As Sue said in the previous post, our first few classes were a success…and a heck of a lot of fun! There have been times when we could actually see when things seemed to click for people. We’re both pretty enthusiastic about social media, so we love it when we are able to help people get started. And seeing that ‘click’ is really rewarding for us both! We’re looking forward to our upcoming classes and have quite a few we’re developing. And since both of us think of social media as being valuable and fun, our goal is to make each of our classes just that…valuable and fun.

THE POWER OF TWITTER – Learn Why Less Means More Than Ever! is our next class. This is one of our Hands-On-Workshops, which means you’re going to actively work on your Twitter account during the class. We’ll help get you up to speed on what Twitter is and how to use it, and by the time the class is over you’ll have your own account, be following some interesting people and even a few followers yourself!

THE POWER OF TWITTER – Learn Why Less Means More Than Ever! is scheduled for Wednesday, June 10, 2009 from 6:30 PM – 8:30, and will be at the hip south Austin offices of Mercury Mambo. Visit our Eventbrite page for more information and to register for THE POWER OF TWITTER – Learn Why Less Means More Than Ever!

By the time this class is over you will…

… have a  Twitter account
… have a written personal profile and avatar photo
… have several followers
… be following at least 25 people and know how to follow more
… have had at least one conversation on Twitter
… have ReTweeted someone
… have searched for specific people you are interested in following
… have ALL your Twitter questions answered, and THEN some…

You’ll laugh. You’ll learn. You’ll tweet! Hope to see you there!

Therese and I are excited to let everyone know that we are now teaching social media classes! Yes, it’s true! We can help you keep those social media migraines at bay!

We’ve been working on our presentations for a while now, and wanted to make sure everything was ‘just so’ before taking our show on the road, so to speak. Turns out we both have some strong perfectionist tendencies.

We taught our second Social Media 101 class last week and the response was awesome! Therese and I covered a ton of material in this overview class; Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, Linkedin, Flickr, as well as general explanations of Web 2.0 and social media marketing. Of course we had to include several examples of customer evangelism, the good, the bad and the ugly. That’s always impossible to resist because it’s so compelling and most entertaining!

If we have enough interest, we may teach this class on a Saturday instead of our regular Wednesday nights. Just let us know if you want to reserve a spot for the next one. This introductory class is set at $39, so it’s a real bargain. You can keep tabs on up coming classes on our When Everything Clicks EventBrite page. Hope to see you at the next one!
