Topic: "How to get Results using The CCN Website", by Webmaster Mark DeLuca

Abstract: Mark DeLuca has been the CCN webmaster since the site began in 1996, during which he has made major improvements while inputting and revising data for 80 CCN members. From a single page in Dec 96 there are now 20 pages of information about our members, our services and other items of interest to potential clients. Mark will update us on the CCN site and offer suggestions for presenting your own data on the internet.

The Internet has the potential to transform business in the 90Æs the same way the PC has transformed the 80Æs. Dues paying CCN members can use the CCN website to tell the world about their own expertise. Those who have done so report success with gaining new clients. Mark will talk about how the web page can be one part of your total marketing strategy and will also discuss what he believes works and what does not work. He will NOT talk about technical details or browsers other than what he uses. Instead he will concentrate on providing advice on how to improve your profile and help grow your business via the Internet.
