Building Your Online Community: Social Networks & Beyond™ ...virtual presentation Oct 6th

Today’s community isn't happening in Main Street coffee shops, over the phone or even through e-mail. Time constraints and generational transitions have led to the rapid growth of communities through Facebook, LinkedIn, blogging, Ning, Twitter, YouTube and other social networks. Certified Speaking Professional Michele Payn-Knoper has closely monitored the ever-changing social media world and grown her speaking business by applying these lessons to her niche in the agrifood business. She has been booked through these tools, had #AgChat (weekly streaming conversation on Twitter) featured in CNN and connected with reporters at The New York Times. You'll learn from her experience developing online communities and how social networks are impacting popular opinion about business.

MPK will help you find a road map to get started with an online community, understand differences between the major sites and how to stake your claim in Web 2.0. You'll be surprised with your ability to build online networks efficiently by creating a strategic social media hub. If you want to be seen as a leader in your community, Michele believes NOW is the time for you to be a part of social media in managing your image online. Her employment of these tools, initiative with NSA XY and leadership in agricultural advocacy landed Michele on this summer's "25 Hot Speakers" list in The Speaker magazine.

Bring your questions to this interactive session about social media strategy. You’ll learn:
 6 social media tools you can use in business
 Social media’s role in levelling the marketing playing field
 Demographics that will likely surprise you
 Action plan to get started on social networks in a matter of minutes
