Logix9 Helps Small Business Owners Leverage Social Media for Maximum Results

PHOENIX, AZ--(Marketwire -06/06/12)- In 2012, the business benefits of social marketing have, to a large extent, been well-documented. Most business owners, of companies big and small, are at least aware of some of the potential perks that come from maintaining a strong presence on Facebook, Google+, and Twitter. Even so, new uses of social marketing avenues are being discovered all the time; a recent Huffington Post article cites one surprising example, specifically noting the ways in which a social media presence can attract the attention of more traditional media outlets, leading to a wealth of positive publicity. Despite the myriad uses of social networks, however, many owners of small businesses struggle to use social networks effectively -- but an educational company called Logix9 is seeking to change that.

Logix9 is a company devoted to providing educational services to small business owners, typically in the form of Web-based tutorials and videos. The company has long provided a wealth of tutorials, all focusing on different facets of digital marketing technology. As Facebook, Google+, and Twitter become more and more prevalent in the marketing community, however, Logix9 is focusing more of its tutorials on the savvy implementation of social marketing practices.

The company has just unveiled a new set of classes, solely devoted to the use of Twitter, Facebook, and Google+ for small business purposes. The classes are designed to teach small business owners how to efficiently and strategically use social networking to boost their sales and improve their bottom line, while simultaneously enhancing their online image.

Though Logix9 is focusing much of its attention on social marketing principles, it has not abandoned the other tutorials that have proven so essential to its curriculum. Logix9 clients can still obtain lessons in Web design and HTML. They can also learn about affiliate marketing, e-mail marketing, forum marketing, and more.

Logix9 is a company with small business owners as its core demographic, and as such the company seeks to make its services accessible to small business owners. The online tutorials can be taken according to the small business owner's own schedule.

Additionally, the new social marketing classes are designed to be beginner-friendly. The company has long prided itself in being accessible to novices, and the same holds true with its latest round of tutorials. Even those with no prior experience in online marketing can benefit from these new Logix9 offerings.

ABOUT:

An Internet-based educational resource, Logix9.com provides instruction to small business owners. This program offers a variety of videos that individuals can view on their own time, allowing them to fit learning into their already busy schedules. The training modules presented cover a variety of topics, including web design, Internet marketing (including social media marketing), ecommerce, and more. To benefit users, each skill presented by the Logix9.com system is developed in an effort to improve the bottom line of small businesses.

Censorship impedes military inquiry, official says

OTTAWA Defence department censoring of crucial internal documents is impeding the search for the truth of why a young Canadian veteran killed himself, the chairman of a federal military inquiry said Tuesday.

In his first, albeit brief, public criticism of DNDs repeated blocking of documents related to the 2008 suicide of Afghan veteran Cpl. Stuart Langridge, Glenn Stannard said the censorship flies in the face of seeking the truth.

Defence Minister Peter MacKay has refused to allow the release of documents though has not publicly stated why.

Military Police Complaints Commission lawyer Mark Freiman echoed Stannards comment as the thorny issue of solicitor-client privilege and redacted documents sparked another round of testy sniping between inquiry lawyers.

I want to note how awkward and artificial ... extraordinarily artificial ... what we are doing is, said Freiman toward the end of his questioning of military police Sgt. David Mitchell, an investigator with the National Investigation Service (NIS).

Freiman, who has clashed several times over the redaction issue with federal lawyer Elizabeth Richards, said advice Mitchell sought from military lawyers during his investigation was key.

We are looking to see whether a reasonable investigation was conducted, said Freiman. A key element in that investigation has to do with legal conclusions that were formed in the course of the investigation, and we are not able to look at anything to do with that key element.

Richards has repeatedly told Stannard that Parliament has given his commission limited power and says he has no right to see documents that fall under solicitor-client privilege.

MacKay is legally the client of DND lawyers and the only person who can waive the privilege.

Parliament in its wisdom has seen to exclude from the oversight of this commission the ability to look at the legal advice that was sought and received by military police.
