… And so you read some books
A few weeks ago, you started reading our blog, thinking, ‘damn socialsquared.com is so awesome’; and, then you were like, ‘whoa, I wish I was more social media savvy and could figure this stuff out a little. Like, whoa’. So, you ran down to Indigo and stocked up on social media books from their Business section. You read them all. Okay, you get it, social media has potential for you personally, and for your business. But, still, you have a few questions. Mainly, what is this social media thing again? Now what? Where to start? What then? Twitter? What’s my USP? Do I have an RSS feed? Does it matter? Should I read another book???
Stop what you are doing. If you are in Vancouver, I know where you need to start, Shrinking Violet’s, Social Media for Wallflowers.
Nice backswing, good contact, and nice follow through
I was invited to attend @shrnkngviolet‘s seminar earlier this week. There, social media coach, Chelsea Bell, lead a diverse group of people from various business backrounds, and social media abilities, through the core concepts, and real-life steps of getting started, and focused, on their online presence.
Held in a quality location overlooking a waterfront park, @Chez_Michel, it started with a delicious breakfast, so I was smiling from the beginning. From there, Chelsea guided the group through a variety of social media topics, drawing on her experiences, but focusing on the needs of the various participants. Overall, it was a well thought out, personalized, and accessible experience. Even though I am involved in social media, I was reminded of things I perhaps wasn’t as focused on as I should be, and little things I could do immediately to improve my presence. So, I was impressed with the quality of the information; but, moreover, when the seminar was done, she did not simply leave the participants hanging. Later in the day, @skrnkngviolet sent out some social media exercises, to help everyone get started; and encourage questions online. So, unlike other seminars that pump and dump you, @shrnkngviolet added immense value with her follow up. Thanks for the great experience @shrnkngviolet!
Now what?
