Promoting your business on the Internet is like driving that car. You don't need to know all about the engine before you can go anywhere. If that were the case, the auto manufacturers would be bankrupt.
For some reason, most of us are intimidated by Internet tools. We need an expert. And we spend a lot of money on those experts, but do we really need to? Have you hired someone to design your website, but now you can't make changes without contacting your webmaster for every little change?
Or do you have a blog, but it's taking up all your time, or no one can find it on the Internet, or if they do, you aren't sure how to keep in touch with them so they'll visit again and remember you?
Yet you know that it can't possibly be as hard as it seems. You know people just like you who are using the Internet to attract clients and customers, are sharing their expertise and are growing their businesses. And they still have time to live!
You can be one of those successful marketers, using the Internet to reach the people who want and need what you have to offer.
I cover the features and best practices you need to know about building an online presence and leave out the non-essentials. Then we go on to using email marketing tools like Aweber to build a relationship with your audience!
In these recorded video sessions, we'll take a look at the foundational pieces and the time-saving tools to build your home on the Internet.
Each session was originally a live webinar and includes questions from other people just like you - busy people who want to use the technology without having to spend hours figuring it all out. Once the webinars ended, they were turned into videos that you can watch and listen to whenever you like.
Who this course is for:
- Non-technical people who want to establish an online presence to share their expertise

Instructor
I'm an Internet trainer/consultant and online marketing specialist. I've been working with groups and individuals both online and offline since 2001, teaching everything from social media to basic Internet marketing.
In my mid 40’s, the library where I worked was computerized. The machines were so intimidating that I transferred to the campus daycare for a year. But I missed the students, transferred back and started taking computer courses, determined to learn. I soon found that I loved using computers, and have been hooked on technology ever since.
In 2001, I left my position at the university and started my own training company. In 2004, I discovered the world of Internet marketing and it captured my interest. Since then, I have helped hundreds of non-techie’s to share their expertise online using a variety of marketing methods – audio, video, social media, and the written word.
I know what it feels like to be intimidated by technology and my goal is to teach technical concepts in a non-technical way - from confusion to clarity. This passion for computer literacy and interest in all things related to marketing on the Internet have led to many opportunities to help others.
My motto is "It's Never Too Late, You're Never Too Old, So Get Out of Your Comfort Zone". People need what you know, use technology to get it out to them!
