If you own a small business and need to stretch your marketing dollars, you’ve come to the right place! In today’s lesson, you’ll discover that you can promote your business effectively for just pennies—or sometimes even for free. The secret: a systematic marketing plan that targets your audience at every stage of the purchasing cycle.

The first step in successful marketing is getting people to <i>notice</i> you&mdash;and today, we&rsquo;ll look at three ways to achieve that goal. We&rsquo;ll start by talking about how to create a great first impression, both in person and through your brand. Next, you&rsquo;ll find out how to position yourself as an expert in your field. And finally, we&rsquo;ll talk about using the media to promote your business.

Want to stretch your marketing dollars to the max? Then put the power of partnerships to work for you. In this lesson, you&rsquo;ll discover how to combine forces with other individuals or businesses to create exciting and effective marketing opportunities. In addition, we&rsquo;ll talk about enlisting other people in your place-based marketing and word-of-mouth campaigns.

These days, a Web site is an essential marketing tool for any business. And here&rsquo;s the good news: You can create an attractive, professional-looking Web site quickly and easily, for only a few dollars. You&rsquo;ll find out how in this lesson&mdash;and you&rsquo;ll also learn the ins and outs of obtaining a domain name, getting a matching e-mail address, laying out your Web site, and finding a hosting provider if you need one.

When you&rsquo;re done creating your Web site, it&rsquo;s time for the next step: drawing traffic to it. In today&rsquo;s lesson, we&rsquo;ll explore how to do this through <i>on-page</i> and <i>off-page</i> search engine optimization (SEO). In addition, we&rsquo;ll look at pay-per-click ads, banner ads, classified ads, videos, and a host of other low-cost or free ways to draw attention online.

Successful business owners master the art of finding and cultivating leads, and that&rsquo;s what we&rsquo;re going to talk about today. We&rsquo;ll investigate everything from old-fashioned fishbowls to Facebook Business pages and Twitter, and we&rsquo;ll talk about the pros and cons of e-mail and direct mail marketing. Whether you&rsquo;re a traditionalist or a techie, you&rsquo;ll find an approach that&rsquo;s just right for you.

Congratulations: You&rsquo;ve scored a sale! Now, how can you keep your new customer coming back for more? In this lesson, we&rsquo;ll talk about inexpensive or free ways to generate repeat sales. In addition, we&rsquo;ll look at a variety of techniques for encouraging referrals&mdash;and finally, we&rsquo;ll talk about capturing your customer information in a database.

Some marketing efforts bring crowds of customers to your door. Others are a complete flop, wasting your time and money. How can you choose wisely? By doing some up-front analysis&mdash;and that&rsquo;s what we&rsquo;ll talk about today. When you complete today&rsquo;s lesson, you&rsquo;ll be equipped with all the tools you need to choose marketing tactics that have a high potential for success. In addition, you&rsquo;ll learn why <i>integrated</i> <i>marketing</i> gives you the best results, and you&rsquo;ll find out how to schedule a full year of marketing activities easily and efficiently.

Sure, you want everyone to buy your product&mdash;but when you&rsquo;re marketing, it pays to be exclusive. Today, you&rsquo;ll find out why <i>niche marketing</i> can bring in more customers than mass marketing (and create a more loyal customer base as well). After that, you&rsquo;ll learn how to use <i>geographics</i>, <i>demographics</i>, <i>firmographics</i>, <i>psychographics</i>, and <i>behavioral data</i> to create a marketing message that resonates with your target market.

In this lesson, we&rsquo;ll talk about key selling messages&mdash;those alluring words that overcome potential buyers&rsquo; objections and make them want to make a purchase immediately. You&rsquo;ll learn how to identify the unique features of your business, how to create a competitive positioning statement, and&mdash;most important of all&mdash;how to identify the <i>emotional benefits</i> that motivate your buyers. By the time you&rsquo;re done, you&rsquo;ll be able to distill your new knowledge into a short, powerful message that will turn skeptical people into eager customers.

Today, it all comes together! First, you&rsquo;ll create the two final elements of your marketing plan: your business goals and your marketing goals. You&rsquo;ll discover how to create goals that are clear-cut, realistic, and measurable, so you&rsquo;ll be motivated to meet (or even exceed) the targets you set.&nbsp; After that, you&rsquo;ll roll all of your information into a single document that will be your blueprint for marketing success. With this marketing plan in hand, you&rsquo;ll be ready to take your prospective buyers by storm.

In our final lesson, we&rsquo;ll talk about tracking&mdash;the secret to continually improving your marketing tactics and increasing your profits. You&rsquo;ll learn how to create a baseline and compile reports that can highlight your marketing successes and point to areas where you can improve. In addition, you&rsquo;ll discover different ways to track your campaigns&mdash;including the campaigns you might think are &ldquo;untrackable.&rdquo;

Learn how to guard against scam artists, identity thieves, predatory lenders, and abusive debt collectors.

Do you worry about criminals stealing your identity or scammers cheating you out of your money? Are you feeling threatened by abusive debt collectors or predatory lenders? If so, this course can give you the help you need.

In these lessons, you'll see how to spot the scams and rip-offs that can cost you money or ruin your credit. You'll explore threats including identity fraud, Internet and credit card scams, and deceptive service contracts. If you're planning to buy land or a home, you'll learn to avoid real estate scams—and if you're buying a car, you'll get the inside story on car dealers' tricks.

And that's not all! If your mortgage is in trouble, you'll find out how to slow down (or even stop) a foreclosure. And if you're getting harassing calls from debt collectors, your course instructor—a former Assistant District Attorney—will bring you up to speed on the federal and state laws that can give you peace of mind. You'll also see how to obtain your credit score and how to clean up your credit history.

By the time you finish this course, you'll be prepared to protect your credit score, your identity, and your bank accounts. In addition, you'll have the legal know-how you need to make mortgage holders, credit card companies, and debt collectors play by the rules.

Courses are delivered to you through expertly executed lessons, online instruction and interaction with like-minded students. Our courses are designed to deliver all of the benefits of studying in a classroom whilst giving you the flexibility to study at a time and place to suit your needs. You can access your classroom 24/7 from any device with an internet connection.

This course has a 3 month duration. You'll complete comprehensive lessons, quizzes and assignments before submitting your final exam at the end of the course to achieve your certificate. Courses must be completed within the 3 month access period.

In this first lesson, we'll concentrate on real estate scams. This is a particularly lucrative field for con artists, so we'll discuss all the different ways scammers can fool victims. We'll talk about foreclosure sales, tax liens, rental scams, and bogus escrow fees. By the end of this lesson, you'll be looking differently at newspaper ads that promise quick riches in real estate.

In this lesson, we&rsquo;ll talk about what could be a delicate situation: falling behind on your bills and being hounded by bill collectors. I&rsquo;m going to explain the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act, which is a federal law, and you&rsquo;ll see exactly what debt collectors can and can&rsquo;t do. You&rsquo;ll also learn exactly what your rights are and how you can make harassing phone calls stop. I&rsquo;ll share with you some ready-made statements that you can repeat over the phone. Finally, you&rsquo;ll learn what to do if a debt collector crosses the line. You&rsquo;ll find out that not only can you make the phone calls stop, but you can also bring suit against someone who violates the statutes.

As long as there have been human beings, there have been thieves. In this lesson, we&rsquo;re going to take a look at Internet scams, credit card theft, and how you can protect yourself against both. First, we&rsquo;ll take a look at some pretty common Internet scams, and I&rsquo;ll explain how you can protect your money. Then we&rsquo;ll take on credit card theft and fraud, ending up with a discussion of the federal, state, and local agencies that investigate and prosecute people who commit these crimes. At the conclusion of this lesson, you should breathe a lot easier knowing that you have the savvy to protect yourself from Internet scams and credit card thieves.

Credit is the real currency of our economy. This means that your credit score is vitally important. In today&rsquo;s lesson, we&rsquo;re going to examine your credit score: how it&rsquo;s calculated, how credit reports work, how you can change information on the report, and also how you can improve your overall credit. First, we&rsquo;ll walk through exactly how credit agencies establish your credit history. You&rsquo;ll learn about that all-important credit score number that follows you wherever you go. Then we&rsquo;ll talk about the Fair Credit Reporting Act, which is a piece of federal legislation that governs how, when, and why credit scores can be tabulated. More important, you&rsquo;ll learn how the FCRA specifies what you can do to remove incorrect items on your credit history. Next, we&rsquo;ll talk about scams to supposedly &ldquo;clean up&rdquo; your credit history. We&rsquo;ll finish the lesson by discussing the correct and legal methods you can use that really will improve your credit score.

In this lesson, we&rsquo;ll examine the issues surrounding predatory lending and other questionable lending practices. Predatory lending is something that might actually cost you more money than fraud&mdash;and it&rsquo;s perfectly legal. It reaches into many areas, but especially into home mortgages. We&rsquo;ll also talk about another common predatory lending practice: payday loans. You&rsquo;ll see how they can drain a person dry. By the conclusion of this lesson, you&rsquo;ll know how to avoid predatory lenders and keep more of your hard-earned money.

In today&rsquo;s lesson, we&rsquo;ll cover a familiar topic: credit cards. We&rsquo;ll be dissecting everything you need to know about terms, interest rates, and fees. We&rsquo;ll begin with a brief history of credit cards, and then I&rsquo;ll show you all the different factors you need to consider before choosing one. Then I&rsquo;ll talk about the credit card agreement and why it&rsquo;s important to pay attention to it. Finally, we&rsquo;ll take a look at some credit card scams you should be aware of. By the conclusion of this lesson, you should feel well-prepared to apply for a credit card that will bring you the best value and convenience possible.

As long as there have been businesses, there have been unscrupulous business practices. In this lesson, we&rsquo;re going to examine specific types of deceptive practices&mdash;including bait and switch, passing off one type of goods for another, and outright fraud&mdash;and show you how to avoid them. Unscrupulous retailers, especially Internet merchants, are coming up with new ways to dupe us all the time. You&rsquo;ll learn how to look for warning signs that something may not be what it&rsquo;s advertised to be and use caution to help guide you. Even the most careful consumer can fall prey to deceptive business practices, though, so you'll also be gathering lots of information on what to do after the fact.

In today&rsquo;s lesson, we&rsquo;ll talk about scams and rip-offs directly related to cars. If you plan to buy, lease, or sell a car one day, this is the lesson for you! We&rsquo;ll start off with a discussion about leasing cars and some of the most common tricks, scams, and outright crimes that dealers carry out every day. Then we&rsquo;ll move on to scams involving buying and selling a car. Along the way, we&rsquo;ll demystify a lot of terminology that has crept into the auto buying and leasing business. By the time you&rsquo;ve finished this lesson, you&rsquo;ll be ready to march down to the car dealer, negotiate the best possible deal for yourself, and save thousands of dollars.

It seems like every time you buy something these days, you&rsquo;re offered the opportunity to purchase an extended warranty. These warranties are tempting, but are they really worth it? That&rsquo;s the question we&rsquo;ll be answering in this lesson. We&rsquo;ll begin by learning exactly what a warranty is, along with a little history of how warranties began. Then we&rsquo;ll talk about two kinds of warranties: express and implied. After that, we&rsquo;ll turn our attention to extended warranties, something I&rsquo;m sure a car dealer or retailer has dangled before you at one time or another. By the time you finish this lesson, you should have all the knowledge you need to expertly evaluate any warranty you might be thinking about purchasing.

You&rsquo;ve undoubtedly heard about lawsuits in which people have sued over products that have injured them. In this lesson, we&rsquo;re going to take a look at this area of law and see how it&rsquo;s entirely possible to bring such a case and what will happen when you do. Such lawsuits fall under the category of product liability cases, so our focus for this lesson is to understand what product liability is all about. Once you have a solid understanding of product liability, you can then figure out if your case falls into the product liability area.

In previous lessons, we&rsquo;ve talked about scams, rip-offs, and product liability cases. Suppose you want to sue the con man who swindled you, the corporation whose product hurt you, or someone else. How do you go about doing it? That&rsquo;s what we&rsquo;ll focus on in this lesson. We&rsquo;ll take a look at the process you would follow if you decided to bring a lawsuit. By the time you finish this lesson, you&rsquo;ll know how to bring a small claims action or even a full-blown lawsuit in state or federal court.

In this final lesson, we will address a few more scams and rip-offs that we have not yet covered. We&rsquo;ll focus on cons and schemes that you&rsquo;re likely to run into at some point and that you need to protect yourself against. We will be discussing everything from home repair scams to Ponzi schemes. Along the way, you&rsquo;ll also be getting the information that you need to protect yourself and the resources to contact the proper authorities if you feel that you have been the victim of any of these illegal activities. By the time you finish this lesson, you should be well-armed to spot the many ways in which unscrupulous folks can take advantage of you. With what you&rsquo;ll learn in this lesson&mdash;as well as what you&rsquo;ve learned throughout the course&mdash;you can count yourself a savvy and well-informed consumer.
