It's pretty obvious that social media should be part of any online marketing strategy. Unfortunately, there are more social media sites online than there are hairs on my head.

I'd like each one of us to share what social media site they are using for their business and how it's helped them.

If you aren't using social media and you don't have anything to share, that's a good indication that you HAVE to be there to listen to the group.

I'll conclude with a 15 minute info session on marketing using Twitter.

See you all there.

Our last meeting was such a success with E-Business Rockstar - Anita Smith (www.simplylikehome.com) we've decided to turn this into a series and invite other ebusiness owners to get their ideas and secrets to success.

I am honored to have Rick and Paige Murphy, who recently implemented streaming, webex and evite tools to take their page views from 5-7000 a month to it's all-time high of 15,166!! Of course, page views don't mean revenue - they will tell us how their conversation rates have expanded with consumers and partners.

We spoke about alliances and joint ventures, but Rick and Paige take their partnership program to the next level with the motto 'Leave No One Behind'.

See you in a few weeks-

Gracie.

Hello All -

It appears the system automatically set this date - we have not yet set another date or topic for the next event!

For those who missed the last PR discussion it was wonderful - we learned about PR messaging, building a PR plan, local verses global, and the importance of understanding the process. Special thanks to Mary Anne Gunn & Marika Flatt for their time and sharing their expertise -

Stand by for the next announcement -

Gracie.

Great meeting in June!!
The topic was 'How do I build my business using social networking?'

Anna Miller, David Armistead and Jon Lebkowsky unveiled how much we didn't know about what we didn't know!!! And?offered to create a sandbox for us on Facebook.

1) what is social networking?
2) difference between blogging (your own verses other interesting sites you want to link to) myspace, facebook, 2nd life, linked in, ning.com, bizarre voice.com ?. etc. Are there categories of social networking arenas
3) As Dan Castro suggested, 'go where the faucet is turned on!' e.g. How would I find the best parenting social sites to support 'beinspiredby.com'?
4) what the heck do I do when I get there?
