A little in-sight to who is John Toal from SlabAds & Twitter @jtfaelivi
Posted by Joanne on January 25, 2012
I am a happily married father of 5 & glad to say my life is good, can be very hectic & now with a new full-time job(Training for 4 weeks), a wife in full-time college & Beauty Therapy clients at night, but our life would be so boring without work & college.
Well apart from my 5 little terrors…..I mean how could I possibly forget (Taylor 13, Callan 9(only boy), Bailey 4, Lily & Ava 3)
We wouldn’t change it for the world even though we currently stay in a 2-bedroom house(converted into 3), we’ve found that the house prices are just too high for what space we would actually like, our house maybe full of stress & madness but we have the most important thing of all “Love”, if my wife & I didnt share the love we do, our house/lives would collapse under the strain.
Having a family & especially so many children can be quite daunting, & sometimes we feel jealous of our friends who have 1,2 or 3, they dont know how hard it really is, mostly of all for my amazing wife Cat who is left every morning with a teenager who deosnt want to help, a 9 year old boy who freaks when he has to shower & brush his teeth, & 3 little girls, who just run around in excitement, which brings me to what I do first thing in the morning, put clothes on, Breakfast for the girls & the dog, let dog out & eat cereal on way out the door.
I recently started a new job with 4 weeks training for Technical Support on call, My other passion (workwise) is SlabAds.com, which specialise in Low Cost Advertising & promoting Small Business & sole traders online, this was actually started by Jimmy Web as a Business directory & funnily enough an advertising page for business to use a Slab to advertise, I got talking with him one day & ideas started flying around, & we decided that to market the brand on a larger scale, we should change the website from Lanarkonline(LOL) to SlabAds.com, this was launched on the 6th of June 2011 & on that day we had 1,000 hits within the first two hours, since then we have exceeded the 100,000 hits per month, and looks to be increasing all the time, our SlabAd client base has grown dramatically & lots of opportunities & changes are being implemented all the time, very happy to report that stats are showing our website hits are well on the way to reach ONE MILLION in our 1st year!!
Our most recent venture for MultiMedia Advertising on Mobile phone charge points, these are situated in two very busy sites, Braehead Xscape & Glasgows Forge shopping mall, these two alone have visitors exceeding 2million per year!! Proving to be a very popular client choice.
I think you will be seeing alot more of SlabAds.com in the next six months, & hopefully my goal of working from home full-time & the option of meeting people face to face, will be happening very soon, I am very much a people person & connect much better face to face, & people find it harder to say NO or you can discuss what you really want from the business/service.
I hope you have enjoyed my little in-sight to who John Toal from SlabAds really is, & thanks again to Joanne for allowing me to post this!!

Looks like a cost-effective way to market, providing that it’s not targeted at one region and that it ranks highly in the search engines
John Toal said,

Looks interesting but was very slow to load on my PC
Joanne said,
the SlabAds site?
Elaine said,
Yes – the first page of three ads opened fine but when I went to next page they took a while and came in ‘bits’ eg twitter/Facebook buttons and then the other text / images…
Jenny Johnston said,
SlabAds is a great, cost effective way to advertise and John is such a lovely man.
I strongly suggested you advertise with them, not only do you get an ad on there site but they tweet and post about your company!
Debs said,
Perfect timing! I am relaunching my business and getting very worried about how the marketing would be affected from before I had to close its doors for a year….but browsing through John’s site I think that will be my ideal answer!
John SlabAds said,
