Internet pioneer and marketing expert Raphi Salem launches New York City seminar series to help local businesses and organizations. Seeks to help struggling companies and professionals out of work, find new clients and jobs.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE- January 18, 2012 - "The Internet and the online technical revolution most probably contributed indirectly to this economic mess we are currently experiencing. The good news is that the Internet and technology can definitely help us get out of it," said internationally renowned marketing expert Raphi Salem in announcing his plan to help boost the local New York City economy.
"Technology is cheaper than it's ever been. Buying a domain name, building a website and marketing it are really quite easy," Salem said. "All you really need is the time, desire and effort."
To give local businesses, organizations and professionals the power they need to jump start their online knowledge, SalemGlobal Internet is offering free marketing seminars in midtown Manhattan. The first seminar will be hosted by AXA Advisors at 1290 Avenue of the Americas on Thursday, February 2, 2012. 8:30-10am. To RSVP please contact info@salemglobal.com .

These seminars will teach anyone the fundamentals of website marketing with the goal of motivating businesses to start promoting themselves online and professionals how to do it themselves. The SalemGlobal Internet Website Marketing Seminar Series will focus on how to buy strategic domain names, where to host a website, how to write and upload content to a website, develop a linking strategy, conduct keyword research, implement meta data, write articles, construct and distribute interactive press releases, produce online videos (Youtube), use social media (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn), generate leads from Google, Bing and Yahoo local listings and pay per click advertising (PPC).
"My seminars will give local professionals powerful strategies and teach them the skills they need to compete with other businesses already online," Salem said. "In a matter of weeks to months, any professional can get a website to generate leads and convert visitors to sales, not to mention increase overall revenue or donations for non-profits."
Salem is reaching out to local businesses and professionals in the healthcare, real estate, auto, insurance and financial sectors, but of course all are welcome. In the past even other marketing and advertising agencies and firms have taken advantage of these free seminars. Salem will also make house calls and teach his formula for success to mostly any group that invites him, sharing his positive attitude and belief that they can really make a difference by using technology and the internet to get ahead.
"Working in this industry for the past 20 years has given me the confidence to truly state that we can pick up New York and get our economy moving again," Salem said. According to the online experts, the numbers make perfect sense:
