The Key Is Collaboration[/caption]
Small business owners and non-profit stakeholders frequently ask me for helpful tips to improve their organization's brand awareness, and efficiency on social media.
While I do write how-to articles, answer any question on my Facebook Page, and speak for community groups, I find hands-on experience an effective way of relating points, and a perfect opportunity for learning.
2011 brought success with Pre-Holiday Facebook: Game Of Like. This was a simulation course of sorts, focusing on engagement and Facebook Page success for Facebook Page admins of all types.
2012 brings an excellent opportunity to offer access to many leaders collaborating to offer help on a wider spectrum of topics:
- Social Media.
- Careers.
- Non-profit.
- Lifestyle.
- Web Development.
- Design.
- And more!
We're calling it the January Jig - "Today's Topics By Top Industry Pros."

Thanks for the shout out, I’m looking forward to taking part in the January Jig. Hope I can add some value. I enjoyed Greg’s session yesterday… he had me in fits of laughter over the hair and finger thing… sign of a good teacher if they can keep you engaged, make you laugh and motivate you. I’ve made solid plans for my first DIY video (heaven help us) let’s hope it sticks 🙂

Kittie, Thank you for being a part of the January Jig — You will certainly offer value! SEO is something anyone with a website is interested in knowing more about. In fact, I could use a lesson or two, and I’m looking forward to your posts and “Expert Hour Chat.” 🙂 Greg is a hip guy, and he did a great job on Day 1. Lets compare notes on video progress, as I should probably kick my own efforts up a notch. Great to see you here, Kittie, ~Keri
