Well, our social media seminar focusing on LinkedIn is behind us and we’ve got photos! Among the participants was celebrity photographer Diane Cohen. She was nice enough to take some shots and send them along. See them after the jump.
The seminar was a great success, if I do say so myself. We’re still getting fantastic feedback and following up with participants. So thank you to everyone who participated and helped spread the word!

Some of our particularly sharp-eyed readers may have noticed that we’ve just upgraded our blog. After years of being hosted as part of the WordPress.com community of blogs, we’ve decided to make the move to the freedom afforded by self-hosting. Our main reason for making the switch is so that we can make use of some of the vast number of WordPress extensions to add extra features to this site.
For instance: this blog is now available in a slick format that’s optimized for mobile devices, courtesy of the sexy WPTouch plugin. Just visit hiringtheinternet.com on your iPhone, Ipod or Android phone to check it out.

Exciting things are happening over here at Visible Shops, and we thought it’s time to start letting you in on it all.
Over the past couple of years we have met with hundreds of small business owners who really liked our approach and methodology to creating successful Internet marketing programs. Unfortunately, many just couldn’t afford to hire Internet marketing professionals. We vowed to find a way to take the financial decision out of the equation and bring our methodology to all small businesses. Today we’re officially announcing that we’re in the home stretch.
In a very short time we will be launching a whole new product and service that will bring the strategic positioning and Internet marketing success once available to only larger companies, to all small businesses. You can call it VU.
We know that Time, Money and Expertise are all roadblocks that have kept small businesses from getting the benefits of a well-positioned Internet Marketing Program. With VU we address all these roadblocks and work hard with you to grow your profits. If you own a small business, this is the product you’ve been waiting for.

Make your visual aids more simple and easy-to-use.
Don’t you want to get rid of that bowl cut your friend has been sporting since 6th grade? Sometimes visual aids, like people, need a makeover. Among its many benefits, makeovers can give an unsightly graph a quick touch up, get rid of a poll’s unappealing colors or clear out a chart’s numerical clutter. The whole point of the makeover is to try and make what you have better than what it was before.
It is very important for businesses to make their visual aids very simple and easy-to-use so that audiences instantly understand the reason for them. If the visual aids are not easily understood companies risk having their audiences both miss the message and become alienated.
Get Your Message Across
