When I decided to offer an introduction course on local search optimization for companies in my area, I had no idea what the response would be.  I wanted to offer it not only to promote my SEO business, but also to let others know how important SEO is to their company’s online livelihood.

I had the advertisements up for only a day and a half when my Tampa online marketing company was inundated with people calling and email wanting to sign up for the course.   Seems there was an interested in it!  In fact, there was so much interest I ended up adding two more classes to accommodate everyone. 

And I was pleasantly surprised that it was not just online company owners and managers who were attending.  Consumers were also interested in learning a bit more about how SEO affected them and I even had a couple of employees from other Tampa Internet advertising companies who were interested in seeing what we had to offer.

All in all the courses were fun to teach and even I found some of the questions asked challenging.  There has already been interest in more courses, which I will definitely offer in the future.
