Push the Arrow to Hear the 1 hour 2 minute presentation.
Internet Marketing 101 for Main Street Businesses

Last week I did an hour long presentation for Allegra Dioguardi’s new home staging curriculum.   Staging Training by Design

In it I covered three different major topics. The first section dealt with some basic decisions most people make before they have enough information to do well. That includes picking their url, web host and decision as to whether to have a blog or web site.

The second topic covered includes a discussion of how to make your web site more search engine friendly and also how to generate back links need to raise your standing in the search engines.

The third section, dealt with how to get more of the people that find your web site to do something.

These are topics I’ve dealt with before, here and in my two eBooks.  My challenge was to condense all the information into a single 60 minute presentation. Turns out I ran about 2 minutes long.

But if I say so myself, I did a pretty good job of covering all the major points you should be aware of when setting up your internet marketing campaign for your business.

Now while I would advocate that most people should learn how to manage and run their own web sites, the reality is that most will not. Therefore I discussed these topics so that people would know what they wanted to accomplish, so that they would be better equipped to tell their computer people what they wanted, and why.

Thus while the conversation was directed to home stagers specifically, the comments apply to almost any locally based business wishing to attract more customers by internet marketing.

In support of the audio, I have created a resource page of links and resources.  It is pretty rudimentary at the moment, but I will be developing it as time goes on.
