Guest Lectures

We also had a very timely and important guest lecture from David Wolf, an SEO and internet strategist who taught us rather in depth about the SEO process, google rankings and google places. He very easily demystified what it is and how you can successfully manage your online presence on your own for maximum exposure. You should listen. You can find this lecture for free on our Solo Practice University Page on Facebook. Just be signed in, click on ‘audio’ and learn. If you like the free guest lectures we are providing, would love for you to ‘like’ us to be kept apprized of even more interesting information about going solo and flowing conversation.
