Why This Training is Important
You have to get found online if you're in business. Search engines love social media. If for no other reason, this is why you need to get with this program. But in case you need more, here are a few:

  • Enhance your credibility. Use this opportunity to share what you know.

  • Grow your network. Social media mentions, links, and connections grow like a spider web.

  • Improve customer service. Set up alerts so every time your company is mentioned, you'll know the instant it hits the Web.

  • Reduce marketing costs. Use free tools that will help your message reach all over the globe.

  • Drive traffic to your site. The potential is there to reach the masses and give them live links to your site.

  • Increase brand awareness. Get people talking about you and reading what you want them to know about you.

What You Will Do During This Training
Learn how to use Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook to grow your fan base and business. If you're not already using it, we'll help you set everything up and use them in class. If you're using it but haven't done much with it, we'll show you powerful, hidden features to take advantage of.

Class Outline

  • Twitter: Learn how to Tweet, Retweet, follow other users, send links. Also learn what not to do.

  • LinkedIn: Expand your profile with this online resume and start interacting with your network.

  • Facebook: Take this all the way with a full profile, other applications, connections to Twitter, your blog, presentations, and more. Build a fan page for your business and promote your services to an expanding group of followers.

What You Will Need

  • A laptop - ours or yours. Most students prefer to work on their own laptop and that's great as long as it's Internet-ready (wireless card-WI-FI). You should also bring an external mouse and mouse pad.

    If you don't have a laptop or access to one, you must let us know in advance so one of ours can be assigned to you.

  • Pre-work completed. You will receive a confirmation email when you register for this training. A link to the pre-work will be in that email.

  • Ability to be away from your cell phone during class. You can only turn on phones during breaks and lunch. This is the only way you can respect your trainer, stay focused and not ask questions that have already been answered, and not distract your fellow students.

Who is This Training For?
This training is structured for people who are computer savvy.

Your Trainers

Peggy Duncan has achieved what business people on the Web want but few have succeeded: she's on the first page of Google for her expertise and never paid one red cent to make it happen. She'll share what role social media has played in getting an interview on CNN, a national media spokesperson gig with AT&T, and a loyal following that credits her for their successes. Her technology blog, Suite Minute, was honored as Top Business Blog by Fast Pitch Networking, a leading community on the Web.

She is the author of Conquer Email Overload with Outlook, The Time Management Memory Jogger™, Just Show Me Which Button to Click! in PowerPoint 2003, and three ebook titled Shameless Self-Promotion, Create a Wordpress Blog, and Get Organized at Work.

Peggy has appeared on CNN, TODAY, Black Enterprise Business Report, and the US Virgin Islands PBS affiliate. Her expertise has been cited in Fortune Small Business, O-The Oprah Magazine, Real Simple, Essence, Fitness, Self, Men’s Health, Black Enterprise, Entrepreneur, the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, and a whole lot more.

Very meaningful and timely. You are so gifted ...
You take the complex and make it simple.
