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.

Setting up your web page, and getting your web site to the top of the search engines is a challenging but worthwhile task. The first step is to take stock of your current web site. How does it stack up in terms of its meta tags, on page factors and off page factors. What would need to happen to get to the top of the search engine rankings in your local market? For $99, I will review your existing site, identify its strengths and weaknesses. Suggest any easy changes you or your computer person can make quickly, and evaluate the steps you would need to take to rank in the top organic listings in your market place. This will include a half hour personal consultation with me, after I complete the analysis. To learn more send me and email together with your web site address, and I will do a free quick evaluation of your site to see whether or not my services would do you any good. Then and only then, will I ask you for a commitment, and payment. Send email to enetwal@gmail.com

    I would say that was good information that you gave out and anyone that was interested would do well and go back and listen again. It was definitely a nice thing you did in sharing this information with them that I know they will find helpful if they decide to use it.

    This presentation should help a lot of people! Although it’s hard to cover everything someone needs to know in an hour, this sure does help them to know what they need to do and what more information they may need.

    It’s a very good idea to have a resource page, one targeted to the the expected audiance. Like you said maybe it still a little bit rough but the layout is good.

    I look forward to listening to the audio.

    I continually find it interesting how traditional bricks and mortar businesses fail to see how their sales, customer service, etc… could be vastly improved with a modest technology upgrade. I understand that it may not make sense for everyone, but I think that just a little research would compel them to act more quickly than most do.
