I’ve got two exciting announcements for anyone looking to learn more about social media and how it relates to their small business. I’ve been lucky to be involved in the learning process with many Small Businesses Owners as part of Small Business BC’s learn Social Media Seminars. Here’s two dates to keep in mind:
Getting Started with Twitter
Date: May 6, 2009
Time: 12:00 pm PST to 1:00 pm PST
–>Price: Free <—
Come to this introductory session to learn how Twitter can help you network and build value online for your business. This seminar will show you how to bring together a community interested in sharing business and knowledge and answer questions like is Twitter relevant to my business and how much energy do I need to dedicate to this tool? Brainstorm with other small business owners on how to engage a network of twitter followers and determine if Twitter is right for you and your business.
or
Social Media: What’s in it for you and your small business?
Date: May 21, 2009
Time: 10:00 am PST to 12:00 pm PST

This workshop focuses on understanding social media, what is it and how it’s connecting people. A focus will be given to understanding what opportunities exist for small business owners to leverage social media for business growth and prospecting. Topics covered include privacy and control; social media pit falls and super stars and first steps to social media success. Some tools discussed will be Twitter, Blogs, Facebook, and creating social bookmarks.
Registration
Both seminars, even the free one, require that you register online here. If you have any questions on what we’ll cover please contact me via my about page.
My goal is to make these Small Business BC seminars relevant to participants, if you have friends, co-workers or bosses who don’t get this “social media thing” this a great opportunity for them to get in the know!
