We are excited to see your interest in the Building Your Website and Internet Presence training. We promise you that this will be loaded with information. It will be a launching pad for your success on the internet.

Being successful on the internet is possible for any website, but it does take some discipline and commitment. The best websites are ones that provide quality information that people need. However, if you follow the principles of marketing, just like a snowball, it will begin slowly and then build. Literally within a few months or with the first year you could easily have a thriving population . . . if you follow important principles, build a solid foundation, and then consistently add quality content. Once it is going, it does not have to consume your time, but it will take some time to get it going, and you should commit yourself to that process.

There are two parts to our training series: the Teleseminars and the Webinars. All Telesiminars and all Webinars are recorded and stored on the UpstartLiftoff.com website. http://www.upstartmediamarketing.com/category/teleseminar/

The teleseminars are open to everyone. They explain the “what to do”. These calls are specifically packed with important information and details that I had to figure out over the years. We explain what technologies we have chosen to use and why. If you follow the information in these calls, it will likely save you hours of research work. The last few minutes of each call is reserved for a Q/A session.

The webinars require more expensive technology. These are open to UpstartLiftoff members. The webinars show “how to do”. We demonstrate the more difficult tasks that you will run up against when building a website. These webinars are designed to give UpstartLiftoff Members a Quick-start to building a thriving website. You can learn more about the UpstartLiftoff hosting / training / co-operative community here.
