Syd Michael of Spike Promotions, Inc. has announced the launch of a new online digital training academy, http://LocalTrainingAcademy.com, directed toward helping local marketing agencies keep up with the latest trends in doing business online. It is a low-cost monthly membership site full of a variety of training videos, written summaries, and a private Facebook Group where members can ask questions and get answers from experts.

Michael says, “It’s difficult for smaller marketing firms to stay on top of the regularly changing landscape online, particularly with Google and Facebook. Since I am on a team that spends thousands of dollars keeping up with all of this, I thought, ‘Why not share this information?’ and Local Training Academy was born from this desire.”

The membership site has over 175 training videos, broken down into what Michael calls “Coffee-Break-Size” training modules. The subjects are diverse and include basics such as: Google Ranking, Citation Sites (other business pages online), Social Media, YouTube and other video marketing, Reputation Management, and building a WordPress website or blog.

Weekly live sales training calls, along with the replays posted a day later are part of the success blueprint offered by Local Training Academy.
“It’s our goal,” says Michael, “to provide an all-in-one-place for smaller marketing firms to get everything they need – from information and solid training to encouragement and the benefit of a lively community of like-minded entrepreneurs.”
