So What is a Social Media Expert Anyway?
Before you know how to make something work online, you need to know HOW it works. From being the first Internet salesman in Toronto, through successfully meeting his girlfriend online, to launching an unknown band to become the number one requested song in markets across America, Billie will take you through the ins and outs of social technology to learn how these technologies work, how you can make them work for you, and deconstruct the myth of what a social media “expert” is.
Storytelling
The hero leaves everything they know to face the Great Ordeal and return with a message that when absorbed by their community, enriches us all. All stories have a strategy in the way they are told on how to deliver the message encoded within. Mintz will take you through the three act structure of storytelling and how it can be applied to your social media strategy in order to engage your audience with the message you want to convey.
Social Technology
Its not about how many online “friends” you have, its about the quality of relationship you have with them. We are able to communicate with each other like never before. The way humans use web applications and social networks is what determines how you should plan your strategy in reaching people through social media. Billie will take you through a step by step plan on how to effectively launch your social campaign, whatever the form of social media you use.
Summary Profile
