April 17, 2008- Ancil Nance- Web Site Marketing Considerations

The Association of Home Businesses April 2008 Meeting was attended by 18 members. Our community welcomed one new member as well as several guests interested in exploring the Association and attending the evening’s presentation by guest speaker, Ancil Nance.

Attendees enjoyed camaraderie during the first hour over a tasty dinner and conversation: Savory spaghetti, fresh salads, homemade desserts and hot beverages rounded out the fare. Over dinner, guests were introduced to the membership, and then became acquainted with current members through elevators speeches, conducted round-robin style.

Ancil Nance, the evening’s guest speaker is involved in a variety of opportunities within the online community as well as home business managment. Everyone in attendance received materials that supplemented his presentation: On-Line Marketing Tips and Techniques. Ancil also indicated this information can be found online at his website.


Ancil offered insight culled from an abundance of Internet resources and personal experience in On-Line Marketing. He covered harnessing the capabilities of web-based search engines. Ancil and the membership discussed the power of tag lines, keywords and goal seeking scenarios.

A lively question and answer period followed: What-If scenarios were offered and expounded upon during the discussion period. The dinner meeting forum, congeniality and idea sharing were a perfect segue way to May’s meeting: Marketing and Sales.

The May dinner meeting: May 15th, 2008 will be held 6-9 pm at the SMILE station.


Co-founder Neal Lubow will be facilitating a think-tank exploration on Marketing and Sales for Home Based Businesses. See the AHB Website to register, learn more about membership and the history of AHB.
