About Us

That Training Guide was the brainchild of SEO Expert Steve Wiideman in 2011, after realizing a sincere lack of usable content in industry blogs and from conferences. This site was created to serve two core purposes:

  1. Provide awesome free content and resources
  2. Provide structured training by industry experts

The benefits are endless. As a premium member (only $9.95/mo by the way), marketers get on our private newsletter with real-time industry updates and tips, complimentary passes to live broadcast events and workshops, and access to a growing library of training videos.

We hope you enjoy the content on That Training Guide and please tell a friend if you found even one useful article, video or concept. See you soon!

Become a Sponsor

Being an event sponsor has many advantages. First consider the number of targeted leads your collateral can be handed to. We have a goal of filling a room with 50-100 people two times per day, two days per week. That works out to:

50 Per Event = 200 People Per Week
100 Per Event = 400 People Per Week

Also consider the tax write-off from advertising with us and the link juice you could get as a sponsor (to help your own SEO Strategy). As we grow, so will our audience and our sponsors’ reach. We’re also spending an extensive amount of time marketing our event in local calendars, online event calendars, Sponsored Ads, Facebook Ads, school bulletins, cork boards, and even a few freeway signs. Whether someone attends our event our not, they are patronizing our website, where your logo and business data will exist as a sponsor.
