This past week I gave a presentation on Blogging and Social Media in Your Business to a local group of 60+ entrepreneurs. The talk was sponsored by the ATDC and the Creative Coast here in Savannah.
The talk was designed as an introductory talk for business people who didn’t yet have an understanding of what blogging and social media is all about. Because most of the people in the room were not much beyond the “we’ve hear the terms” phase it meant I had to cram a ton of information into the 30 minutes I was given. (For some reason when preparing I thought I had 45 minutes plus 15 minutes question time not 30/15. Oops.)
I told the folks to buckle their seat belts and hold on ’cause I threw a bunch of information at them very fast.
My hope was that everyone would find at least one nugget to walk away with that they could take back to their own businesses and get thinking about the possibilities.
Here are the slides I presented for any who are interested.
Enjoy!
Wow, you only had 30 minutes to tell them about social media and blogging! Either one of those would have taken up a half hour alone, good job getting all that information in.
There is a certain difficulty to finish such abundant information in 30 minutes. I think the presentation must have been very well done since all social media concerned information is included in the slide show.
Excellent job, Chris! You packed a lot of good information in your time.
Yes, awareness on blogs with the entrepreneurs is really low. There is a huge improvement in last 1 year as well. Small business owners are realizing and starting their own blogging network so that they can increase the traffic and create faith in the market that they are the real company who do a fair business. Article marketing is also helping them a little bit.
Thanks for posting this up. I think that social media is here to stay for a while, at least some form of it. It would be impossible for people to go back to strictly using wmail and simple chat.
I initially found this post to be much smaller than other posts. But when I read I found information packed really well.
