ChrisMartenson.com

ChrisMartenson.com is an online community and information center founded by Chris Martenson, PhD.  Dr. Martenson's mission is to contribute to a tipping point of national awareness, to a readjustment of national priorities, and to a renewed valuation of personal connection and human prosperity.  The centerpiece of Martenson's work is the Crash Course, the world's most concise video seminar on how our economy, energy systems, and environment interact, and how they will impact the future.

ChrisMartenson.com partnered with the Shimshock Group to realize his vision of a vibrant online community with various opportunities for revenue generation and continuous marketing.  Over the course of many major releases, the ChrisMartenson.com infrastructure significantly evolved, and now includes:

• Highly scalable, optimized, and stable technology platform
• Flexible, growth-oriented content management system using Drupal
• Improved subscription offerings and donation capabilities
• Integrated advertising opportunities
• Robust e-commerce functionality leveraging Ubercart
• Customizable seminar marketing
• Private and public online forums
• High-quality video and podcast delivery
• External marketing through Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, BitTorrent, DVDs
• Unique functionality based on user roles

Additional functionality is planned for the near future to provide a greater sense of community and more user interaction.  The result of this work is a thriving, active community of supporters, nearly two million views of the Crash Course, solid revenue growth, high search engine optimization, and a website which ranks among the Top 30,000 in the world (Alexa), which places it within the top 0.02%.
