Hey, it’s spring update time here at Port Bell. And no, that doesn’t mean that we’re going around and kicking out all the dusty old stuff.

Don’t you hate when people have old marketing things sitting around, and they say we’re going to start giving this stuff away for free. They don’t tell you that it’s for free because it’s old.

As a matter of fact, our spring update is full of several for free brand new things right now.

In February, we launched an SEO 101 hybrid training that I’m really excited about. And we’re getting great feedback on it so far. If you go to Port bell.com, under the Services section, click on SEO Made Easy.

Now it doesn’t matter whether your company sells local, national or international, you always want to do local SEO first. If you do local, you’ll automatically do national and international and I’ve talked about that before, click here to read or listen to it.

SEO Made Easy is a hybrid training. Over a 90 day period of time, we go in and we do the really technical stuff, the stuff that you’d never want to do yourself. And you don’t have to. There’s a lot of technical stuff that only has to be done one time.

Then we teach you how to do the SEO parts that aren’t quite as technical. And we even show you how to set up your Google business listings, Bing business listings the whole nine yards.

We do this over a 90 day period of time, and it’s all for one flat fee. So click here to find out more about that. And yeah, that one does have a price to it.

But the next two things I’m going to talk to you about are absolutely 100% free. And the first one I am so excited about. We, meaning Mitch gray and myself, (Mitch Gray is the awesome author of the book, How To Hire and Keep Great People). Well, for the past two years, people have been almost storming down my door, asking me how to effectively hire remote workers. That’s been a tough thing, hasn’t it? It’s tough to figure out how to do that when all you’ve ever done is local hiring before.

I started hiring remote workers back in 2004, so I’ve been doing this for quite a while.

And I partnered with Mitch Gray because he wrote that book, How To Hire and keep great people. He has some really fantastic insights about how to do that.

Together, we did a brand new, completely 100% free seven-module training on how to hire remote workers, go to portbelldigitalacademy.com. Click on the How To Hire remote workers and you can get started today for free, seven full modules. It’s not module one and two are free, then you’ve got to pay all seven modules; the complete series completely free to you and just published in March of this year, so it’s all brand new stuff.

You may have downloaded my workbook Is Your Website SEO or Search Engine Friendly.

And click that link if you haven’t. Several hundred people have downloaded this workbook and I’ve gotten a lot of comments back that some of the information is a bit technical. They find the information very useful to see that there are problems with their website, but they don’t know what to do with those problems.

So I’m creating a five day email sequence for everybody that’s on my email list. And it will automatically happen for anybody that downloads a workbook after that day. I’m going to teach you what areas you can do when you have problems, what areas you may have to hire someone with, and what areas you may need to yell at someone with.

Since some of the areas could be a problem in the initial design of your website, you may have to have a conversation with your web designer. Some of the areas may not be your web designers fault, it’s just something that happened, or might even be something that they weren’t paid to do. And I teach you about what the different areas are.

And again, how to work in those areas to help your website get more search engine friendly. As soon as you sign up for that you’ll be put into the five day email sequence. This is all free again, download the workbook for free, you get the emails for free. I just want to give something to you to help you see what you might do. And if it is still too technical for you, click here to give me a holler. Contact us and I will see what I can do to help you out. Usually we can get it done within an hour or two at the most. If the errors aren’t too bad.

There are some errors that are so bad that you have to redesign your website. But isn’t it better to know that your website is having these problems then just sitting there and wondering why is nobody calling me? Why is nobody emailing me? Why is nobody coming to my website?

This way you can find out for yourself. So those three things are our spring update for Port Bell. The launch of the SEO one on one training, we’ve got companies going through it and they are loving it.
