Event Details

This workshop follows on from our Social Media Business Breakfast.

You can book to come for the morning session, the afternoon session, or both.  Your choice.

Social media is often maligned when people hear about such things as throwing sheep, sharing cupcakes, playing mafia wars... this session is different.  We will look at how the two popular tools can be used for business.

What is the session about?

This full day workshop will introduce you to two of the most popular social media tools, that you can use to promote your products and services.  It is a hands-on workshop.  Each attendee will have their own PC to work from.

It will include advice on which blogs to follow online to increase your expertise in using social media and to improve your online image.  It will conclude with suggestions of what to do next.

What are the session objectives?

  • To gain a working knowledge of the basic business elements of both Facebook and Twitter
  • To begin to shape your online Profiles for business use
  • To practice updating your profiles and tweeting in a way that will attract Friends and Followers
  • To set up accounts with basic automated tools that will make updating your profiles a little easier
  • To set up RSS feeds of useful information that you can use to fill out your online content
