Want to win a free ticket to the biggest online social media event of the year? Of course you do!
After the success of last years competition, Mike Stelzner (the event founder) and I put our heads together to come up with something fun and interesting for you to get involved in. I think it is going to be great ๐
FIRST, WHAT IS THIS EVENT?
If you haven’t heard already, Social Media Success Summit is a HUGE online conference dedicated to help businesses succeed with social media marketing. More than 1,000 folks have already signed up, including GE, Intel, Staples, Electronic Arts, Lowes, Eastman Kodak, NCR, Harvard Business School, Thomson Reuters, Liberty Mutual, American Express and hundreds of smaller businesses.
24 (!) social media speakers are giving away their best tips at this online conference. We’re talking bestselling authors, business leaders and mega popular bloggers. Guy Kawasaki is giving the keynote, then we have, Chris Brogan, Darren Rowse and Brian Clark, who are always awesome. A social media conference wouldn’t be the same without the Queen of Facebook, Mari Smith (Facebook Marketing: An Hour a Day), Lewis Howes (LinkedWorking: Generating Success on LinkedIn) will be sharing his LinkedIn knowledge. So many names … Greg Jarboe (YouTube and Video Marketing), Kim Dushinski (Mobile Marketing Handbook),ย Home Depot, Best Buy, Whole Foods, Domino’s Pizza, Edelman PR, Foursquare, and Groupon.
Anyhoo, check out the full list and all the bios on these folks here.
The sessions will cover:
- Effective ways to market your company with Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, social bookmarking sites, mobile marketing and more
- How to track and measure the return on investment for social media programs
- A step-by-step method for creating a smart social media marketing plan
- How to build a loyal social media following
- How to bring more customers into your local business with social media techniques
Go here to see all the sessions.
This is more than just an event. It’s also a way for people to come together, share their experiences, meet the experts and network – all online.
At last year’s summit, 97% of attendees said they’d recommend the event to a friend AND attend again! That’s some endorsement.
Excited? Want to see how you can win?
