Dr. James Barnes is a professor, marketing mentor and author who has dedicated his life to helping others achieve their business goals.
He is an Associate Professor of Agricultural Economics at Mississippi State University, the brains behind the renowned Bricks-To-Clicks® Marketing program and the author of ‘5 Social Media Mistakes Your Business Should Avoid’.
Two decades of coaching youth basketball, a lovingly blended family, and a tenacious determination to help people succeed have shaped James into the kindhearted, insightful teacher he is today.
His latest offering is Master Your Marketing – an interactive, online course that takes the mystery out of marketing, so entrepreneurs can make money instead of wasting it.
When not helping businesses to flourish, James can be found savoring his weekly date night with his wife or playing basketball. He’s currently trying to prove that he’s still a force to be reckoned with on the court… if only he could learn a few new moves from his kids.
