Online, August 26, 2009 (Newswire.com) - Walnut Creek, California, Aug 26,2009 - Longtime marketing specialist Patrick Schwerdtfeger is delighted to announce "Webify Your Business, Internet Marketing Secrets for the Self-Employed", his new book on leveraging online tools, including social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook and YouTube, to grow a business. Aimed at entrepreneurs, small business owners, commission salespeople and service professionals alike, this 204-page paperback book offers a comprehensive and detailed marketing roadmap.

Webify Your Business, Internet Marketing Secrets for the Self-Employed includes 60 chapters with step-by-step instructions for entrepreneurs to leverage today's social internet to grow their businesses. Short and concise chapters are presented in a deliberate and strategic sequence designed to maximize results. Each chapter can be read in 10 minutes or less and offers an itemized to-do list at the end, allowing the reader to take immediate action and see results quickly.

Feature Highlights include:
* Internet marketing information recipients want and need
* Practical and unthreatening step-by-step instructions

* Itemized to-do lists at the end of each chapter
* A perfect format for both beginner and savvy recipients

"Todays professionals understand the internet offers tremendous business opportunities but they lack practical strategies to take action" said Patrick Schwerdtfeger. "Existing resources are too technical, too simplistic or too expensive. Meanwhile, new tech-savvy competitors steal customers from under their feet. Self-employed professionals want this information. They need this information. They're ready to act."

The book walks readers through the entire process of developing an online identity and includes detailed chapters on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and YouTube as well as chapters explaining today's social internet culture and how to leverage those trends. These topics are covered in the third section of the book, entitled "Participate in the Conversation". The book has five primary sections.

* Define Your Business Model (9 chapters)
* Build an Effective Website (12 chapters)
* Participate in the Conversation (12 chapters)
* Calibrate Your Online Identity (11 chapters)
* Drive Traffic to Your Website (14 chapters)

Broader than simply an internet marketing cookbook, the book offers sections for any new and existing business to define their business model, build an effective website, calibrate their online identity and drive traffic to their website. The steps described in this book lay the foundation for an impressive and sophisticated internet presence.
