- I’m looking forward to running two social media workshops with participants of Langara’s Self Employment Program again this month.
- Social Media Workshop 1: May 9, 2013
- Social Media Workshop 2: May 16, 2012
- Objective: to offer practical advice for new business owners – how to promote businesses using social media based on my experiences as a social media manager for my clients, as well as my own experiences as a business owner!

- I’ve developed these workshops to be helpful to all participants regardless of their familiarity with the platforms covered. Participants already active in social media will be able to use the workshops to enhance their social media presence while others will get the information they need to begin. We can all learn from each other – there are so many different social media platforms now that I always pick up a few tips myself during these workshops!

Social Media Workshops Overview
- Social Media 1
- Social media policy.
- Success stories (and cautionary tales).
- Due to time limitations, our focus during the first workshop will be on 3 platforms (Linkedin, Facebook, and Twitter), plus- if we have time- blogging in general (WordPress, Blogger, Tumblr, etc.)
- Homework assignment(s): participants may select 0-4 assignments based on the platforms, depending on their time commitments and comfort level.
- Social Media 2
- Advanced work on 2 platforms (determined by participant interest during the first workshop).
- Advanced social media: content strategy, tools (widgets, buttons, management tools), online/offline marketing (free, paid), and success measurements.
- Social Media Support: 1 on 1
- Participants of the program can also book an appointment with me – I have 4 hours of advisory and counseling services available for one-on-one support. This is an excellent opportunity to get free social media coaching: 100% about you and your business.
- Participants who choose to complete all of the homework could have their businesses set up on all 3 platforms as well as a blog and a content strategy (including use of tools for integration) by the end of the second workshop.
- Participants already active in social media will have taken their social media presence to the next level.
