by LEN SMITH
Let me show you how to make your website into a money magnet.

Yes, I’m a freelancer working from home, yet I really do get more than 1,000 visitors every day – day in, day out. That’s auditable.

And it’s not the mythical ‘hits’ that some people boast about. These are real live humans.

Around a third of a million a year! That’s why I now have to farm work out.

IF YOU ARE A WEB DESIGNER, APPLICATION DEVELOPER, FREELANCER, THIS COULDN’T BE MORE APPROPRIATE. YOU ARE SELLING TO EXACTLY THE SAME AUDIENCE I SELL TO.

And I did all the search engine optimization myself. I don’t pretend to be an SEO
guru. In fact, I hate technology but I realized some time ago that your
rankings in Google searches are too valuable to entrust to others. And
there’s no need to spend a fortune with SEO companies when you can achieve
astounding results yourself without any technical expertise. After all, no-one
knows your business like you do, and no one can be as highly motivated.

In this course, there’s no sales hype. I just lift the kimono and show you exactly what I did to my own site – and
you can do exactly the same to your site – just ‘copy and paste’.

A jargon-free zone

We start very gently, taking a bite at a time. In the entire course there are just
six hard-core jargon words (I couldn’t avoid those). The rest is pure layman’s
language. Each video introduces a new concept and is followed by a downloadable
pdf, so you have a hard copy and can add notes of your own.

Fireside chats

This is not a sterile ‘off the shelf, take it or leave it’ course. In my other
course ‘How to Become a Copywriter’, I introduced the idea of fireside chats.
When students raise a query that would be useful to others, I add a video
‘chat’ covering the topic. That way, the course always stays up to date and,
over time, really tunes into student needs, rather than what I may think those
needs are.

Oh – and I am very accessible. Any queries, or anything not clear, just email me. I am here to help.

This has got to be the definitive course on SEO – exactly what entrepreneurs and startups have been crying out for

If you have seen me on TV’s The Secret Millionaire, you will know I built my own startup from scratch to make it into a multi-million dollar business around the globe. You will also know that I dedicate a lot of my time helping entrepreneurs and startup businesses to get off the ground.

I have known Len for a number of years and he has given SEO workshops on my behalf for lots of new businesses. Always ecstatically received. Those workshops became the basis of this course.

I can personally ecommend it. Invest now and grab that competitive advantage.

Dawn Gibbins, MBE, MBA, philanthropist, entrepreneur

Dawn’s accolades include Veuve Clicquot Business Woman of the Year, voted the most influential person in UK manufacturing and an MBE for services to industry.

She has also been made a ‘Pioneer to the Life of our Nation’ by Her Majesty The Queen in 2004 and recently been titled ‘Legend of Industry’ .

For the past 20 odd years Len has run his own business, Copywriting On Demand. He works from home, writing copy for organisations around the world – and lots of them have become personal friends.

His biggest market is the USA, followed by the UK, the Arab states and the Netherlands. His business comes via the web and his website enjoys attracts more than 1.000 visits a day.

Clients are as diverse as Vodafone, The Finance Leasing Association, Lloyds, PricewaterhouseCoopers, a number of multinational pharmaceutical companies – even a TV ‘Secret Millionaire’.

Married for almost 50 years (a world record?) he has three sons.

He lives in a rambling old vicarage in Yorkshire that has the distinction of having been built by the Brönte sisters’ Uncle Fennel. Charlotte’s earliest recorded letter was written from the vicarage during one of the children’s brief holidays there.

His interests have included competitive rallying (including an attempt at the Monte Carlo Rally and the Paris Marrakesh), and paragliding. These days he is content with art and opera.

HTML5 for Beginners is the fastest way to learn HTML5. This highly informative and popular course, already taken by over 1,000 people, is taught by Robin Nixon, author of Learning PHP, MySQL and JavaScript (the most popular book on web development worldwide for over two years). The course covers everything you need to know to learn HTML5 and leverage its power to create highly dynamic websites.

Because it starts from the first principles of HTML, you need no prior knowledge of the subject, since the course begins with a thorough introduction to HTML (which skilled users can skip), before moving onto what’s new in HTML5.

**

HTML5 is the latest version of the Web’s bedrock markup language, HTML. But it has come to stand for much more than the average, slow-moving technical standard. HTML5 is intended to make web sites behave more like conventional desktop applications, incorporating video, complex interactions and data as well as greater compatibility with mobile devices.

Something in the last 18 months kicked the HTML5 adoption machine into overdrive. Maybe it was Apple and Microsoft joining hands and dubbing it the future of the web (who knew it could happen?!). Maybe it was Google’s launch of the Chrome Web Store, with its focus on HTML5 (get your angry birds fix in a 15 inch screen!). Maybe it was the HTML5-friendly (or shall I say Flash-unfriendly) iPad’s meteoric sales. Whatever it was, a recent wave of web apps from huge technology giants confirms that this much-hyped language has business’ blessing.

But where do you come in? As HTML5 becomes more and more popular, other web development solutions become less and less prevalent. In a few short years, either you’ll be coding in HTML5 or you’ll be working on IE 6 (good luck with that one!). On the flipside, develop a few HTML5 pages now and you’ll become a guru, be the envy of your peers, and will be building websites that work on PC, Mac, iPhone, Android, Firefox, Chrome, the iPad, and any other device or browser you can think of.

So what are you waiting for? Grab this HTML5 crash course for beginners and start learning the future, today!

Author, Publisher & Lecturer
Robin Nixon is a prolific web developer, programmer and technical author with over 15 years experience of creating websites using technologies such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, MySQL and Ajax.

Once familiar with PHP you can use this free technology to build just about any type of web presence you can imagine.

If you're a mobile developer, you need to learn PHP and MySQL too. Most mobile devices consume web based services. There is no easier way to create web services designed to be consumed by mobile devices than PHP– guaranteed!

In this course you'll join master trainer Mark Lassoff as you learn all of the major concepts that beginner PHP developers need to master. You'll be able to code along with Mark as he demonstrates everything from simple PHP commands to more advanced database applications. Each lesson features a companion lab exercise which will help you retain, reinforce and remember each concept in the course.
