Business Breakfast Workshop 17 July 2008 - Making Google Pay

David Caruso Workshop -click hereMany of us turn to the internet as a first choice for finding a company, product or service. Google advertising or adwords is a necessary advertising medium strategy in today’s online world to ensure your own website comes first in the search. At the moment there are many unscrupulous companies who are selling Google Advertising packages to small business owners for a minimum of $1000 + per month.

Google Advertising can be done by yourself or your team at a fraction of the cost - and our breakfast workshop with online advertising expert David Caruso will show you how.

If you’ve considered using Google advertising but are apprehensive or confused about how it works, this workshop will unfold the secrets of Google adwords. Our value-packed, high-energy breakfast workshop will have you motivated and empowered to expand your marketing with online advertising. David comes to us recommended by RBF members who have seen his workshops in action and been very impressed. Do join us! Places are limited so book now.
