This is where I will be on Wednesday, August 12th and the reason that I’m pushing back my monthly Online Mastermind meeting at the coffee shop by one week to next Wednesday, August 19th.
If you want to learn about Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn and… do some networking with about 400-500 others… be sure to register here and stop by. I will be joining my business associate Jeff Mills at the sponsor table for the Midwest Super Conference that we are promoting at this Meetup meeting. That event takes place in Bloomington, MN September 11-13.
Some of you have heard me share in person or at workshops about how I got started doing websites. My story includes how I helped my local bank, The Bank of Elk River, to become the second bank in the state of Minnesota to have their own website. I started working with them in late 1994 and by early 1995 we had the website online for those who were already on the WWW (World Wide Web) to find us.
The image below is from about 1997. You can see the site that has been saved in the Internet archive website.
If you click on the image you will be able to see much of the site they way
it looked back then. The old URL was www.the-bank-er.com
The current site is here: https://www.thebankofelkriver.com
I also helped the City of Elk River with their first website along with several other area businesses. My company name then was GTA Business Solutions (GTA was short for Griner Telecom Associates). Here is the archive link to the old City of Elk River website from about 1997.
My next Elk River Online Business Mastermind Group meeting at Caribou Coffee needs to be moved back one week to the third Wednesday this month because of another meeting that I need to attend on the 12th. So, we will meet on
Wednesday, August 19th at 7pm at Caribou Coffee in Elk River.
I want to share with you some tools that I use to help promote my online and off-line business ventures. This month I will provide everyone who attends (and even those who are reading this but can not attend the meeting) a gift account with
Send Out Cards. I use
Send Out Cards to mail out thank you cards to clients, greeting cards with gifts to thank special people, birthday and anniversary cards to clients, friends and family members. It is so easy to do and takes only 5 minutes or less to send a real, not one of those spammy digital things, greeting card or post card.
Click on the image below to get your own Free Gift Account pre-paid by me so you can send out some post cards or greeting cards right now and give this a try for yourself.
