Adventures
in Brainstorming
An Evolving

"I used my brainstorming
team as a focus group to get just the right wording for my survey question(s). The group was very diverse in their
professions, which made it even more valuable."

"I felt so supported and nurtured by the other women at my table; it was awe inspiring to see the BELIEF in my business coming from women I didn't know."

"I came with the question wanting names of organizations where I could speak and get paid. I had no idea that I would leave with so much more." 

"I was able to pursue new "warm" contacts that I received from my team on the train. They made sure I was connected through them-- I'm not that big on making cold calls. In addition, while I was on the phone with my new contacts, I was able to make new connections."

"As a single solo-preneur I don't typically work with anyone I can bounce ideas off of and I need someone outside of the profession. Your event provided me with a wide variety of professions to be able to gather all of the
feedback and ideas."

Introducing

Caroline Melberg of Melberg Marketing

How to Make YOUR Website Stand-Out

from the Online Crowd

It's no secret – over 73% of the purchases made today are preceded by an online search. 

If your website isn't ranking well with the search engines, it's like your business doesn't exist!

Come to this combination speaking/workshop and learn how to "Stand Out" online! 

You'll learn...

• the most important things the search engines look for when they determine
  where to rank your site online
• 3 things you can do to your website right away to improve your search engine ranking
• how to use Social Media sites like LinkedIn, Digg and YouTube to promote your website online
• and much more!

Your Interactive Experience:

Each table will break off into a team of 3.  Caroline will be giving you a worksheet to fill-in with your team, guiding you to your specific keywords to optimize your website.  Don't have a website? Come and build the groundwork for your future.  The website belongs to your company?  See if others' ideas for keywords actually match up to what your company "thinks" your prospects would seek out, then utilize social networking sites much more effectively by using YOUR specific keywords you've discovered!
