Wow…this couldn’t have come at a better time. Several of you just commented about wanting to learn more about social media and now, you can learn from the best–Peter Shankman and Chris Brogan are offering a social media primer for social media newbies for just $50 for as many people as your speaker can broadcast to. Thanks, guys…this is awesome.
How to use Social Media to drive awareness, grow your business, and generate revenue – A primer!
So you hear all this talk about Social Media on a daily basis, right?
Facebook this. Twitter that. Retweet the other thing… Almost daily, a HARO has me saying “going to teach a Fortune 100 how to use Social Media,” or “Keynoting a social media conference.”
You’ve heard the term “140″ but have no idea what to do with it. 140 what? Dollars? Bottles of Beer on the wall?
Damn this Social Media!
What exactly does it mean?
If you’re a small business, how should you be using it?
What do you do?
Do you create a Facebook page and hope for the best?
Twitter out your opening hours once a day? (No, by the way…)
What works? How do you get people to listen? And most, most importantly – How do you generate revenue from all this stuff? Because in the end, while getting “buzz” and “virality” is nice, if you’re not generating revenue, then you’re failing. So how do you do it?
Join two of the brightest minds in social media today, (as said by other people – not by them!) Chris Brogan and Peter Shankman, for a one-hour conference call for small businesses - “How to use Social Media to drive awareness, grow your business, and generate revenue – A primer!”
This one-hour conference call is designed for professionals running a small business, or running a one-person-show. It’ll cover the basics of social media. LinkedIn. Twitter. Facebook. Groups. Fan Pages. Followers – All the things you’re hearing on a regular basis, but don’t know how to use!
(This is NOT designed for the Twitter user with thousands of followers – but rather, for those who want to get there.)
Using personally tested case studies both from Chris Brogan’s company, New Marketing Labs, and Peter Shankman’s company, The Geek Factory, as well as major case studies from companies big and small around the globe, you’ll leave this one hour call with a solid footing in the world of social media – ready to go out and join the masses currently immigrating to this new and exciting world.
And don’t worry – it’s nowhere near as hard as you think it is!
How much is it?
We did some investigating and found a few other similar calls (with people we have never heard of) ranging in price from $200 to $399 per piece.
No.
As always, the HARO conference calls are $50. Fifty Bucks for as many people as you can fit around your speakerphone!
