Social Media Kick-Off Meeting

This will be an introductory phone-in meeting at which will talk about some of the following topics based on the kick-off meeting of a new group I started in Oakland -- the Social Media Connectors. Please feel free to join that group (www.meetup.com/socialmediaconnectors.

If anyone in the Oakland or SF Bay area would like to be an assistant organizer and host a meeting on that date where you can join in as a group, please send me an email with your e-mail and phone number so we can discuss this. The plan is to create a network of groups in cities around the U.S. to assist each other in using and monetizing the social media and share or develop resource materials which all can use. The topics to be discussed at this first meeting include:

• the different social media that group members use

• what has worked effectively in selling products or services or getting clients, and what hasn't worked well

• how we might be able to support each other on the social media, such as offering recommendations

• how members prioritize their time on different social media platforms

• using assistants to help in keeping up with the social media

• the relationship between blogs, websites, online advertising, YouTube and other social media platforms.

We'll also talk about future activities and hear from one of our members talk about using the social media to find and recruit people online.
