Well, it’s time to call it a year..and what a year it has been! I wish everyone a blessed Hanukkah, a very Merry Christmas and a Prospero Nuevo Año.

On Thursday, January 8 is the San Diego Business Journal’s 2009 Economic Trends Panel Discussion. This is a yearly kick-off tradition. For sure,there is A LOT to talk about this year! The second event is The Millionaire’s Handbook Workshop “Making the Connection” and the third “must see” event is Eric Lofholm’s Sales & Success BootCamp (That one is FREE!) The details are below.

Making the Connection -
A Workshop on The Millionaire’s Handbook

There have been many books on Networking. They all make a very good case for the power of connecting with others, but there is none that so effectively spells out the best strategies and tactics to use. The Millionaire’s Handbook by Mel Kaufmann, guides you step-by-step to find and connect with the people you need to meet…at Networking Events, and anywhere else you may have an opportunity to engage another.

Saturday, January 17th Location: Jobing.com in Mission Valley. More information

Calendar News

We continue to update and streamline the Guide & Calendars. This week we are featuring:

• A more compact look to the “All Events” view
• Ala Carte pricing which reduces some costs by tailoring your advertising
• Sponsorships
• SEO Promotional Package – take advantage of leading-edge marketing and our HUGE internet footprint.
  

We decided that the “All Events” calendar view was too cumbersome with the overabundance of referral club chapters. We considered giving them their own pages, but opted for keeping them in with everyone else and consolidating them. Now, all multiple chapters meeting at the same time will be consolidated into one listing. It’s much more manageable now. Of course, if you want to break out of the pack, you can always get an affordable Featured Listing and be on the opening page! (and in Special Mentions).

Sponsorships Our traffic numbers will now support advertising. For the last 6 years I have never made a serious pitch for advertising because I felt the traffic would not support it. That has changed..dramatically. Our interactive Web 2.0 platform is performing…beyond our projections. We are just moving out of Beta and have only done a fraction of our planned marketing.

We will ultimately use an advertising agency. Our prices will then rise. If you want to reach our readers…the small business person…networkers and networking hosts at out low introductory prices then click here for details.

SEO Promotional Package We have come to realize that we have the platform and the ability to promote any type of business that relates to our audience. If you have priced SEO professionals, you may think that utilizing cutting-edge strategies & tactics is beyond your budget…not so! Check it out.

NETWORKINGEVENTfinders.com is the proud publisher of The San Diego Networking Guide your Local Voice for Business Networking. We look forward to being the best platform for your networking success.
