    Case Study: Hamilton Meetup

     We   needed a new place to have our meetups

     Jumped onto Twitter to ask about where we could
     have one using #HamOnt

     Hada community member recommend Romano’s
     (@romanos1275).

     After
         that we exchanged emails and let the
     conversation take off from there!
+                                                                        20

    Blogging… Why Me?

       Gives people a reason to visit your website on a regular basis

       Positions you as an expert in your field

       Opens an area for discussion and conversation
+                                                                           21

    How Do I Get Started With A Blog?

       Choose a platform that works for you. My recommendation is
        WordPress

       How often will vary depending on your “business”
           Community groups and non-profits – About once a month/quarter
           Businesses should post about once a week

       Check http://learn.wordpress.com for more on finding your
        focus and how to run WordPress

       Cost involved:
           .com site is FREE
           .org software is also free, just pay for domain & hosting
+                                                                        22

    Email Marketing (Mass Mailing)

       Common Tools are MailChimp or Constant Contact

       Allows you to email many people at once without limitations of
        ISP or Client (Like Outlook)

       Bill C-28 – Anti-Spam Law: Make sure that your campaigns
        comply with this law

       Emails must have an “unsubscribe” ability

       Must maintain a record of how, where and when you obtained
        permission from the recipient

       Allow recipients to decide how they wish to receive the email
        (HTML, Text or Mobile)
+                                                                            23

    Some Additional Tips

       Don’t put anything on social media that you wouldn’t expect to
        see on a billboard

       Don’t automatically cross post (i.e., Facebook to Twitter or vice-
        versa). Once in a while is okay, but for the most part, customize
        the message for the platform/channel

       You can manage your social media in about one hour per day;
        about 20 minutes at breakfast, lunch and dinner
+                                                                               24

    Take Away

       The conversation is going to happen whether you are there or
        not. You won’t be able to control it, but rather than ignore
        it, why not manage it and be where your clients are? –
        paraphrased from Scott Stratten

       It doesn’t have to be perfect, just genuine.

       Social Media doesn’t replace face-to-face, it should compliment
        it.

       In addition, if I offered you a free tool to help market to potential
        clients, even thousands, how likely are you to use it? That’s
        what I thought.

    Questions?
    And maybe some answers?

  • 19. + Case Study: Hamilton Meetup  We needed a new place to have our meetups  Jumped onto Twitter to ask about where we could have one using #HamOnt  Hada community member recommend Romano’s (@romanos1275).  After that we exchanged emails and let the conversation take off from there!
  • 20. + 20 Blogging… Why Me?  Gives people a reason to visit your website on a regular basis  Positions you as an expert in your field  Opens an area for discussion and conversation
  • 21. + 21 How Do I Get Started With A Blog?  Choose a platform that works for you. My recommendation is WordPress  How often will vary depending on your “business”  Community groups and non-profits – About once a month/quarter  Businesses should post about once a week  Check http://learn.wordpress.com for more on finding your focus and how to run WordPress  Cost involved:  .com site is FREE  .org software is also free, just pay for domain & hosting
  • 22. + 22 Email Marketing (Mass Mailing)  Common Tools are MailChimp or Constant Contact  Allows you to email many people at once without limitations of ISP or Client (Like Outlook)  Bill C-28 – Anti-Spam Law: Make sure that your campaigns comply with this law  Emails must have an “unsubscribe” ability  Must maintain a record of how, where and when you obtained permission from the recipient  Allow recipients to decide how they wish to receive the email (HTML, Text or Mobile)
  • 23. + 23 Some Additional Tips  Don’t put anything on social media that you wouldn’t expect to see on a billboard  Don’t automatically cross post (i.e., Facebook to Twitter or vice- versa). Once in a while is okay, but for the most part, customize the message for the platform/channel  You can manage your social media in about one hour per day; about 20 minutes at breakfast, lunch and dinner
  • 24. + 24 Take Away  The conversation is going to happen whether you are there or not. You won’t be able to control it, but rather than ignore it, why not manage it and be where your clients are? – paraphrased from Scott Stratten  It doesn’t have to be perfect, just genuine.  Social Media doesn’t replace face-to-face, it should compliment it.  In addition, if I offered you a free tool to help market to potential clients, even thousands, how likely are you to use it? That’s what I thought.
