Join us for an interactive presentation that will help you better understand the value of blogging and the benefits of podcasting.  For many, maintaining blogs and producing podcasts are uncomfortable thoughts. While there are many moving parts to each, these two tools are a must in today's communications tool box. A well thought-out podcast and blog calendar can help propel your marketing outreach and provide returns in traffic, sales, and visibility for pennies on the dollar. Following this session, participants will:
 
· Learn what a podcast is and how it can benefit a business.
· Understand what blogging is with respect to one's business, and how to blog with frequency.
· Recognize your audience needs and how to develop blog and podcast topics to reach your audience.
· Create a simple blog with graphics and understand the performance metrics.
· Create a workflow for a podcast and understand the steps to creating your first podcast.

This is a brown bag lunch and learn so bring your lunch if you choose!  Register by 9/12/18.

Welcome!

We will be meeting with professionals for networking and free education relating to finance and accounting.

This is for entrepreneurs, small businesses, and those who may think they need help with the financial end or back office functions of their business.   

We aren't CPA's... A CPA sits in the back seat looking backwards. We are in the front seat, forecasting and analyzing the road in front of us. Come join for intuitive business advice, contacts, and feedback... or just to pass out cards.

This will be cash bar, and food available to order.
