SCORE: THE 10 C’S OF SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING
May 14 @ 1:00 pm
This webinar was created a couple of years ago when small business owners started saying, “Being sheltered in place, I guess I have to take my social media marketing more seriously. Can you show me how?” To help them, Hank and Sharyn Yuloff came up with a simple system of ‘do’s’ and ‘don’ts’ and will now share them with you. You will get answers to the myths that have been holding you back from generating a following that leads to business, including what platforms you should be on, what to post and what is your daily time commitment to help you succeed. If you are an average user of social media for your business (C is an average grade, and these are the 10 Concepts) and now want to up your game, this webinar is for you. Each attendee will also receive a copy of their best-selling book, The Marketing Checklist for Social Media.

SCORE: HOW TO PROPERLY STRUCTURE YOUR BUSINESS TO SECURE BUSINESS FUNDING
May 15 @ 5:00 pm
In 2025, structuring your business properly is essential to securing Business Funding, as lenders and investors look for credibility, stability, and legal protection. As the Founder & CEO of EXPANDEMONIUM, Terence Spencer has noticed far too many business owners have structured their business to be noticeable, BUT not Fundable. For instance, choosing the proper entity structure (C-Corp, S-Corp, LLC), securing an Employer Identification Number (EIN) from the IRS, picking the right business address, using the right business phone number, congruency within all documentation, business bank account setup, professional website and email address, DUN#, choosing the correct NAICS Code and posting your business on the right platforms are all data points business owners do not consider that banks hold in high esteem when applying for Business Funding. Unfortunately, a lender can deny your application for one of the areas I mentioned above so it is incumbent upon you to know what is necessary for funding success! There is no time like NOW to make the necessary adjustments to your business structure and change the entire trajectory of your company! If you truly want to unlock funding products and opportunities that most entrepreneurs dream of doing, don’t miss this webinar!
