Nelson London Bates, Founder Imagineer
During my time working for the Walt Disney Company, I came into contact with the Disney Imagineers.
I thought they had the BEST job in the entire company.
They not only came up with creative ideas — but made them happen!
That’s what I wanted to do.
With one-small-twist.
In addition to coming up with the ideas, I needed to own the Rights.
So that meant I needed to strike-out-on-my own and build everything from scratch.
. . . and that’s exactly what I’ve done; and loved (almost) every minute of it.
So how did Miss Adley’s Animal Art get its’ start.
I was in a Target store with my three-year-old daughter, standing in the Baseball Card isle; when I noticed they had three full racks of Garbage Pail Kids for sale.
I was impressed that something I collected as a kid in 1985, was still being sold in Target.
I know shelf-space is very valuable and thought these silly-fun portraits must be very profitable!
And they are.
Amazingly, they were still using some of the same artwork from the ’80’s — when the idea popped-in-my head that I’d like to do some interesting children’s art the whole family can enjoy.
And that’s how Miss Adley’s Animal Art art got its start!
I’ve also served as the lead Web Master for Walt Disney World and written two #1 bestsellers about entrepreneurship.¹
My first Book.
Best Website: Simple Steps
to Successful Websites 2008
–
My second Book.
Web Fluent: The Faster, Easier Way
to Build Your Web Business 2012.
I’ve also run The Bonsaiii Company, LLC. It was a business that sold world-class bonsai and handmade, gallery-quality pottery. (Acquired, 2018)
Before that, I Founded The Entrepreneurs Studio, LLC — which was a creative advertising company that designed richly imaginative marketing campaigns for companies. (Acquired, 2016.)
It was in 1995 that I pioneered the Web Marketing industry with the original Internet Marketing Center™website.
In 2002 I Founded BuySellWebsite.com, LLC and built it into the #1 Ranked Website For-Sale Marketplace Worldwide.³
In 2003 I invented the Web’s most used Website Appraisal system to value Internet companies.
In 2006 I started BestWebsite.com® LLC and ran it for 5 years. It taught others how to build successful Web businesses of their own (Acquired, 2012).
I’m probably best known for my creative marketing strategies to build businesses. I consider myself a Founder & Imagineer.
I am enthralled with beautiful design, and elegant marketing.
I live in sunny Orlando, Florida with my Family and our beaming-with-happiness seven-year-old daughter.
I graduated from Kansas State University with a degree in Marketing.
Last but not least, my current Grand Project is to build something called The Barefoot Conservatory, right here in Orlando!
A wellness playground for the whole family. Read more at BarefootConservatory.org
