			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Are you, like many people, wondering how to webcast live? </p>
<p>Webinars are intimidating to a lot of people; the technology used to host an online conference is often pricey or disappointing.  There is a lot of prep work that needs to be done.  The advanced preparations include preparation of the webinar material itself (with a service or product to promote), maybe establishing a joint venture relationship, promoting the webinar, and following up after the webinar.  Depending upon what the webinar is about (e.g. lead generation, or product/service sale), there may be the need for serious development here as well.</p>
<p>And so with all the work that needs to be done, it is not surprising that many people do not trend anywhere near them.  This is so even though so many online businesses have attended myriads of them (and so you probably have gotten them down pat&#8230;.at least subliminally) and fully understand the tremendous income potential presented by them.</p>
<p>The income comes not only from the sales made during the webinar but afterwards when the webinar is repurposed into an ebook or broken into a video course etc.</p>
<p>Yes, there is a lot to do&#8230;.but you do not need to fret (too much;).  The best ways to not only get started but to actually launch a webinar is to break it down into small steps and give yourself plenty of time to develop the content (even the content needs to be broken down into steps).  </p>
<p>When you take incremental action, you will feel very accomplished.  This is a &#8220;feel good&#8221; moment that leads to taking more action.  As long as you proceed as a person who is able to enjoy the process and not one that is bent on getting the impossible done in too little time, you will find that doing a webinar (and many other marketing activities as well) are doable.</p>
<p>The good news about doing a webinar is that there is little downside.  Even if few people attend (or even no one at all), you gain a lot of experience.  You can also record your webinar and give it away as free content to prospects.  You could even try to sell it.</p>
<p>The biggest downsides when learning how to do live webcasting are time, energy and money spent.  You can minimize the amount of money invested in a webinar by using highly affordable tools (there are various conferencing services of varying quality on the web).</p>
<p>In order to minimize the amount of time and money spent, you should utilize a webinar program that provide lots of training and support.</p>
<p>Is it possible to combine time, energy and money savings in one webinar provider.  Fortunately, the answer is yes.  </p>
<p>A new company that offers savings on all three of these factors is launching January 2012.  Early adopters can benefit by locking in the best prices and also&#8230;if so desired&#8230;.benefiting as affiliates.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>•	Is your business hard pressed for money?<br />
•	Short on time?<br />
•	Short on know-how?<br />
•	Filled with good intentions but can’t get started?</p>
<p><em>Your competition is not stopping to let you catch up. The time has come to:<br />
Quit procrastinating.  Start creating and increasing online sales. </em></p>
<p><strong>If you are serious about your business, you need to be serious about SEO.</strong></p>
<p>Despite the urgent need to have strong online presences, many businesses have fallen behind the curve.  Many have amateur and dated looking sites or even no website at all.  Most do not have an SEO program in place.<br />
There is little chance that these types of sites will produce serious income for their owners.  The owners of these sites have given up.<br />
They have given up before even getting started.  Why?<br />
The increased online competition has priced them out of the SEO ranking game…until now.<br />
We have been listening to the concerns of small businesses and we have created:<br />
<strong>A truly affordable and effective SEO for business program</strong></p>
<p>Most website marketing companies offer programs starting from$500 to several thousands of dollars per month; essentially eliminating small businesses from entering the starting gate.<br />
EeeSquare.com also has comprehensive higher priced plans but now we have also put together a comprehensive program that can’t be beat.  It will help put your small business on the Google radar screen.</p>
<p><strong><br />
SEO Rankings for your business </strong></p>
<p>Your Affordable SEO for Website package includes 2 New Online Sites:</p>
<p>•	Creation and hosting of a professional website for your company<br />
•	A second search engine friendly webpage featured article in our business directory (to help your business command more online real estate). This will be a robust second site that points back to your main website.<br />
•	Monthly maintenance of both your new custom website and featured directory article webpage; no more worries about having any outdated sites that are not search engine friendly.<br />
•	2 monthly SEO promotions of your website and your featured article webpage. These activities include:<br />
o	Video creation and distribution<br />
o	Press release<br />
o	Backlink building to high page rank sites<br />
o	Backlink building to .edu and .gov sites<br />
o	Social bookmarking<br />
o	Social media setup and building<br />
o	Article creation and distribution</p>
<p>Unlike website creation services that charge a bundle for making a website which then remains useless and lost in cyberspace, we are an SEO firm and our program works to get you found.</p>
<p>Our goal is to get and keep your business by providing search marketing services that get you results. We are dedicated to your success.<br />
Because we know that there is a lag effect in real SEO, we want to make this program robust but also as affordable as possible so that you continue your program, do not give up and get the success you desire.<br />
<strong>Cue from the Forex Market</strong></p>
<p>We have taken our cue from the Forex mini contracts.  Now small businesses can have the power of effective SEO delivered in smaller more affordable packages.<br />
Instead of thousands of dollars per month or even the $500 entry level, our affordable SEO plan (including the creation and updating of a professional website and featured directory article webpage) is only half the typical entry amount.</p>
<p><strong>$250 per month</strong></p>
<p>This includes the creation of 2 sites, monthly hosting and maintenance and 2 SEO activities per site (4 total SEO activities) per month.<br />
If you already have a website, we will provide 2 monthly SEO activities each to the featured article webpage and your existing site for a discounted $200 per month.<br />
Wow….that is some SEO offer.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Link diversity is a must-do if you want to achieve dominance in the search engines.  Since the Google Panda update series at the beginning of 2011, diversifying links has now become more important than ever before.  The links that you seek should be from a mixture of trusted domains and quality pages. It should reflect a natural link building process.  Google considers building with automated linking tools to be “black hat”.<br />
A natural link building strategy also uses a variety of keyword phrases or even at times no keywords at all.  Think about it….in a natural linking process…people are not always inclined to include anchor text with the optimum keyword when linking to your site.  The words that are used will vary and sometimes people will just use the URL from your site.  This is a great reason to embed the keyword phrase in the page URL; this is especially easy to do with your Word Press posts and pages.<br />
Another thing to consider when seeking to a diversified link building strategy is to link to domains that are on different IP addresses.  It looks rather suspicious when the domains linking to you are all located on the same server.  This is reminiscent of the old days when all it took to rank was to build an online fortress with a million subdomains linking back to oneself.  Google has been on to that one for a while.<br />
Here is a list of sites that will lend diversity to your link building (listed in an approximate order of greater mix proportion):</p>
<ul>
<li>Websites<br />
Blogs<br />
Social Networks<br />
Article Marketing Directories<br />
Directories of other Types<br />
EDU/GOV/ORG Sites<br />
Wiki Sites<br />
Social Bookmarking Sites<br />
Review Sites</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>What is cost recovery?  Consider the following:</p>
<p>I bet your business would just love to discover that it has over payed the IRS and is due a big, fat refund.  Dream on?  Maybe not.  There have been so many tax incentives that have been added to the IRS code since the landmark Hospital Corporation of America victory against the IRS in 1997 that it is hard to keep up.  Many of the tax incentives, added via economic stimulus legislation, are so specialized and require so much expertise (e.g. requiring engineering expertise) that even most CPAs are not able to keep up.</p>
<p>But wait&#8230;.there is hope and it is actually more than that&#8230;it is actually pretty exciting.  During these hard economic times, many companies are actually increasing their cash flow (average &#8220;found&#8221; money is around $225,000&#8230;.with some firms exceeding that many times), reducing their expenses (e.g. property taxes, insurance premiums and energy expenses) and re-cooping the money spent on purchasing commercial property. </p>
<p>Even if you have heard of terms such as cost segregation study, comprehensive energy management, cost recovery system, cost recovery method, ESCO and so forth&#8230;.this is not the time to roll your eyes and say it is not for you.  As many as 80-90% of manufacturing businesses and businesses with larger commercial holdings have substantial &#8220;hidden money&#8221;.  A CPA who has done a cost seg for you, is likely to have only done a summary version.</p>
<p>Why?  Because a regular CPA does not have the engineering expertise to do a full fledged cost segregation study.   So what is the answer?</p>
<p>The really great news is that you can find out what your business qualifies for without any cost to your business&#8230;.that is right&#8230;.a free feasibility study.  If money cannot be found there is no cost to your business.  If it is found, a sort of finder&#8217;s fee is charged&#8230;..in the fee to benefit ratio of 1:10 or even 1:15. </p>
<p>In order to qualify for the free feasibility study, you need to have some of the following qualifications: commercial property purchased for more than $500,000(without the land), $350,000 in leasehold improvements, a payroll of $500,000 or greater and the list goes on &#8230;..depends on what niche incentive you are seeking.  Energy cost reduction incentives should be checked out today&#8230;not only because of the reduction in expense but because stricter and mandatory compliance is coming down the pipeline (really soon).</p>
<p>The answer is to email or call me.  EeeSquare is now a partnered with a national engineering/tax/legal consulting firm that specializes in these niche tax markets.  They will provide a free feasibility study to determine the probable amount of cash refund that your business will get as well as other ways to reduce expenses. This firm has a remarkable track record because they are engineering/IRS experts&#8230;.they have had zero disallowances with the IRS and put millions of dollars back in the pockets of the businesses who earned it (it is even endorsed by the IRS as a lucrative strategy).</p>
<p>Contact Lori@EeeSquare.com or call 877.265.6568 to find out if your business should have a free feasibility study&#8230;..why not?  The money you stand to gain through cost recovery may be quite substantial.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>When marketing, small businesses need to be aware of what is important to their clients. There are innumerable ways to uncover what a client wants.  Despite best efforts, it is often times quite tricky to discover if clients are “telling the truth”.  Although it may indeed seem that clients are very adept at misleading or keeping things “close to the vest”, the reasons for lack of transparency may in fact be because clients do not fully understand their needs, do not recognize them or do not understand the services at hand. </p>
<p>It is always a big mistake for sales personnel to overwhelm clients with all the “bells and whistles” features.  Often this is just too many details, that clients do not want to hear and it just complicates the decision making process.  Clients want to know what benefits will be delivered to them; i.e. what pain is being solved or how will life be improved.  This is “natural law”; a.k.a. “what’s in it for me?”</p>
<p>When a consultant or sales person keeps this basic law in the forefront, they will help the client….because they will help them to fully understand what their problems are and if these can be solved by what is being offered.  When this understanding is established, then features will become more important.</p>
<p>The human brain operates this way. We all have a tendency to find, listen to, acknowledge and agree with information that already supports what we want.  Thus, prospects/clients will be more apt to listen to features because they will support the decision that has already been made (agreement with the benefits).</p>
<p>The bottom line…..when marketing to small businesses, clients follow the “law of natural order”.  Always help them figure out what is in it for them….and the rest will follow.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>If your business is still reluctant to fully engage in social media; think again.  According to Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, it is about the future of social commerce is about to explode.  The opportunities that exist for small businesses are great&#8230;it is important not to miss out.  Often, however, what to do and how to do it are obstacles that small businesses do not know how to overcome; they remain stagnant instead of taking the necessary action. They often wait until they have the time&#8230;.well, when an explosion is about to happen, waiting is not the answer;) The most reasonable and cost effective solution is to outsource SEO and outsource social media.  Get it done right and get it done today.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Here are some quick facts:</p>
<p>In April of 2011, more than 16 billion searches were conducted with approximately 69% of them taking place on Google (19% on Yahoo, and 13% on Bing).  The tremendous increase in local search is being driven by the strong growth in smartphone web browsing.  There is tremendous opportunity for local businesses and regional brands to capitalize on this trend.</p>
<p>Advertising revenue for local search is hitting record highs along with this vigorous interest.  It is estimated that it will grow to $8.2 billion in just 4 years (38% growth or a compound annual growth of 10%).  </p>
<p>It is also expected that during the same time, a shift in search will be occurring; i.e. 30% of all search will concern a local-related query.</p>
<p>This should be a real heads up to small businesses; many of whom still do not have any online presence (what’s with that?).  The usual excuses of don’t know what to do, can’t find time, overwhelmed, budget etc. are just that….excuses….which will leave the excuse-making small business in the dust.  The time to act is now and the best way to do it is to outsource SEO and social media.  It stream lines the whole process and is very cost effective.  Outsourcing these tasks has become a necessary fact of life that will keep small business in the game.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>The Panda update certainly hit a lot of sites very hard but the fact that many sites got a bounce from it should not be overlooked.  This means that there are lessons to be gleaned from what distinguished these sites from those that dropped.</p>
<p>Google has continues to maintain that relevant, quality content is what it likes to see. It is now more important than ever to create unique content.  If you are not a writer, then have someone do it for you but you must make a commitment to creating it on a regular basis.  Websites with stale, poor quality and/or duplicate content will no longer fare well online.</p>
<p>Having video content is also very important.  It is something that users enjoy and it will increase your website rankings.  Distributed video content is a great way to send links back to your site.  A great way to engage your viewers is to keep videos short (around 2 minutes) and create a themed series.</p>
<p>Blog, blog, blog….this may sound old and trite but it is a very important tool…as long as you are producing unique content.  For many this sounds like a formidable task…but it is actually not as hard as it may seem.  Whatever your area of interest, there is bound to be news or topics that can be discussed in a new and fresh way; just add your insights and opinions.  Your readers will appreciate getting your interpretation of events. As a general rule of thumb, blog posts should be at least 300 or more words to be considered quality pieces by Google.</p>
<p>Be sure to be involved in Social Media sites since Google is not using them as an indicator for evaluating you and your sites (e.g. content).  You must update your sites regularly to make it worthwhile.  If you blog regularly you can use Posterous to distribute your content to all of your social media accounts.  But be sure to actively engage your social media followers as well.  Do this by conversing with them and never be overtly promotional (this is considered rude and obnoxious).</p>
<p>Remember that the other search engines do not adhere to the Google algorithms so that your site’s standings on these engines are not impacted by Panda.  It just goes to show that a diversified SEO program and online marketing strategies are more important than ever.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>The 2011 Google I/O Meeting is Open Today&#8230;.Will the Google OS system be launched&#8230;.exciting times!</p>
