Did you know that 57 million people read and follow blogs, according to PR Daily? On top of that, more than 12 million adults actually maintain their own blog. Almost 700 million people use Facebook, and Twitter boasts about 175 million users.
Social networking use has increased among 36- to 49-year-olds by 4 percent (from 22 percent in 2008 to 26 percent in 2010) and among 50- to 55-year-olds by 11 percent (from 9 percent in 2008 to 20 percent in 2010).
Still think social media is a fad and can’t work for your business? Think again!
Corey Perlman, best-selling author of the social media and Internet marketing book “eBoot Camp” is coming back to Fargo, bringing his workshop “Social Media for Business: How to Turn Social Tools Into Sales Tools.” He’s scheduled to speak from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 17, at the Holiday Inn Riverside in Minot, North Dakota.
Much has changed since he spoke to a sold-out crowd last year, and he will be sharing the latest strategies to drive real results through social media marketing. If you enjoyed Perlman’s workshop the first time, you won’t want to miss what he’ll be covering this year. If you haven’t seen him yet, you’ll finally get to hear how to use these social tools to grow your business.
You will learn:
- Specific strategies to increase your “likes” on Facebook and how to get people to want to do business with you.
- How to take LinkedIn from just another networking tool to your favorite business development tool.
- Why Twitter is not just about Justin Bieber and Charlie Sheen and how it can actually help drive business results.
- Important changes to how Google is ranking websites and what you can do to take advantage.
- Why your website and blog need just as much attention is all the social media sites combined.
