Next Elk River Mastermind Meeting – Wed. September 9th

Posted on September 7, 2009 by Nate

Here it is Labor Day, tomorrow is back to school time for our youngest son. Where did the summer go?

This week I’m busy getting ready for the 4th annual Midwest Internet Marketing Super Conference presented by my friend and business associate Jeff Mills. The conference starts this coming Friday, September 11th and runs through Sunday the 13th. Thursday I will be heading down to Bloomington to setup the audio/video gear but I will be taking time out Wednesday evening for our next Elk River Online Business Mastermind Group meeting at Caribou Coffee in Elk River.

I hope you will join me and bring a friend along too. We meet at 7pm until 9pm when the close the shop. I will be sharing about how to setup an online business using WordPress and a shopping cart program that does not have a monthly charge like most do. This can be used to sell digital or physical products. If you want to learn how this works please join me at 7pm this Wednesday evening.

Please post a reply in the comments area below if you will be attending. Thanks

Watch As We Build Sensible Green Website For Dave and Ray

Posted on September 1, 2009 by Nate

As many of you know, Ray Miller hired me to build the new website for the Green Remodeling business that he and Dave  have started… www.sensiblegreenremodeling.com I thought perhaps some of you would be interested to see how it looks as we move forward with the design and functionality of the site.

You are welcome to give your input, ask questions and post your comments here on my Elk River Online Business Mastermind website. As this website and the monthly meetings I hold in Elk River at Caribou Coffee are referred to as The Mastermind Group for Online Businesses I think it is only right to let you provide your ideas and feedback here for this project and others that I might post here from time-to-time.

If you would like help with a new or existing website project please Contact Me. I would be happy to join you over a cup of coffee anytime to discuss it.

My First Website Client – The Bank of Elk River

Posted on August 6, 2009 by admin

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.

Next Mastermind Meeting – One Week Later – August 19th

Posted on August 6, 2009 by admin
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.
 
Send Out Cards
 
I will share more details at the Wednesday meeting about how Send Out Cards works along with some other tools that I use like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. I hope to see you there.
