My personal expertise in college planning is helping small business owners during these critical cash flow years. I help the whole range of small businesses - entrepreneurs, self-employed, home-based, solo-preneurs, and companies with less than 25 employees, and even multilevel and network marketing associates. One of the most critical things is connecting with your target prospects and staying connected with your clients and customers.
In the 21st century, much of the marketing dialog is taking place in Web 2.0 using social media, social networking and social networks. Your clients and prospects are living on Facebook, reading blogs (hopefully like mine!), using Twitter, and optimizing their results with tools like Google AdWords. You need to know about Web 2.0!
That's why I am so excited about the upcoming "Social Media Simplified" Mastermind event happening on 10-27-08. Because I am also a BIG supporter of nonprofits, it is being hosted at the Ventura Adult & Continuing Education (VACE)'s Technology Development Center with a share of the revnue going to the TDC! Here is the press release about the event. THINK about joining us but ABSOLUTELY order the DVD set with bonus CD.
On Monday, October 27 from 9AM to 5 PM, the Technology
Development Center (www.TDCTraining.com)
in Ventura is presenting a powerful Mastermind event for small business owners and
nonprofits who want to understand and profit from the rapidly growing Web 2.0
Social Media phenomenon. The seminar will feature 5 of the nation’s leading
experts who will share their insider information on how to use social media
tools to prosper in a tough economy.
The Mastermind event will feature the 4 most
powerful social media tools and their expert:
· Mari Smith on Facebook for small businesses (www.MariSmith.com)
· Deborah Micek on using Twitter to build loyal customers (www.RPMSuccess.com )
· Denise
Wakeman and Patsi Krakoff AKA “The Blog Squad” on blogging for business
profit (www.BlogSquad.biz)
· Simon Leung – Insider from Google AdWords!
The event is hosted
by Linda P. Taylor, (www.LindaPTaylor.com )
an expert in college planning for small businesses including LinkedIn. She will
present the “blueprint” to help small businesses take the information they will
receive to build a successful social media program for their special needs.
“We are excited to
host this first ever event at the TDC” said Teresa Johnson, TDC Director. “Not
only does the community get to learn from these 5 fabulous social media
experts, our students will get see first-hand how their training can qualify
them for jobs in the Web 2.0 world.”
Program host Linda
P. Taylor agreed. “I have spent over 30 years helping small business owners with
college-bound children or grandchildren use marketing to increase their revenue
to pay for higher education. Most wanted to try using social media but had no
idea where to even start! So I invited these international experts to come
share their insider knowledge.”
Director Johnson
continued, “If you’re like me, you probably don’t know a Twitter from a Pownce
much less how to use them. You wonder if you should blog, use Facebook, do
podcasts or YouTube, and how to fit it into current operations.” She then encouraged EVERYONE who is
interested in this rapidly growing set of marketing tools MUST be at this
event!
For those that can’t
attend, the entire event is being filmed and will be available on DVD with a
bonus CD for pre-order for $149 – a 25% discount from the $197 price.
