Ecommerce 101
Everyone wants to know how to sell products online! In this economy, its the perfect opportunity to establish your ecommerce website and start selling to your niche market. The problem is most entrepreneurs think it may cost an arm and a leg to get started. Not true!

Our March presentation focuses on getting your ecommerce site up and running in no time with as little financial resources as possible. Here are a few of the topics we'll discuss:

Pricing Myths - Establishing your site online doesn't cost thousands of dollars
Finding Products to Sell - Who to trust.
SEO - How long tail keyphrases can affect your sales
Merchant Card Processing - Whos reliable? Who's Affordable?

Keyword Research
Fred Sexton from Mouse and Man will provide us with an overview of how to approach keyword research. What tools are the best? How do you determine your targeted keyphrases and more!

To Sign Up and RSVP, please visit The Search Engine Marketing Association of Charlotte for more information.

Please note that this is a one of the three remaining meetings that are FREE. Everyone is invited to attend.

I would like to recommend the Marriott at South Park(the Old Park Hotel) off of Colony and Sharon Road. Plenty of free parking, nice facility, not a bad location.

Eric makes an excellent suggestion. Hope you can work it out as a nice benefit for everyone. Can't make it this month due to conflicting engagement.

Thanks for the suggestion Eric. I'll give them a call on Friday. I'm still negotiation space and right now Marriott and Holiday Inn are going back and forth. Hopefully, we'll have a venue nailed down soon for the next one.

Meetup Location. The new location for the meetup was excellent, however I would also like to recommend Marriott Hotel at Tyvola Rd. and I-77 as a possible future location. The benefits of the Marriott is that they do a very nice job for meetings, they are centrally located, they are right off I-77, quick to get in and quick to get out, and best of all they have plenty of free parking. Please view this as a suggestion and not a complaint.

  “ Very informative! ”
- Les Porter
  
  “ It was good. Another nice discussion which is what I enjoy. I think we were all reminded of why we're charging for SEMCLT membership. So we can rent a larger space. ”
- Brett
  
  “ cramped quarters, but that also helps break down barriers and keep people talking to each other, just not much room for cocktail party like networking from person to person. ”
- Robert
  
  “ good tips/advice from the group ”
- Louie Torrence
  
  “ Super Information on both Keywords and Ecommerce. I can't until the advanced session on Ecommerce. ”
- David Zimmerman
  
  “ Keyword Research included helpful insights but ecommerce was irrelevant to me. I was hoping for more SEM and less eComm. I am disappointed that the next meeting (the one I paid for) will feature ecommerce when I paid to be part of the SEM group. I know there is a lot of interest in ecomm- an the semclt organizers are all interested in ecomm- but this is beginning to dominate the topics. As always, I got a lot out of networking with other SEM people and had a good time. ”
- Corey Creed
  
  “ Awesome. ”
- Cara Couture
  
  “ Despite the space challenges, I still learn every time I attend these Meetups. But truth be told - I'm also here to socialize & network, so I like meeting everyone else, hearing about their projects and interests, trading advice, etc.! ”
