JoeNetworks - Alverno Class - WEB 2.0/SOCIAL NETWORKING 101


TELESIS Lifelong learning for the BEST of your life! Institute for
Educational Outreach Alverno College 414-382-6200
WEB 2.0/SOCIAL NETWORKING 101: The Revolutionary New Way To
Promote Yourself or Your Business 2 Mondays, March 16 & 23 The
latest buzz in the world of professional networking is probably
coming from your computer! Call it Social Networking, Social Media
or Web 2.0. Call it Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn, Twitter or
downright Del.icio.us. Whatever you call these new forms of online
web communities, they are revolutionizing the way we communicate
with each other to gain more professional visibility, promote our
businesses and collaborate with kindred spirits. These tools allow
professionals and businesses to reach almost any audience quickly
and cost-efficiently while increasing opportunities for
collaborative brainstorming and problem-solving. Not intended to
replace personal face-to-face networking, Social Media can widen
your world in ways you never imagined! This is a communications
revolution that can't be ignored, so jump in and find out what the
buzz is all about. Instructors: Steve Glynn, president of
Spreenkler, a company dedicated to tapping forward-thinking,
creative minds to support local start-ups, strengthen Milwaukee's
brainpower, and increase talent retention in greater Milwaukee.
Katie Felten, LinkedIn trainer and technology innovator.

JoeNetworks - Notes - 1/28/09

Hey Joe,

I cannot imagine how the importance of communicating with JoeNetworks members has escaped me thus far. Here I am telling you to communicate more often and I have not been listening to myself talk. Silly me.

Notes from the morning meeting - 1/28/09.


• This morning we'd done some homework on behalf of Greg Kane. 414-856-9004 - greg@kwsins.com He's looking at getting a makeover on his website. We helped him come up with some questions to ask the new provider. The biggie was on becoming an expert - a little how and why on producing and delivering more informational tips to his insurance customers.

• Bryan Gnadt of Cablecom won the breakfast kitty this morning. Thanks to everyone and ten bucks to Bryan. We might be able to help him with his presentation. However, there's not much we can do about his print or web material as those are corporate decisions. We reinforced an idea he's had that it might be worthwhile to explore Linkedin.com and Meetup.com

BTW, Bryan also sends a hello to Bob Streigel. Hello Bob.

• Stan shared his weekly marketing tip with us this morning. "Enthusiasm sells - not product knowledge."

• Burt's hand-out for the morning was titled The Elevator Speech - a How-To Guide for Anyone. Thank you, Burt. Read more here - http://imagimarketing.com/biztips/Elevatorspeech.htm

• Sandy is finding success with her Vision Board workshops and Women's Retreats. Sign up here - http://www.SandyWalden.com

• Pat is looking for appropriate venues for Spanish classes. Specifics to follow as they are available.

• I shared a note from a marketing blogger. "Whether product or service - you're in the media business first."

• I asked for referrals to folks that need their resumés proofed and edited. I also mentioned that the website is now set up to take PayPal payments.

VISITORS / NEW MEMBERS

• Jeremy Belter, fitness consultant, visited with us for the first time this morning. I think he'll be coming back. Reach him here: 414-234-8697 http://www.JeremyBelter.com - http://www.JeremyBelter.blogspot.com He shared with us tips on the importance of social media. Several knowing nods. Some of us are working on various aspects of that. More on all this later. This might be a useful topic for discussion, demonstration, presentation.

• Steffanie Glaser, Rejuvenate Therapeutic Massage, is interested in joining us as time permits. Soon, I hope. David had a wonderful, and much needed, neck massage yesterday.
