LinkedIn for the Uninitiated in 4 Easy Steps 

Instructed by: Marc Halpert, Managing Partner, egiving and Your Best
Interest LLC 
Date/Time: Tuesdays, February 2, 9, 16 and 23rd, from noon to 1 p.m.

Beginning February 2, Ventureneer offers its first virtual course based on
its well received webinar, LinkedIn for Non Profit Organizations.

Because the topic -- LinkedIn -- has so much marketing and networking
potential for non profit leaders, Ventureneer has expanded its popular
webinar to an in-depth, 4-part Vcourse.

What have attendees said about Marc Halpert's LinkedIn webinars. 

*	"I had no idea that LinkedIn had such potential as a marketing and
business development tool. Not only did I find the information presented
useful in expanding my organization's reach, but the clients I serve have
benefited immensely."
Jaci Hirschfeld of

*	"I left the session feeling empowered to help my non-profit.  Your
enthusiasm and expertise was impressive and your willingness to share these
qualities is unmistakably genuine. 
Kala Kaminsky, EAC Guatemala Family Liaison. 
*	"Thank you so much for your specific, detailed instructions and tips
about how to maximize the LinkedIn profile networking tool. Even though your
target audience was nonprofit, there was tons of helpful information
applicable to for-profit businesses, too." says Emily Cox, of PowerwoRx

The Vcourse will give non profit leaders much more opportunity for
interaction with the instructor and with fellow attendees. A LinkedIn
discussion group will also be set up so participants can network and
converse beyond the confines of the course.

The Vcourse format allows both the quality learning and the peer support
that non profits need to succeed.

Instructed by: Randy Joy Epstein, CPA, Founder, Randy Joy Consulting, LLC 
Date/Time: Wednesday, January 27, 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.ET 

Small businesses and non profits are often founded by innovative
entrepreneurs who have a very clear vision of what they hope to achieve.
That vision is critical to success yet, over time, outside factors and
internal changes can blur that mission. This webinar will show entrepreneurs
and leaders how to re-focus and re-charge."
