Coffee & Conversation: Social Media Networking Group
Starting tomorrow morning I will be leading a new social media networking group with the Bedford Chamber called “Coffee & Conversation.”
The group will be held every other Thursday at Cup-A-Joe on South Street in Bedford.
Tomorrow’s topic will be “Improving Your Online Presence.” We will be discussing:
- The biggest questions and controversies about social media
- 5 things you can do to improve your online presence
- How chamber members can help each other’s businesses using social media
I am also beginning to host small group coaching sessions, learn more by going to the Coaching page here.
What a GREAT group at Cup A Joe this morning, very interactive and talkative! We talked about what social media is, what some of the biggest myths about social media are (such as “Social Media replaces your current efforts), answered some questions from people such as “Should I have a personal profile AND a work profile?” and “How can I manage my time using social media? How much time should I be spending on it?”
We even had a great discussion about older generations trying to adapt to using social media. The fact is that if you want to reach a younger demographic, you have to either adapt or hire someone to do it!
And last, I listed 5 things we can all be doing to increase our online presence:
1. Be Online
2. Have a plan
3. Ask: do I have an online business card, or do I engage others?
4. List yourself in online directories
5. Never stop learning
Next time we might meet at the Library to use their big screen projector! Thanks everyone for a great meetup!
