews & comparisons of marketing tools, courses, and software
- Step-by-step guides for list building, SEO, video marketing, and traffic
- Checklists & templates you can use the same day
- Bonus bundles that make good products even more valuable
Who I help
- Solo founders & side-hustlers who don’t have time (or budget) to waste
- Small business owners who want clear, repeatable ways to get leads and sales
- Boomers & late bloomers who want modern marketing without the jargon
How I test (my simple scorecard)
- Usefulness: Does it help you get a result this week?
- Setup time: Can a busy owner implement it without a tech team?
- Support & updates: Will it still be solid 6–12 months from now?
- Cost vs. value: Is there a smarter, cheaper alternative?
- Ethics: No bait-and-switch, no black-hat nonsense.
If something fails this test, I don’t recommend it—period.
My philosophy
Marketing isn’t magic. It’s list building, trust building, and consistent follow-up. I’ve leaned on those pillars for years with affiliate marketing and SEO, and I still do today—updated for 2025.

Transparency & affiliate disclosure
Some links on this site are affiliate links (including marketplaces like Amazon or software networks). If you buy through them, I may earn a commission—at no extra cost to you. I only recommend tools I’d use myself, and your trust matters more than a commission.
