Latest revision as of 02:11, 6 November 2013

The articles in the Learn section of AboutUs.org are intended for business owners who are smart about their industry and business. They know they need to be on the web, but aren't too sure how to go about it. When they search Google for tips and help, they're getting both good information and misguided advice. They're also reading articles couched in language they don't always understand.

Our job is to write about online marketing, online presence and SEO in language that any intelligent business person can understand. Let's keep these articles reasonably short, so people don't have to scroll down a huge page. Let's break complex topics into sections, or even better, into two or more related - and linked - articles.
