Lisa Sorg, Editor of The Independence Weekly and IndyWeek.com (http://www.indyweek.com/) will be Raleigh Internet Marketing Relativity's November featured speaker.
November 30th Wednesday
Atlantic BT 4509 Creedmoor, Raleigh NC
The Independence Weekly, created by '73 Duke alum Steve Schewel, is a Triangle treasure. The paper's intelligent, informative and creative take has enriched Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill since inception in 1983 (the year after Steve received his PhD in Education from Duke). *** Side note: Be sure to vote for Steve Schewel (http://steveschewel.com/) for Durham City Council on Tuesday, November 8th!!!! ***
Lisa Sorg's deft leadership as Editor sets new standards for print to web synergy, connection and design. How does a print publication thrive in a world where it is almost too expensive to put ink on paper? Lisa will share how a little weekly paper has created such a compelling brand, amassed 1.5 million pages in Google (almost as many as the News and Observer), achieved a great PageRank of 6 (only one under the N&O), achieved a very great Alexa US traffic rank of 22,811 received over 2,000 links and thrived when other print publications struggle.
What is the secret to niche publication success?
Plan to join Raleigh's Internet Marketing Relativity meetup at the Atlantic BT building across from Macy's Crabtree Valley Mall on Wednesday November 30th to learn from a Triangle treasure.
Dinner will include pizza from the best Pizzeria on earth, Bella Mia (http://scenttrail.blogspot.com/2011/10/bella-mia-what-can-best-pizzeria-teach.html) in Cary thanks to Jon Jordan and Atlantic BT.
