The Friday Roundup

Posted on 04. Sep, 2009 by David Wolf.

For a site that’s been around for about a week, it’s gratifying to see the number of people that are already falling in love with what we offer. In fact, we’ve gotten a ton of positive reviews on our free webinars.

But, don’t keep all the goodness to yourself. Let others know! This type of site only works when lots and lots of people come to watch the webinars and read the content of the blog. The more readers/attendees, the more stuff we’re able to do for free.

Anyways; this week at SmugSchool…

• Our kick-off event was a 2 hour intro to SmugMug. Almost 100 people attended. An amazing turnout considering we had only advertised the webinar for less than a week prior to the event!
• SEO Primer was our 2nd webinar, and lasted for an hour. A respectable 60 or so people showed up to it at 10AM. I actually wonder if the date/time had something to do with the lower turnout, or if people don’t understand just why SEO is as important as it is! Great feedback though and a number of people already signed up for my full SEO Unleashed workshop on Sept 16.
• We just recently announced that Nikolai, the creator of Star*Explorer will take our stage and talk about his uploader for SmugMug. I’ve used it since I got my first SmugMug account. He’ll be with us Sept 17 at 6PM Pacific.
• It was my Birthday on Sept 3, so I gave everyone a birthday present Now, my whole family was sick yesterday (really.. I’m being honest. This isn’t a marketing gimmick!), and they said, “When we’re better, we’ll celebrate your birthday properly!” On the day my family actually celebrates my birthday, I’m going to be giving away another birthday present to my followers. Here are some ways to ensure you don’t miss the birthday gift!
  1. Make sure you’re following me on Twitter
  2. Post comments to this article
  3. Add yourself to my mailing list
  4. Keep checking this blog daily!

And a special mention:

• Peter Garr has thoughtfully donated about 20 photos for us to use on the site and during webinars. His wedding photos are gorgeous!

Happy Birthday to Me! (But, the gifts are for you)

SEO Unleashed is the most anticipated Webinar SmugSchool has offered yet!

Don’t miss learning the secrets no one wants you to know. We’ll give you code for your SmugMug site, show how to SEO your blog, understand Analytics, and so much more!

With over 13 years of professional experience working with computers, and as the leading SmugMug expert in the world, I’ll show YOU how to do stuff that no one else can do. You will profit from my knowledge, and use Social networks to attract new business.

This is a FIVE HOUR live web event. This will be the best, more informative, more eye-opening webinar you’ve ever attended. We’re going to help you unleash your web sites’ potential and help you to MAKE MORE MONEY!

My background:

• Over 13 years experience as a professional network engineer. I am a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer and Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator
• I personally built Wolf Snap Designs and SmugSchool from the ground up into the businesses they are today. I spent almost NO money on advertising to do it! Almost all my business came from Organic searches and word of mouth; things that YOU’LL learn to do too!
• We are the largest SmugMug customizers in the world. Lots and lots and lots of happy clients.

Every Webinar we’ve done so far has had GLOWING reviews.

Our SEO Unleashed Webinar event costs just $1500.00 to attend. Consider for a moment what you spend on advertising in the phone book, flyers, etc.. Then, realize that after taking my webinar, you’ll be able to obtain fresh clicks, new leads and placement on Google for *FREE*. This webinar will SAVE YOU MONEY!

But wait! There’s more! Sign up before 11:59pm PDT September 3, and as my birthday present to YOU (no, really.. Sept 3 IS REALLY my birthday!), take $500 off the registration fee! That’s only $1000.00 for a full 5-hour webinar! I’ll even give you code that you can copy and paste into your SmugMug website to improve your ranking and Google description immediately!

But, this offer expires 11:59pm PDT Sept 3. One minute later, and you’ll be spending an extra $500 on this webinar.

One more thing… Sign up before the deadline on Sept 3, and we’ll let you transfer your registration to ANY OTHER DATE we schedule for our Webinar! So, if the weekday webinars don’t work for you, you can choose to transfer to a weekend webinar. It’ll have the same content, just a more convenient time.

Don’t delay. Sign up today!
