Running a small business can be challenging enough with the economic situation we face.How far could you grow your business if one of your staff members had the Internet marketing training to create a profitable presence on the web?

A staff member in your organization could skyrocket your business with the knowledge of blogging, article writing, web design, e-commerce, video marketing and online advertising. For a small investment in training, your small business could reach new heights of revenue by tapping into the ever growing marketing that the web provides.

Companies large and small are developing a vast web presence to reach their targeted customers, because that's where the customers are. Whether they are on their phones, surfing the web at home, hanging out on Facebook or researching information, a business that has an effective web presence gets a larger share of the business than one that doesn't.

Training a trusted staff member in Internet marketing is the best investment your company can make to insure that you have the tools necessary to compete in today's high tech world. Find out now how the training of the future is just a phone call away.

Internet Marketing Jobs: Is Your Staff J.O.B. Unsatisfying?

Posted on October 13, 2010 by Tom Antion

Is working for someone else ungratifying?

The World of Work 2010 report from Randstad found that half of all employees feel their skills are underused and around 10% have been forced to take up work that did not make full use of their abilities. People are looking for work outside the job that may better utilize their talents, not just for the extra income but for the satisfaction.

Justin Myers, a freelance editor and consultant, was first pushed to self-employment through redundancy. After taking a few months off to “get his head together”, Justin started freelancing with some shifts at an online newsdesk. Now he's working on two distinct projects and enjoys the lifestyle.

“Being your boss is a magical feeling; you feel really empowered and I love having responsibility for myself. Additionally, being a consultant, I've found that clients really value my opinion and input. I don't think you get that perceived level of confidence when you're in a staff job.”

Pursuing employment with online training, whether for yourself or getting a better job elsewhere, starts with a school you can trust. A school with a staff that have put into place the real world skills that it takes to make money. The Internet Marketing Training Center is the resource you need to make an impact on a tough job market. An impact that you can trust to make your life more fun and interesting….

Are you new to Internet Marketing? Don't worry, IMTC can help you too! Even if you do not have any websites yet, we can offer training customized for you.

Let's talk about domain names. Should you have your own domain name? If you have your own domain name, you can move and be hosted anywhere around the world and people will still be able to find you through all of your promotional efforts.

Having your own domain name gives you greater credibility. Domains and hosting are so cheap, there is no excuse in not having your own.

Also, if you have a good domain name, you can sell it. The domain name can be a valuable entity for you in the future.

Should you avoid dashes in your domain name? Yes, search engines are smart and they do not need the words to be separated. Dashes could hurt you, someone will forget to type it in and they will end up at one of your competitor's sites.

See what you can learn at IMTC! Tom Antion is a master at Internet marketing and he has a way of explaining it in a simple, easy to understand format.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Work from Home: Leave that Dead End Job and Make Money Sitting On Your Butt

Posted on September 29, 2010 by Tom Antion

There was a time when you were excited about your new job. Your hopes were high. You had a little extra money in your pocket. No, you wouldn’t be doing the type work you always dreamed of, but it was a job and it meant that you were going places — that you had a future with a decent company.

Time is slipping away and now you realize there is very little chance that you will ever be promoted to a higher paid position with the company. It’s hard to face, but yes, you are in a dead end job. Maybe it’s time for a change. But what will you do?

If you find yourself in that position, think back to projects you have worked on over the years and jot down the ones that you have enjoyed the most. Include both work- related and personal projects. Then, ask what was it about those projects that you liked. Also list the new skills that you want to learn.

For instance, you have always liked using computers and surfing the Internet. You designed a website for your best friend and you even taught your sister how to blog. Several of your friends have asked you to show them how to build their online store.

These are projects you liked to do. Now think about the skills that you want to learn. Do you want to learn how to create videos to post on YouTube? Do you want to learn how to optimize your website so search engines will give you high rankings? Do you want to learn copywriting so you can write e-mail promotions? Do you want to develop products to sell on your website? At the Internet Marketing Training Center (IMTC), you can be trained in these Internet marketing skills online from the comfort of your home on your own time.

Sound fun and exciting? Maybe it is time to expand your skills so you can leave that dead end job and make money sitting on your butt at home in front of your computer. Learn more about the Internet Marketing Training Center and how it can help shape your future at http://imtcva.org/career/

I'll bet by now there isn't anyone on Earth that hasn't seen a Youtube video.

People watch over 2 billion videos a day on Youtube and every minute over 24 hours of footage is uploaded. Not only is Youtube a fun place to just hang out and watch your favorite vids, it's a great place to learn stuff. If I want to learn to run a certain software program or even how to repair my car, I search Youtube for the answers. It's much easier to watch a video than to try and follow along in some document. The people who submit videos to Youtube come from all walks of life and varied age groups including 10 year old kids submitting skateboarding tricks to serious college students making independent films. But one group of video makers are growing faster than all of the rest…. companies.

From Target to Apple to BlendTec, companies large and small are using videos to market their products and services. Videos can create a brand name, answer customer service issues, advertise specials and just plain entertain the millions of people a day watching on Youtube. Video marketing has become one of the most cutting edge and powerful tools in a company's strategy to advertise themselves and they pay good money to make and market these videos. This opens up a huge opportunity for you to get in on the ground floor of a new career field.

If this interests you, you have the whole world in front of you. And a distance learning education school such as IMTC can be the ticket to your new career.
