Mike Alvear's Urge & Merge

Learn how to start a blog, or make the one you’ve got better. Whether you’re a beginner who doesn’t know where to start or a blogger who doesn’t know how to get to the next level, our monthly Atlanta blogging seminar show you how.

If you’re unemployed, under-employed or worried about your job, there’s no better way to survive the recession than becoming an authority in your field…THROUGH BLOGGING. Imagine the VP of Widget International deciding between two finalists. You’ve got a blog called “Market Your Widgets” and the other candidate doesn’t. Who wins?

If you’re an author there’s no better platform than a blog for book sales, speaking engagements, workshops, seminars…and positioning yourself for the next book.

Huffington Post blogger Mike Alvear and Atlanta Magazine columnist (and blogger) Hollis Gillespie show you how to start a blog or improve the one you’ve got. Our next Atlanta blogging class is:

Saturday August 29, 2009, 11:00 am – 5:00 pm.
