A good friend of mine, Joe Malinowski, is hosting a Blog Class on January 22nd and 27th, and I wanted to help ’spread the word’!
Joe’s class is broken up into two sessions:
-
SESSION ONE (Jan 22nd): Perfect for ‘newbies’ looking to explore the world of blogging, particularly as an affordable but powerful marketing tool for your small business. This session will last about 2 hours and will tell you how to choose a domain (i.e., your blog website name), your theme, how to get it hosted, how to write and edit your blog posts, etc. He will even walk you through some very cool “plug-ins” for your blog. (Not sure what a plug-in is? Don’t worry, he will go over this too!)
-
SESSION TWO (Jan 27th): Perfect for people who have already started their blogs and are now looking for ways to monetize it or grow more traffic to their site organically.
Both sessions will be at J Christophers on Dale Mabry from 11am-1pm, Click here for a map.
The cost to attend the class is very affordable, with sessions 1 and 2 costing just $30. The cost to attend just session 2 is $20.
The class is filling up fast since there were only 18 seats to begin with, so you should register soon online.

Still not sure? Here is a commercial which will go over the details as well. (If for some reason you have a problem with the link just type in Blog Class on You Tube and it is the 1st or second video)

Pleaase forgive me if you had high expectations for my first post. I just attended BlogOrlando yesterday, an “unconference” for the Central Florida blog community. It was quite educational, and it afforded me the opportunity to meet so many great bloggers right in my own backyard. What a wonderful, supportive community! I love forward to seeing these new relationships blossom over the next several months or years.
I have a weath of information and insights as it relates to helping grow small and mid-sized businesses, and I cannot wait to start sharing. I also welcome your comments and feedback.
More to come…stay tuned!
