LinkedIn Buzz call recording and LinkedIn's PR Rep, Erin O'Harra,
led a super informative session.
As the 2nd Place Winner for

all things LinkedIn yet I still benefited a great deal by
listening to this hour long session…and now my clients will

Presented by Miriam Salpeter of Keppie Careers, and author of Social
Networking for Career Success; and Laura Labovich of Aspire! Empower!

These two industry

SEO FOR WORDPRESS POWER BLOGGERS - Tuesday, 9/18/12
Presented by Karen Callahan,
Adventures
Online
No
longer be one of those bloggers lost in the search engines because they
“don’t know what they don’t know”. Be the blogger that soars to the top
of the search results pages because you take advantage of the SEO
opportunities available to you every time you write a post!
The purpose of this
teleclass is to
shed light on the power that everyday bloggers have to
influence how the search engines perceive them and where
the search engines offer them (list their blogs) as viable choices to
prospects doing searches.
You will learn how to help Google understand who you are and what you
do. Think Jerry Maguire…The scene where Tom Cruise is begging,
“Help me help you!…“ Well, Cruise is Google, and you are Cuba Gooding
Jr., the football player who holds the key to helping himself. After
this teleclass, you will be aware of many opportunities you have to help
Google figure out who you are and what your blog is about so that Google
correctly categorizes your blog and presents it on search engine results
pages to highly targeted audiences. You will understand the places where
you can add SEO, the recommended components for successfully doing full,
DIY-SEO on each post, the components that Google considers most
important, how to keep yourself focused, and more.
Prerequisites: All members are welcome, but this will be jumping right
in to the WordPress dashboard, so hands-on familiarity with WordPress
will be a plus.

MORE TESTIMONIALS
"I just wanted to take a moment to
rave about the F*REE teleseminar on Prospering Despite a Downturn Market.
To think I almost missed the
call! My head is spinning since the call ended. I wish I had been
more prepared to take notes, because the ideas that were suggested
were nothing short of brilliant. I honestly did not want the call to
end. In short, I learned easy ways to increase my exposure in the
market- place during a market downturn, without spending a lot of
money or dumping my last dollar into advertising. I think this could
be a 10-part series, and I know that I wouldn't miss a single one.
What a great class ... thank you!"
- Laura Labovich,
A & E Consulting, LLC

“Thank you, thank you, thank you for
offering FREE teleseminars through CDI. I’ve found the calls extremely
professional, insightful, and jam packed with valuable information. I’ve
paid for many a teleseminar and received far less ROI. CDI makes a huge
difference! Kudos for offering great topics and exceptional presenters.”
- Sari Neudorf, SDN Consulting * * * * *
“I had to write and thank you for the fantastic teleclass:
Overcoming Your Money Hang-ups. Every CDI teleclass I’ve done so far
has been extremely helpful and relevant to my career as a resume
writer, but this one was a revelation…it blew my socks off! So thank
you so much for this amazing teleclass. I know it will affect me in
many areas of my life from now on. It would have been worth twice
what I paid for my yearly CDI membership, only it was free! So thank
you...”
- Lorraine Wright, 21st Century

“Laura, as the host of CDI’s monthly free telecalls, you manage
these conversations so well – and your brand is so pleasing,
welcoming and real – we’re lucky to have you as a our fearless
leader. Thanks!”
– Jean Cummings, A Resume For Today

"I am a huge fan of the CDI
teleclasses.
Initially, I started
listening in as a networking tool to meet other career
professionals. I have quickly discovered that CDI teleclasses are
having a profound impact on my business. I hang up from every
teleclass with at least one nugget of information that I can share
with clients. More importantly, each call has provided me with at
least one money making idea to help grow my business. For a new
company, revenue is everything.
I can honestly say that
these teleclasses have paid for the annual membership dues."
- Laura Labovich, A & E Consulting, LLC

“Many thanks for today's
Next Practices call ... and all the others I've been privileged to
attend. I love the give-and-take of these conversations. Lots of
valuable information from "the front lines," from multiple perspectives,
offering thoughtful information and advice. Please keep up the good
work!”
– Debbi O’Reilly,

"I really loved the
call today with the four experts (Janice, Laura, Audrey and you). It was
really and truly eye-opening to hear everyone's take on client service
and boundaries.
I learned a tremendous
amount. I know I'm already a huge CDI ambassador, but my goodness, it's
truly amazing what you offer the members for FREE! Amazing."
