September 15, 2010 at 8:00 AM - September 15, 2010 9:00 AM
Members: $25.00 / NonMembers: $35.00

Join us to hear Kim Albee, Genoo Founder and President, demonstrate where to invest your time and effort, and what money-traps to avoid in online marketing.



Save yourself time and be more effective in the way you leverage the Internet for your business. Every business needs to make good use of available resources that can grow its revenue, and the Internet is too important to ignore. Learning effective strategies for using your web presence for business growth can be simpler and more straightforward than most business owners and employees think. Each attendee will receive a FREE handbook, "Effective Online Marketing In A Nutshell" produced by Genoo.

Through this talk, you’ll gain the hands-on skills to:
- Create web content that engages your desired customer;
- Set up a website that is a lead generation machine;
- Use social media to drive web traffic and spread the word about what you do;
- Increase your visibility through search engines;
- Create effective follow-up emails that pull your leads through the buying process; and
- Reduce your reliance on technology experts to do effective online marketing.
