Social Media Success Summit: Expert Advice for Your Business

Two years ago I “attended” the first Social Media Success Summit, a virtual event with “experts” from around the world on social media marketing. To be honest, I didn’t have high expectations; I was already being inundated with invitations for real world and virtual social media marketing events, and most were pretty weak on any compelling content. However, my friend Denise Wakeman

was involved, and she said it was worth my time. She had never led me astray before, so took a chance.

It was well worth it. Besides Denise, there was a host of great presenters who went well past how to setup a Facebook page.

This year marks the 3rd annual Social Media Success Summit, put on by the same people who put on the Facebook Success Summit and the recent Blogging Success Summit, where I had an opportunity to present. In short: these people know how to put on a content-rich event by marketers, for marketers.

As I scanned through this year’s lineup of sessions, here were a few I found most intriguing:

Finding and Engaging Your Target Audience With Social Media by Brian Solis, author of Engage: The Complete Guide to Building, Cultivating and Measuring Success in the Social Web
Facebook News Feed Optimization: How to Dramatically Increase Your Visibility and Engagement by Mari Smith, co-author of the book Facebook Marketing: An Hour a Day.
How to Create On-the-Fly Videos to Enhance Your Social Media Content by Steve Garfield, author of Get Seen: Online Video Secrets to Building Your Business.
Making Smart Decisions With Social Analytics by Kelly Feller of Intel’s Social Media Center of Excellence.
How to Hug Your Calculator: The 6-Step Process for Measuring Social Media by Jay Baer, co-author of The NOW Revolution.

Those were just a few that resonated with me; you should check the full list for sessions on blogging, LinkedIn, Twitter and more.

As with all the other Success Summits, you can attend the sessions live or download them for later viewing or listening.

The full summit, which includes 22 experts and 20 sessions runs throughout the month of May and costs $597. That’s a pretty amazing deal for 20 hours of content from some of the most recognizable names in social media today. What’s even better is that for a short time, the early bird tickets are available for just $297!

I consider myself pretty knowledgeable with social media, but the last two Success Summits were still worth my time and money…I expect you’ll find the same. Don’t miss out on the great savings…book your space for the Social Media Success Summit now!
