The plain truth is most websites simply don't work.
Even if you create a great website, the world will not necessarily flock to it. It's not a shop window that people find themselves walking past: it's out there in cyberspace with millions of other websites.
You could create a website which tells the world the secret of how to change scrap metal into gold, but if all you did was publish it on the web, guess what? It'll still be a secret.
You have to drive people to your website and you do that with Internet Marketing, this Seminar will explain how.
This event would normally cost £97.00 but is FREE to all DCM members.

LEADERS from some of the North East's top creative agencies will speak at next month's Think and a Drink about how to succeed in the creative industries.
The event will look at full service and specialised creative agencies in the region and will tackle the following hot topics:
- Do you need to become a full-service agency in order to continue growing?
- Do you need to be based in Newcastle to be successful in the North East?
- How do you decide what value to put on your ideas and IP?
Business leaders from both, full service and specialised agencies will discuss how their businesses operate and what successes and failures they have experienced. They will also talk about their plans for the future of their businesses.
