Does anyone have a link to a good online marketing site or free internet marketing workshops?
I have a small business and I’m trying to generate more traffic to my website. The thing is, there is so much information online it’s hard to filter through it. If someone has had success with an online marketing site or company, shoot me a link. Or even internet marketing workshops or classes in the orange county, california area that you’ve attended. Thanks.

Try Technology Brokers Association. I just went to one of their free workshops and let me tell you – they are very imformative. Crisantos Hajibrahim, the workshop instructor can give you a lot of insight on how to market your business online. Here’s an excerpt from their site:
“Crisantos will teach you:
-how Google AdWords works and little known secrets to get the most out of your Pay Per Click budget
- Google Analytics, the eyes and ears of your website without which you can’t hope to succeed with your Internet strategy
- how Google’s Webmaster tools are essential for Google Search success
- the power of Video and YouTube marketing
- the truth about traditional SEO (Search Engine Optimization) techniques and cheaper yet more effective alternatives for small businesses;
- online Drip Marketing, tracking Craigslists, and so much more… ”
I don’t know anything about website maintenance so i’m having them install Google Analytics for me on my site. They’re also helping me with a marketing plan tailored for my business.
Workshops are held twice a week in Huntington Beach, CA.
Here’s their website address where you can register online www.technologybrokers.org

I think one of the best would be in the telecommunications industry. It’s a bit different then MLM. It’s primarily network marketing. There is an MLM side to it, if you choose that route. There is many different results depending on the person and how much “real” effort they put into their business. I know a lot of people in this industry that do very well. I also know some who didn’t, primarily because they didn’t follow through with what they were supposed to, so they didn’t succeed in something so simple to do. This industry us also a major funding resource for SOFTIN, MADD, systic fubroses as well as many other non profit organizations. You can have it on line as well as off line. What you make, would depend on what you put into it, as with any business MLM, networking or not. You really need to hook up with someone who’s been in the industry for several years and knows all the ins and outs to have it be a success. Follow someone’s guide who knows what they’re doing.
I know someone who can give you the information on this particular industry, if you chose to do it, she can help you out.
Her name is Tiffany, she’s a mother of four and a co founder for a non profit organization. Her and her husband are very successful business people in this industry. She’d be happy to help you out. I suggest you look into something where there is both sides of it. Not just one. Broaden the opportunity.
She also created a blog on her yahoo page on Home based Business opportunities for on line and offline businesses. There are several different ones in different industries to take a look at and see which ones you think you’d be interested in. Also a lot of information that you should read about on home based businesses, blogs, reports, scams and the BBB, network marketing as well as MLM’s. It’s not too long, just some issues that people need to know in regards to businesses. Some things are eye openers. I think people should educate themselves on this. So many people are misinformed.

how has the internet transformed the way companies do marketing?
admin answers:
Well, here’s the short answer…
1. It’s a point of contact – like a telephone number. Sometimes it’s easier to get a URL out there than it is to get poeple a remember a phone number. Which is easier 212 445 8893 or www.lavalife.com
2. It’s a means to support existing clients, process payments and promote special offers etc to existing clients. Because this is so easy now it can be communicated to a client base quickly and in detail.
3. It’s a good point of reference for prices etc. – It means they can be updated on a day to day (or hour to hour) basis. This results in better revenue management, and supply demand price management. For example – you have an over supply of drivers in your taxi firm today – drop rates by 5% for today only and it will create more work. Not a great example, but you get the idea.
4. Online surveys keep track of customer satisfaction – very important. This enables marketers to head off trouble before it arises.
5. Email marketing to existing or new clients – huge possibilities there.
6. IM marketing – it’s here already. My company maintains IM contact throughout the day with key clients. By the time they know they need us, we’re already there.
Hope that gives you something to go on.
