Huh. The very fact that I cannot figure out whether or not this reply area constitutes the MBO "group message board" should serve as a clear indication of my dire need for your educational offerings. As Director of Marketing for a large central Indiana nonprofit, I know we are (I am) well past the witching hour for getting on board that speeding "Social Network" express train. In short, we are not utilizing online marketing efforts and I know it is effecting our agency adversely. We need to reach younger volunteers...We need to garner younger donors...and I, most definitely, need your expertise in order to help my agency find -- and capture! -- these young moving targets. Would I like to attend your MBO conference? Oh, yeah. Would my CEO love for me to win a free ticket? You betcha!

I am a consultant, trainer, speaker and writer with a focus on ecommerce. I've been helping small businesses market their products and services online since 1997. I've participated in online marketing from banner ads and email spam, to the current PPC and social media focus, and everything in between. The online world changes fast, so I need to continually stay up to date. It’s not a matter of how online marketing affects my business, online marketing is my business.
Most of my clients are outside Indiana. Lately I have put more of a focus on local networking to build a local client base. SmallerIndiana.com, Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn have helped me to change my focus to local, but I really need to learn from local experts to reach an optimal online marketing balance.
