Anti-virus software links are available on our partners page.

Your computer should always have some type of anti-virus software running to keep your computer clean.  We recommend Eset NOD32 for virus protection but Kapersky is fine too.  If you are a Comcast Internet customer, you can get anti-virus software for free.

Greetings!
 
In June, we will be doing a few more workshops on social media so take a look at the MiniTech Conference website for a schedule. I just finished one for Ross Miller at Bradley's Small Business Development Center presenting the Social Media workshop there and I'm doing an Internet Marketing workshop for SCORE as well as the MiniTech Conference Facebook, LinkedIn and YouTube workshops. The events are listed below.  

Below, the techs here provided me with a new tool for everyone to use with new programs.  I will try to get a new tool or website each month that will help you keep your computer clean and clutter free. 

Do you have a suggestion for a topic for this newsletter?  Email me and we will cover it. 

Thank you for your customer support!   - Tammy

More Than a Website   

Search Engine Optimization (SEO), Email Newsletters, Online Surveys, Social Media, Websites, Domain Names, Landing Pages, Logos, Fliers, Hosting, Email!  We provide all these services to our clients.

We provide SEO services to our clients.  SEO is the process of making your site visible to search engines. When we build your website we do an initial SEO service which helps your ranking with Google.  To stay here requires ongoing SEO.  This service is billed monthly and cost depends on the size of your website.  Check with us for a quote.  I am hoping to do a workshop on this topic soon.

Email newsletters, like this one, are a great way to let your customers know what's happening, provide good advice to them or just keep in touch.  We can put one together for you starting at $75.00 each.  You decide how often to send it.  We provide the layout, database import and maintenance as well as edits and of course, sending. Contact us or catch my Internet Marketing workshop for more information on the importance of Email Marketing.  We also do surveys for data collection or polls.

What do you get for your $25 per month hosting fee?  A lot!  First parking your website on the internet, of course.  We make MINOR updates to your website also.  I've helped people with email problems, questions about Google and software and even questions about what digital camera to purchase.  It's more than a hosting fee, it's a consulting fee. 

Website and social media maintenance is very underrated. Some people are excited about getting the site or social media account up but then just abandon it once it's up and running.  Let us help with that.  Social Media maintenance starts at $25 per month.  A bargain considering what your company can get from it.

Computer Tips
 
Cool New Website Resource

The techs here at Web Tech Services have given me a great link for software and applications.
 
http://ninite.com
is a great site for a one-click download and install and best of all, the programs are free!  Simply check the box by the software you want to install, and click "get installer" which will install the programs for you automatically. These programs are all free so have fun! 

Please be careful installing duplicate applications for anti-virus.  Your computer may bog down or worse, not start at all.

New Social Media / Workshop Info 

I found a great new tool for Social Media maintenance.  It's called SocialOomph.  There is a link on the resources page at MiniTechConference.com or click the link on the Featured Links section of this newsletter.  It's a great tool for organizing your social media and scheduling posts.   

 Our last workshop, How to Make Money with Your Website, got great feedback.  I am putting a survey out to everyone to see what's next.  I want to help you become more comfortable using these valuable FREE tools.  Please take the 5 question survey here
