Biznet Social Media Training Event Recap

Wow.
(That’s the best way to start this blog post.)

The Biznet Social Media Training event was a great success. We had nearly 150 register, but had to take names for an additional session after 100 due to fire codes. There were a bunch of familiar faces there; if you were there and would like to leave a link to your site in the comments, you’re welcome to do so.)

I was really impressed with the turn out–and the way the Biznet team pulled together to make the event so successful! (Dave Biskner and I were texting after the event and, in his words, “Yeah, no kidding, right!? Best. Team. Ever!”

Interview with Roxanne Darling on Podcamp Hawaii

I was lucky enough to interview Roxanne Darling of Barefeet Studios about the upcoming Podcamp Hawaii. Roxanne knows a ton about using social media to promote businesses; her podcast, Beach Walks with Rox, has helped encourage tourism to Hawaii, where she lives and works.

In this interview, Roxanne tells me about Podcamp Hawaii, podcasting, and how to keep up even when we can’t be there. I even asked her about women in social media!

Here are the links mentioned in the video. Make sure to check them out. Each has a lot to offer!

Biznet in Social Media

Biznet is leveraging social media and continuing to build relationships with our target markets. As a small business, Biznet operates primarily in the Southeast Michigan area. To leverage our market we talk share our expertise in a social setting, which has lead to a fantastic network.

In fact, we moderate a Detroit Tweetups Facebook group and have hosted a hugely successful tweetup; pictured is @nevrus and @kasey22b from the event! (If you’re not already following us on Twitter, feel free to follow some of our team members (@shaunabiznet, @stevebiznet, @kevinbiznet, @davebiznet, @benbiznet, & @mpiccinato).)

Other businesses are reaching out for our help doing the same. Whether it be geo-targeting, demographic targeting, or whatever the identified market, we’re creating strategies to help maximize time spent and ROI. After the strategies are complete (which usually takes a few days), we launch profiles and content to help introduce the client to their new markets. Then the fun starts with maintainance–conversations light up, media flies everywhere, connections are made!

Social media was being leveraged prior to our business application. Originally, I met a few rockstars through twitter (@terrybean @charliecurve and @tomcurve). We all met up for lunch at a skevie taco joint when the conversation turned to my skills. That conversation turned into an interview with the Biznet team and soon after, I started!
