Tomorrow morning from 9:30-11:00 CST will be the social media micro conference for marketing and communication professionals. There were five free spots available for non profits but those have been taken. There are still paid slots available. We’ll talk social media marketing strategy and tactics with some specific things I do when I’m working on a social media marketing campaign.

Up to 10 people from your organization can listen online or on the phone and an MP3 recording of the entire micro conference will be provided after the event is over.

If you’re ready to join us you’ll need to go here or if you want a little more information, check out the full description of the event.

In two weeks I’ll be leading a micro conference especially for marketing, advertising, and public relations professionals. So, whether you work in a communications office, marketing staff, PR firm, or advertising agency, you qualify for this micro conference. The 90 minute micro conference will be on April 29 at 10:30am EST and will cover the following:

• Why new media marketing is worth a shift to your marketing strategies
• Growth statistics for new media technologies
• Explanation of the technology, the shift in online culture, and the shift in the way to communicate online
• How to think like a social media marketer
• The most effective strategy for social media marketing

Limited Space (but five spots are FREE)
Space will be limited to 30 companies/organizations. The price is $249 for the 90 minute conference but five of the thirty slots will be given away for free to non profits. If you work for a non profit or know of one that may benefit from the conference, pass this information along to them. All they need to do is send me an email stating who they are, what they do, and why they are interested in social media marketing.

Access For 10 People From Your Organization
Access to the micro conference will be available for listening online or on the phone. Participating businesses and organizations will be able to have up to 10 people from their company attend as well. That means if a couple people in one office want to gather around a phone or computer but someone else is a little less social…everyone can all listen from their respective locations. Or maybe one of the staff is traveling and will be driving all that morning. She can call in and access the entire conference from there.

Conference Recording Available to All Participants
The entire session will be recorded and emailed as an MP3 to the email address provided during the registration process…so even if someone from the staff is out sick that day or you just want it for future reference, you’ll be able to pass it on to the rest of the staff after the conference is over.

Your Questions Answered
The reason for limiting the number of participants is that I want to be able to answer at least one question from each participating organization. Once you sign up send me a question (or several if you like) and I’ll be sure to answer at least one during the course of the micro conference so I can answer something you specifically want addressed.

This is a little different kind of blog post for me because I’m just coming right out to promote something to you that benefits me directly. This Thursday I’m launching the first of what I hope will be many new media marketing teleseminars at 8pm EST on March 27. The teleseminar is a culmination of what I teach to marketing departments and in one on one consulting combined with the things I practice myself when I’m developing new media marketing campaigns or marketing for myself and my business.

What I’ve found most interesting after having consulted on new media marketing for over a year now is that the same principles apply to you no matter what your context. What I mean is, the advice I give to a guy just starting a CPA firm or gunsmith business is the same as a well known author or company that generates almost half a billion dollars a year in revenue. So it doesn’t matter if you’ve got a side business you hope will one day become your full-time job or you’re working on the next great American novel or you’re a marketing director in a mid-size company. The fact of the matter is that the world of marketing has changed significantly over the last several years and it’s changing every day. The ease of entry into this kind of marketing is virtually equal for the guy with a $12 marketing budget and the lady with a $12 million marketing budget. There’s a new way to approach marketing in strategy and execution and that’s what I’ll be talking about Thursday. It’s one part new media technology, one part new media marketing, and one part tips and perspective that I’ve learned from now doing it day in and day out. We’ll talk about blogging, podcasting, social networking, online video, and other forms of social media and how all of them are just waiting for you to use them well.

I hope you’ll join me this Thursday…or in a future teleseminar. Here’s the link for more info and to sign up for the teleseminar.
