Social Media in Real Life

Learn about social media and how to use these free (or nearly free) online tools to connect with potential clients and find like-minded folks. The unique cultures and usefulness of social media sites such as Flickr, Twitter, Delicious and Facebook will be outlined. Focusing on blogs in particular, you will learn how write compelling content, how much and how often you should write, and where to get great ideas that will entertain your readers. Storytelling basics will be shared. Find out who's visiting your site and where they come from, what tags and hashtags are, and how to manage the syndication of your blog posts, tweets and other online "lifestreams." Taught by Michelle Anderson (@mediaChick on Twitter) and Melissa Lion, a professional writer.
