About The Decorated Way
Hi, I'm Travis Neighbor Ward. I founded The Decorated Way™ to share my knowledge, strategies, and tools with others. As a former Magazine Editor in Chief with 25 years of experience at three major publishing companies, I'm a pro at planning and producing content that performs. I love helping people like you reach your goals!
I teach an online workshop, Get That House Published, and wrote four books, including 550 Interior Design Blog Post Ideas.
As a professional blogger, my articles often rank on Page 1 of Google searches organically. I'm looking forward to sharing my strategies with you!
Through my company Pearl Multimedia LLC, I help entrepreneurs and businesses with content strategy (online and offline), content marketing, SEO, and website design.
My focus is on teaching entrepreneurs, small businesses, authors, and bloggers how to reach their blogging, publishing, and marketing goals. I make it easy and fun. Let's save time and make money!
