Social media is seemingly everywhere these days.
Twitter was the cover story of Time magazine last month. Seniors are joining Facebook by the busload to see their grandkids' photos. Blogs are replacing press releases as a communications tool. Companies are using YouTube to reach new audiences at a fraction of the cost of TV ads.
But you still have questions:
- Does my company really need a Facebook page?
- Will social media really drive new leads to my Web site?
- Can I use Twitter to sell?
- Why do I need a blog if I already have a Web site?
- Is this just a passing phase?
- How do I get started?
Well, now it's time for answers.
Over the past few months, Chrystie Corns, Jaica Kinsman and I have been scheming. We've been putting together a conference on social media marketing. We've got some of the most talented marketers to talk about:
- blogging & podcasting
- Twitter, Facebook, & LinkedIn
- using video to drive traffic to your Web site
- how social media improves search engine optimization
- and a lot more.
We've just launched the site for The Social Media FTW Fall Conference. This half-day conference will take place on Wednesday, 9/23/2009 from 1pm - 5pm with a 1 - 2 hour networking event to follow. (And the first round's on us...no joke!)
Kiosks, Have We Got Kiosks!
In addition to great speakers and presenters, we want to make this a hands-on, roll-up-your-sleeves event. We'll be having computer kiosks where volunteers will help you setup profiles for yourself and your business at Twitter, Facebook and other popular social media sites.
Already have a Twitter, Facebook, or LinkedIn profile setup? We'll give you quick, on-the-spot evaluations and tips on how to improve your profiles and get more bang for your buck.
It's only $79--which is a steal for all this great material. But wait, there's more! Through Friday, 7/24 we're offering an early bird special of $59! That's less than $10/hr (if you stick around the networking event for 2 hours.)
Since this is the first FTW conference, we're offering only a limited number of tickets. Tickets started selling within 30 minutes of the announcement of the new site, so please...don't miss out!

What the heck does FTW stand for, anyway?
