YNOT – Ralph Greco Jr., contractor in the South Florida online marketing agency PearlyWrites LLC, has signed on to write a weekly column for popular New York City lifestyle and entertainment blog shortandsweetnyc.com. Greco’s column, “Sex Files,” debuted Feb. 11 and since has featured tranny porn studio Trans-Glam Productions, uniquely sensual Valentine’s Day gifts, toys for men and women, and the passionate folks at Babeland. His take on the subjects is decidedly un-stodgy, partly because Greco has a background in the adult industry.
In addition to serving the marketing and search-engine-optimization needs of the few adult industry clients stalwart enough to brave the primarily middle-America mix at PearlyWrites, Greco also Djs an hour-long music show on RadioDentata.com, which is all about the titillation. He also works with Adult Organic SEO, blogs regularly for M. Christians’ “Frequently Felt,” and reviews and interviews performers for VintageRock.com.
He’s also a published author, having published a number of short stories in both print and e-book formats.
Still, he admits, column writing is a particular passion.
“For me, the fun of a column like this is the interaction,” Greco said. “Not only with store owners, porn stars, whomever I happen to meet and feature, but interaction with the wide range of shortandsweetnyc readers. We get folks from the five boroughs, people who work in town but live in New Jersey or Connecticut, people who are coming in for vacation.... I can’t wait to answer the emails.”
Shortandsweetnyc.com, run by David Lipp, boast a readership of approximately 8,000 unique readers monthly. The web-based publication is a daily gateway to all things in the Big Apple, from music and entertainment (of all kinds) to restaurant recommendations and cosmetic product reviews. Greco said he intends his column to pique the interest of a market segment he hopes will be responsive and opinionated — the more opinionated, the better.
He may be reached via email and enjoys receiving pitches from individuals and companies with something to offer New York City’s cultural rebels.
