Are you social. Sure you are! Well, in case you hadn’t noticed, there is a lot going on in the social media space these days. And, whether you think it is all fluff or not, you have to admit that there is evidence of some real website traffic mixed in with all those widgets and toolbar buttons.
Yet, everyone I talk to about using social media sites to get visitor traffic has been very interested and very confused all at the same time. So, to help cut through some of the confusion I have decided to host a TalkShoe conference call this coming Friday, September 14th at 7:00pm CST. and you are invited to participate. The call will cover social blog catalog sites and how they can be used to get move website traffic. If you want more website traffic that doesn’t cost you on a pay per click, then get in on this call.
Time magazine voted You as person of the year in their 2007 edition, but that doesn’t mean everyone understands the culture of the technology. Don’t worry, your not behind. These things are new and there are lot of them. That’s why you and I will discuss their benefits and their draw backs together. You will get all the information you need to successfully leverage these sites and build value for you and your site visitors.
Here are some of the things we will cover on the call:
1. 30 Second Caller Introductions (10 min)
2. Introduction to blog catalog sites (3 min)
3. Why a blog is better than a website (5 min)
4. How to create a compelling profile (5 min)
