Make no mistake; this is no ‘SEO for dummies.’

Rather, SEO Like I’m 5 is the ultimate beginner’s training system for forward-thinking businesses and entrepreneurs that will get you found on Google, social media, and blogs.

You will also learn how to attract followers and leads like a magnet by building a vibrant community around your content, which both users and search engines will love, and leveraging untapped, high-growth platforms and social networks. Lastly, you will learn how to make money online and monetize your content like a pro.

When it comes to SEO, you can spend all your time studying the roots, or you can just learn to pick the fruit. With the 2nd, 2015-updated edition of “SEO Like I’m 5,” our approach lets you focus on picking up the fruit, not studying the tree.

In addition to taking you through the strategic process of building and optimizing your online presence, “SEO Like I’m 5″ features dozens of free tools, ‘under-the-hood’ hacks, case studies, real-world examples, and actionable tips.

Why Read this Book?

There is an overload of information on the topic of SEO on the Web, most of it misguided or outdated, coming from self-proclaimed gurus.

Contrary to common knowledge, the ‘art of SEO’ is not defined by your ability to write code or hack Google’s algorithm. The truth is that today, online success has more to do with your ability to create amazing content, establish a strong social media presence, and build relationships with bloggers than writing lines of code or stuffing keywords into your meta data.

SEO Like I’m 5 takes you through an action-oriented, workshop-style, pain-free process to plan, build, and optimize your online presence, including:

– Where to start
– Which free platforms and tools to use
– How to build a search-friendly website
– How to build a killer content strategy
– How to become a rockstar blogger
– How to find the golden-nugget keyword opportunities
– How to monetize your website
– How to attract backlinks to your content
– How to build relationships with bloggers and influencers
– How to build a winning social media strategy
– How to make money online

Who is this Book for?

– Entrepreneurs and startups
– Forward-thinking small business owners
– Marketing executives who want to learn how to innovate like startups
– Students and professionals
– Authors, artists, and bloggers

The cool thing about SEO Like I’m 5 is that it offers more than just text. It comes with hundreds of screenshots and step-by-step instructions you can actually use while reading it.

About Lethal Lawyers by Dale Manolakas:

TOP 100 LEGAL THRILLER! ~~eBOOK ONLY $2.99 & PAPERBACK AT COST~~

Infighting, carnage, and sexual favors are the real rule of law at the Los Angeles law firm of Thorne & Chase! Complex characters immerse you in the cutthroat culture of big money law firms—firms where partners and associates must win at all costs. They cannibalize each other battling for money, power, love, clients, and ultimately their own survival. With blue-collar idealism and onerous student loans, first-year associate Sophia Christopoulos covets the firm’s money and power. But her new friendships, love, and success come with the shocking price of disillusionment, murder, and betrayal. When Sophia is hurled into a murder investigation, she is torn between ethics and firm politics, as well as love and truth. Fighting to save her career and life, she becomes the star witness—and then a target.

5-STAR REVIEWS! “Warning – don’t start reading until you have time!” “Author Dale E. Manolakas delivers with fully-realized characters who explode off the page. Visceral. Sensual. Alive. Highly recommended.” “A strong, scathingly entertaining commentary on the Los Angeles legal community. Keeps the reader guessing until the end.” “Wow! Powerful look into the law business!”

FROM THE AUTHOR

Lethal Lawyers is unique because of its authenticity and candid revelations. Although fictionalized, the many characters and legal incidences are based on actual persons, cases, and events in the practice of big law firm litigation in Los Angeles. Extensive experience and interviews, both of senior management and at the associate level, insured its accuracy, legitimacy, and realism.

After a life time of writing poetry, books, nonfiction, and legal documents, it was author Ray Bradbury’s friendship and encouragement that finally inspired Dale E. Manolakas to pursue writing as a career. He taught her that the characters wrote the book–she didn’t. Raised just outside Los Angeles by a surgeon father and a homemaker-author mother, Dale E. Manolakas had always aspired to an acting career, but also had to make a living.

Dale E. Manolakas earned her B.A. from the University of California at Los Angeles, and M.A., M.S., Ph.D. and J.D. degrees from the University of Southern California. She is a member of the California Bar, had the privilege of clerking for The Honorable Arthur L. Alarcón at the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, was a litigator in two major Los Angeles law firms, and a senior appellate attorney at the California Court of Appeals, as well as an Administrative Law Judge.

Before that she was a teacher, primarily at the high school, adult school, and university levels, and holds a public administrative services credential. In addition, she has pursued her passion for acting, primarily on the stage, but also in film and television. She is a member of both Actors’ Equity and SAG-AFTRA. She also has raised three very independent daughters and lives with her husband, a retired attorney, in an otherwise animal-free environment in California.

About Dead by Morning by Kayla Krantz:

Everyone has their problems in high school; pessimistic high school senior, Luna Ketz, is no exception. She is the obsession of the most popular boy at school, Chance Welfrey. Though many girls would kill to be in her position, Luna cannot help but feel that something is deeply wrong with him. When the town of Lima, Ohio is turned upside down by the mysterious ritualistic deaths of two cheerleaders, Luna’s life quickly becomes entangled in a web of lies and murders spun by the least suspected person in town.

Slowly, she begins to learn of an elaborate plot that endangers not only herself but everyone she loves as well. When Luna figures out who is behind the killings, things make a turn for the bizarre when she is contacted by a friend she has not heard from in years. It is then that she realizes that she is very much in danger, but although she can avoid the killer in reality, she cannot avoid him in her dreams.
