Own a small to mid size local business and are frustrated, overwhelmed or confused when it comes to marketing your business online?
I’ve just co-founded a new organization with my friends, and online marketing experts Bob and Josh Sommers, called the Main Street Marketing Community.
We created MSMC to be a trusted source of information for marketing your local business in the online world – whether you want to do it yourself or hire someone to do it for you.
We’ll be adding a ton of content over the coming weeks and months to the website including blog posts, a glossary of online marketing terms, how-to videos and more. And this information will be provided in plain English – no techno-babble allowed!
We’ll also have a forum where you can share your experiences with other business owners in the same boat as you as well as get your questions answered by our team of experts who volunteer their time to help.
On a local level, we’ve started scheduling Java Gyms (in Hawaii and St. Louis with more locations coming soon), which are free, 60 minute informal meeting held by local experts at a coffee shop (putting the “Java” in Java Gym). Each Java Gym focuses on one specific online marketing strategy that you can put to use for your business to generate traffic, leads and sales on the Internet. They are also all meat – no sales pitches or solicitations of any kind are allowed.
I’ve got two scheduled in the next few weeks in St. Louis. One on local search marketing and one on pay per click advertising. Attendance is free, but spots are limited so if you want to attend, be sure to reserve your spot. Here’s a link to the St. Louis Java Gym calendar where you can find the details on these events.
