General Meeting

October 13, 2009

Internet Marketing

More than ever, today's businesses depend on marketing to bring in new business and to keep current business coming back time and again.  There are many modes of marketing, TV, radio, magazines, newsletters and more.  To keep costs in line businesses large and small need to find ways to optimize the low cost marketing available through the internet.

First, you need to create a quality online presence that shows of your expertise on your subject.  Second you need to give them a reason to subscribe in some way and to come back and use your site again.  Third is the hard part, getting people to find your web site. 

It does not matter how awesome your web site or  how many buzzers and bells it has, unless people find your web site, it will not do you any good.  There are many steps you can take so people find your web site and that is what we are going to be talking about at the October General Meeting.

Find out

• Steps to take to boost traditional marketing with your web site.
• What your web site needs to contain to help the search engines find you.
• How to research key words and where to use them.
• The difference between organic results and paid results on search engines.
• How to use blogs and articles to boost your organic results.

This meeting is perfect for beginners, you will not hear to many "internet geek" words as we don't really know them.  We will define all the weird words you may not have heard.  Be sure to catch the newsletter that comes out the Thursday prior to find out more about starting or improving your web site and then how to get people to come back or subscribe to your site.  If you have not yet subscribed to our online newsletter - use the sign up box to the left.
