Boost Your Seminar Attendance With The Power Of Social Media

One of the challenges that workshop and seminar hosts face is to get attendees to their events.

Fortunately with the rise of the internet and social media, getting the word out has never been cheaper or easier.  Or has it?

The internet has transformed the way individuals communicate and make choices.

No longer can you depend on pushing out information and expect attendees to show up for your events.  The Information Age is over and the Recommendation Age has begun.

The good news is that expensive ads in newspapers are no longer effective and are replaced with social media networks that are free or inexpensive to use.

The bad news is that the ever-evolving world of social media is overwhelming and sometimes it seems that you need an IT degree to make sense of it all.

Between Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube and Google+,
what works best for YOUR workshop?

Do you need to spend time on all of these networks promoting your events and if so, where are you going to find the time to plan your seminar?

Likely everything you seen on social media has been long on theory, NONE on “how to.”

It is enough to throw in the towel before you even begin, especially if you are new to social media.

You are an expert in your field and really good at what you do.  You coach, speak, write and change people’s lives with your insights and skills.

Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to connect with people who need exactly the kind of expertise that you offer?  The Social Web gives you the opportunity to nurture very real, human relationships through online mediums.

The kind of relationships that causes people to step up and say, “I want to learn more from you”.  The kind of relationships that entice people to come to your workshops and seminars.

Introducing a brand new kind of program

How to Market a Seminar With Social Media
is a step-by-step guide of what to do — and what to avoid.

It takes the overwhelming social media spectrum and breaks it into small, digestible pieces, so that you know exactly which step to take.  Spread out over 6 months, each weekly lesson is only 15-20 minutes long with clear action steps for you to implement that week.

I know that you don’t have hours to devote to learning and implementing.  Besides, information overload results in so-called “shelf-help”.  You know, the information that sits on your shelf or in your computer, but there is no way you have the time to implement it.

I want you to get your information in short bursts, so that you can actually do something with it.

Since not everyone learns the same way, you can choose to watch a how to video, listen to the audio or read the illustrated text lesson complete with screen shots. No matter how you prefer to learn, you will get the most out of this course.

The program provides you with methods to join conversations, engage audiences, and measure this interaction.  After all, what is the use of spending your valuable time and effort on social media networks if you don’t know if it works or not?

Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube and Google+ are all represented with lots of details on each social media venue.  In addition to lessons that give an overview of the venue, you will receive clear “how to” videos, explaining the basic steps of how to create an account.

Better yet, you will also learn how to use little known features to promote your event to a receptive audience.

Best of all, it explains which social media venue fits which event needs best. That allows you to have a presence on all the social media, but actively pursue the networks that will actually bring you results and attendees.

“How to Market a Seminar with Social Media is Brilliant”

Here Is The Truth:

The truth is, I am not some social media guru or even a big expert.  I don’t have tens of thousands of Twitter followers, and thousands of Facebook friends.  I am an event planner and workshop and seminar expert at heart and the creator of  the “How To Get Butts In The Seats Of Your Next Workshop Or Seminar System“  However, I love social media and have used it successfully for several years now.

When I started using social media for business in 2009, I saw the great possibilities and experienced some of the pitfalls as well.

Although I have build great relationships with clients on the different social networks and monetized my presence on social media, there have been times that I spent WAY too much time and not getting anything done.

I was tweeting and spending time on Facebook and next thing I knew the day had gone by.  Know the feeling? There was so much to learn, to see and to do and once you disappear down that rabbit hole, it is hard to get out.

I learned some valuable secrets and tools that help me get the most out of my social media time and how to avoid the dreaded rabbit hole.  I share them all in this powerful program.

It took time for me to figure out what network was working for me and why.  Where should I spend most of my time?  What works for me may not work for you.  Every audience is different.  However, in this course I give you clear insights in why one network works better for some audiences than others.

Why Am I So SMUG?

To show you how important social media is to me, I have been part of a SMUG group in my community.  SMUG stands for Social Media Users Group and it was a small group of entrepreneurs who came together every Thursday at 6am at the local Starbucks to work on their social media strategy.  (You either have to be crazy or super committed to do social media at 6am every week!)

Anyway, here is what one of them said about me:

I have also created a LinkedIn group that features some great conversations and tips about Seminar Marketing and I will share my experiences with LinkedIn groups in the course.

Why Should I Choose Your Program?

There are plenty of other social media programs out there that will teach you the basics.  Some of them are cheaper; some of them are more expensive.  There are programs that give you more technical knowledge and plenty that target marketing executives of larger companies.

However, this program is tailor-made for you:

The author, speaker, coach or entrepreneur that wants to use social media to promote their workshops and seminars.

Each feature of the social networks is clearly explained and applied to how you can use that feature to get more attendees for your workshops and seminars.  That’s it.

Social media is the most inexpensive way to market your workshops and seminars.  Although social media is a long term strategy, that doesn’t mean you won’t see benefits instantly.

And get some paying clients, too…
