A Butcher, a Financial Planner and a Jeweler Walk into a Bar...

...No, it's not the opening line of a joke; it's actually what happened yesterday at our first Online Marketing Meet-up.

A butcher, a financial planner and a jeweler walk into a bar…

No, it’s not the opening line of a joke; it’s actually what happened yesterday at our first Online Marketing Meet-up. (finally came up with a name for it!) Thanks, again, to Bistro on Main for hosting us.

About 10 of us gathered for a couple hours to discuss all kinds of things related to online marketing - search engine optimization, social media marketing and website design.

The crowd ranged from a meat market and a couple financial planning firms to a jewelry/coin company and a radio station. And, man, did we have a great conversation.

Topics included…

  • Facebook hashtags 
  • Exporting LinkedIn contacts 
  • Launching a start up  
  • Yelp reviews 
  • Image alt tags, title tags and meta descriptions (all SEO terms) and how they affect a website being seen by Google 
  • Grabbing a website visitor’s attention quickly 
  • and much, much more!

The next Meet-up is scheduled for Tuesday, August 6, from 3-5pm. Mark your calendars and keep an eye out for location information. 

In the meantime, feel free to shoot any related questions to me at matt@joltcms.com. I’d be happy to help.
