You've heard a lot about Blogging in the media, but the small business marketer and consumer is just waking up to this powerful new marketing medium. Some suggest blogs will change the way many businesses market and advertise. Don't miss the wave. Every time I hear someone talking about blogs, I hear them mention Debbie Weil. She is a highly sought after writer and speaker on this new medium. - Make Your Reservation
I met Debbie at the Blog Business Summit and she is both a nice person and wonderful speaker.  The rest of the sessions sound just as interesting.
 
Zane Safrit has this additional commentary on the series:
Emphasis on "local". To many businesses, the challenge is how to use the internet to market effectively to their local market. The global marketplace is a wonderful phenomenon, we all agree. But not every product or service serves a global marketplace. Some are very definitely designed to serve a geographically local marketplace. So, how do you avoid paying for clicks from Ghana for local real estate agency; Or how find local buyers of cars?
This sounds like a series definitely not to miss.
