The purposes of this Meetup group is to educate the public in the tools and resources available in the Social Media Space on the Internet, and bring people together face-to-face. Online resources like Twitter, Squidoo, Skype, Jott and Aardvark, among many others, can be extremely beneficial to small businesses and nonprofit organizations...once you learn how to use them. In fact, a computer can become a wonderful automated virtual assistant that never tires, once you learn how to properly optimize its operation on your behalf. The workshops we have will provide lecture and hands-on instruction.
People who attend these workshops are encouraged to bring their laptops and log in to our WiFi.
Anyone interested in learning more about social media and optimizing their business presence there should plan to attend future workshops.
“ I had a postive experience. I will visit budurl.com and reconsider my decision to not buy a lap top. I thought both you and Mark were prepared and organized. ... ”
“ I would like to see many more people in this group. This would help Lake County by educating people in the internet tools available to promote businesses. ”
You'll get invited to our Meetups as soon as they're scheduled!
"Jackie,
Welcome to the Meetup Group. If you want to learn more about Social Media, you have definitely come to the right place. Visit our Discussion Section and you will pick up some valuable information. Come to our workshops with your laptop and cell phone and you will get a hands-on education in REAL TIME. And, if you do not think a cell phone has a Social Media impact, watch this video clip - http://budurl.com/SanFranF.

"So, you live in an area of Lake County which does not provide high-speed Wi-Fi. Rejoice - Sprint and Verizon Wireless have come to your rescue with a Mobile Wi-Fi device which fits in your pocket. Use it at home or on-the-go...."
"Looking forward to learning more about Facebook at the workshop."
"Welcome to the Meetup Group, Linda. Do you like Twitter tips? Visit our Discussion section. Do you like
Facebook? Register for our Saturday workshop. Be sure to bring your laptop to get a hands-on education in Social Media. If it's not too much trouble, bring your cell phone, too. Our special virtual guest, Kevin McNulty, is a big fan of Foursquare. I am hoping he will share what Foursquare can do to drive business traffic.
