Sign up now for my week-long Web Marketing and Social Media workshop

I'm really enthused to share that I've been working with Boulder Digital Arts on a certification program in Web marketing and social media and the first week-long workshop is coming up in about a month. It's June 28-July 2, and it'll be here in Boulder at the terrific BDA facility.

Here's what I'll be covering:

"In this one-of-a-kind program you will be immersed into the world of web marketing from one of the smartest and most experienced expert in the industry! In one week you'll be introduced to proven strategies for growing your online audience with qualified traffic. You'll learn the fundamental principals and insider tips for search engine optimization, pay-for-placement advertising, social media marketing and other more. This program will give you the knowledge and skills necessary to provide these immensely valuable and in-demand services for all organizations who need to grow their online audiences - all in one week and one place."

In a nutshell, my plan is to have a very hands-on intensive week of teaching you how to really work the modern Web to promote your business and services, all within the context of best practices and completely ethical techniques.

What we won't work on is "how to get a ton of followers" or "how to game search engines" but instead to focus on how to build your brand, gain trust and authority, and create an online community of fans that are ready and eager to purchase what you're selling.

I've taught a ton of workshops, seminars and even offered keynote talks to a wide variety of groups, but this is the first time in a very long time that I'm offering a week-long hands-on event. If you've wanted to work with me in the past, this is a splendid opportunity to come out and enjoy beautiful Boulder, Colorado and gain a ton of practical, actionable ideas and techniques to help grow your business.

I hope to see you there. Oh, and no, we won't be videotaping it or streaming it live on the Internet. This is a hands-on workshop where you'll want to be working with me for the week to ensure you gain the maximum benefit possible.
