Marketing Melodie

I heard about the Weekend U Networking/ Introduction event that took place on March 16th and decided to stop by after work. All I knew is that Weekend U was a class to educate people on the internet. At first I wasn’t sure I was the right candidate for Weekend U since I already work in the Internet industry but I quickly learned that the course empowers internet users of all levels.

After a bit of networking, Dmitry Shapiro, an Internet Entrepreneur who most notably founded Veoh Networks took the stage and immediately captured my attention with teasers of powerful information he’d reveal during Weekend U. I was impressed by the myriad of topics he touched on that are essential to our internet success yet ignored by many.

Just a few of the many tools Dmitry will help you master:

• Use Google search differently to pinpoint detailed answers instantly on the web, without wading through pages of search results
• Always be the first to know about industry and competitive news as soon as it hits, before your boss, co-workers and partners
• Ask for, and receive, virtually instant help from 10s of thousands of people using social networks, for referrals to a prospective customer, input on selecting a vendor, references on a partner and other daily business challenges
• Immediately have an unfair advantage through information, speed and productivity over your co-workers, competitors and even your friends

By the end of Dmitry’s presentation I was eager to learn more and couldn’t wait to start sharing this opportunity. Going back to my new year’s career resolution to incorporate Online Marketing Eduction to help others I’m empowering 1 lucky Marketing Melodie reader with a complimentary pass to attend the Power Internet Marketing course.
