Freelance Entrepreneurs Social Networking Conference
By: umasumeros
“Social Networking for Economic Profit” in Focus at the “i-Freelance” New Orleans Web Expo, October 10th and 11th. What’s the best way for an individual to earn money on the Internet?
This is the $64 million-dollar question that the “i-Freelance” New Orleans Web Expo attendees will discover for themselves October 10th and 11th at the Hilton New Orleans St. Charles Hotel. Using web casting technology, the presentations throughout this event will be broadcast online, webinar tickets will be available on the NOWE official website starting September 1, 2009. The online web services company, In The Media Dot Com has organized an agenda that brings together major components for freelancing and entrepreneurial success. In focus for this two-day session is the lifestyles of freelance entrepreneurs, how to maximize the technology to reduce the amount of time required to earn money online.
Attendees will take away an experience of “learning-by-doing.” The session presenters will guide the hands-on tutorials on the nuts and bolts of conducting business online, in addition to the finer points of creating business relationships.
Each session is geared to answer specific questions using a “how-to” approach; how to build a team, best practices for using search engine optimization (SEO), how to design your web space to attract the audience you are seeking.
How do you choose the right domain name for your online business? What’s the best way to handle e-commerce? How can you combine traditional advertising with social media marketing? The online web services company in-the-media.com has gathered the best of the best from Internet authorities in their field as the basis of the “i-Freelance” social networking event with a special emphasis on local New Orleans online businesses.
Everyone will have an opportunity to network with the exhibitors and view product and website demonstrations. There are also sponsorship packages available for the event. However all of the presentations will be neutral and objective: these are Internet tutorials, not sales presentations and nothing offered for sale or subscription for any of the presenters.
For those interested in being a presenter, the Open Call was announced last week and the applications are available from the website. “This event is about the people who use Internet technology and how they can achieve maximum return on their investment of time, energy and skill,” stated Uma Sumeros, the Director of NOWE. “Real-life, online experience is what counts; the truth is that you can make a fortune online faster than if the same task were done in the physical world when you have the tools and resources.”
Individuals working as freelance entrepreneurs can benefit tremendously from the Internet when they have accurate information and system framework to use. Today with 100,000,000 websites online the choices facing freelancers is mind-boggling.
These choices play a critical role in the level of success an online business will experience. What features do you need when selecting a web hosting company? How will you get paid for your services? In a series of presentation, the answers to many of the questions freelance entrepreneurs are struggling to find will be given.
Whether you are just starting your venture or looking to improve your online presence, the hands-on tutorials, plus a question and answer period will jump start your business, through domain registration or test driving a content management system.
Attendees can also participate in a “30 Seconds of Fame” session to give their own “elevator” presentation to the audience about their service or product. Each attendee will receive a Online Business Productivity Kit, a collection of software programs and utilities to implement their success plan.
Pre-registration starts June 10th offering significant savings (as much as $600) for exhibitors and attendees who register early. Visit the official website of the New Orleans Web Expo for complete registration details.
