Member Teleclass: Get Found Now! Search Engine Optimization Secrets Exposed! with local search marketing expert, Shannon Evans

May 18, 2010

Format: Simulcast! (Attend via Phone or Webcast -- it's your choice)

Time: 2 PM Eastern (New York) time

Members of OnlineBizU.com:  Call-in details and URL available in Weekly Member Update email found in the Member Discussion Forum.

Your company website is the foundation of your business and your online brand. Just showing up doesn’t get you as far as it used to online, as there is more to search engine optimization than website design and marketing.

In this presentation you will learn ways to:

• attract more customers to your site using the right keywords
• optimize your social media profile and messages for search
• improve Internet "findability," overall web presence, and search rankings

There’s an awful lot of information out there on what to do to stand out. It isn’t practical for most of us to keep up with it, let alone evaluate it and execute on it. Up to now if you didn’t have the time or expertise to assimilate all of this information, you paid someone else to do it – an ongoing expense that is either out of reach or a significant burden for professionals and small organizations.

This teleclass is designed to help you gain a firm understanding of how you can meet your online objectives of generating leads and sales while building your brand awareness. Remember, how well you prepare your online presence has a direct impact on how easily you are found by customers and how well your business does.

About Shannon Evans:

Shannon Evans, author of multiple business books, has more than 20 years experience in developing tools and instruction for businesses and universities. As a social media and search engine marketing consultant she is focused on providing practical solutions to promote products and services on line. Shannon helps business owners find and use the best tools for their business and their customers using the most cost-effective methods.

Shannon has a wide background in both practical and the pragmatic aspects of the business world. As Co-founder of Practical Local Search she loves nothing better than teaching local businesses how to think globally but to be searched locally. When not writing or teaching she can be found coaching boys’ lacrosse, biking, fishing or clamming somewhere in the Seattle area.

Does the thought of creating sales pages make you shudder?

So much so that you don’t even create a sales page? You just put some information about your product or service up on your website and hope people are compelled to buy it? (This works fine for catalogs where you are buying "stuff," but it doesn’t work well at all for transformational products and services.)

Maybe you dread the process of creating a sales page and feel confused about what to put on your page – wondering all along if you are either "selling your soul" in your marketing or "not embracing selling enough." And you worry you won’t be successful in selling your products or enrolling in your programs. What a catch-22! D****d if you do or d****d if you don’t!

Or perhaps you’ve made peace with creating sales pages, but you feel exhausted just thinking about all the components and wish you just had a system and a checklist to make it easier and faster!

What is a conscious, spiritual entrepreneur who wants to change the world to do?

The problem is that most heart-centered entrepreneurs feel that sales pages are, well, too sales-y. Too masculine. Too in-your-face. Not in alignment with the passionate, purposeful business owner you are.

It doesn't have to be that way. In this teleclass, you'll discover:

• What is possible for you when you embrace creating heart-based sales pages for the sake of helping your  potential clients - sales pages that work are no less spiritual than slapping up your information and playing small. In fact, playing small and NOT learning how to create sales pages with integrity is not coming from your divine power.
• 5 traps that heart-centered entrepreneurs fall into which stop you from even creating a sales page or creating ones that are boring, lifeless, and small and that don't attract clients or make you money.
• How feminine qualities (yes, guys, even for you!) can actually help you create a "kick-skirt" sales page - it's not all about the traditional masculine in your face and aggressive sales tactics.
• Laura's biggest secret for jump-starting your sales page creation process to put YOU on a successful path
• 3 Things You Can Do Right Now To Get Better Response from Your Sales Pages - all with integrity and heart!

If you want creating sales pages to be easy as well as a delightful way to connect with your potential clients and give them access to the products and services you've developed to help them, then you need to join us for this call!
