On a roll!

[MrPhelps]

I had a meeting today with someone about getting set up to deliver the monthly "BizFlash" workshop to local Chamber members.

I had a rough idea of what she was looking for, but not very clear. It needs to be something of broad interest to small business owners.

So I sat down with MindJet MindMap last night and started with a post I made to my blog entitled "How Does A Web Presence Make Me Money?"

I thought about it a while, and stretched it into "7 Easy Ways A Web Presence Can Make You Money". It will be an 80 min presentation, and they typically have 80-120 people at each of these meetings every month.

David,

Congratulations on getting it going! You should see some very positive results with this presentation. I think you're tackling a very good topic for starters and you have a pretty sizable group to deliver your message to. I hope you get a good number of attendees signing up to work with you after your presentation.

If I were you, I would go with a lot of business cards and contracts!

Onward & Upward!

Great job David.

Working with the Chamber can do things for you.

Well done David.

These stories of the results of taking action arewhat people need to her to get motivated, get up and get going!

That's great, David!

Just wondering a bit about the title... some might think "I already have a website; don't need to attend this presentation." Maybe if you tweaked the title just a bit... perhaps "7 Easy Ways the RIGHT Web Presence Can Make You Money" or something similar? May interest people who already have websites, make them wonder if they're doing it right... in addition to interesting everyone who does NOT have a website. Know what I mean?

[MrPhelps]

Bonnie, I'd agree except that an overwhelming number of businesses who DO have websites are NOT profiting from them. They're a money pit.

Maybe that's a better approach:

"7 Easy Ways To Turn Your Website From a Money Pit Into An Annuity"

[ijohnson]

David,

How about:

"7 Ways to Turn Your Website from Being a Money Pit into a Cash Machine!"
"Turn Your Money Pit into a Cash Machine!"
"Turn Your Money Pit into a Cash Machine in 7 Easy Steps!"
"7 Ways to Turn Your Website into a Cash Machine!"

Hmmm... lots of good ideas, Iris & David... I'm sure you'll do great with the title that best suits your presentation's content.

Thinking along the lines of biz owners who spent a lot of money on their site to make it LOOK good (using Flash, fancy graphics and other useless stuff the designer sold them on), maybe something like: "7 Ways to Transform Your 'Pretty' Website into a PROFITABLE, Business-Building Machine!"

Let us know how your presentation goes, OK?

[MrPhelps]

Great ideas! Keep 'em coming!

The presentation is July 1st, so we've got some time to refine this. ;-)

I might just post it here for others to use afterwards.
