Alabama Media Professionals presents their
2009 Professional Development Seminar
More Clients = More Money:
Standing Out in a Competitive Market
Thursday, October 8th • 11am – 2pm
Vulcan Park
sponsored by:
 & 
You may be a one-man shop or a small business, but you don't have to look like it. Or act like it. Learn to draw in clients (and that means money!) from places you might not think to look, let the internet work for you, and present yourself as well as any of the big boys without losing the charm, professionalism, and accessibility that are so enticing about working with a little guy.
This seminar brings you tips, insights and the experience from those who have grown their freelance and consulting businesses using the internet, social media, and plain old good business sense with new twists. You can't beat the investment of only $25 for two lectures, a panel full of knowledge, and a free lunch. Goody bags and door prizes just add to the bait, because at AMP, we understand it takes something more to get you out of your pajamas and away from your keyboard. Everyone is welcome.
