  • Hi everyone!  I am Laura Griffin.  I have worked in the web world since 1997 and have worn many hats from design to marketing.  In 2003 I found my strongest skill set is in digital marketing.

    I have been working again this past year after recovering from a serious car wreck.  While I was healing I followed many sites including this one, worked on certifications and improving my skills.

    Today I work as a contract with Paulson Management Group and I provide local marketing to small businesses here in Denver.   

    I have a few new Facebook pages I need to market and was excited to join the group!

  • Hi I have several Facebook pages and twitter accounts so I need to learn lots more to make these work as well as i know they can.  

    I have helped a few businesses put up Facebook pages, and can always learn more about marketing on Facebook.  Every time I turn around I seem to learn something new that I hadn’t seen before.

    What I learn I will share for anyone who is interested, both at my blog http://www.topmarkmediastrategies.com and here.

    I am going to need some help trying to figure out what sort of a Welcome App I should create to promote a “trial offer of my skincare.  More on that as we get closer to actually working on it,

  • Yellow! I’m Hanna, and I work as a social media deep sea diver in a small Finnish company called Zento.

    I coach businesses and organisations to use social media and therefore I do my fair share of diving into social media sites etc. Try to practise what I preach.

    My personal interests lie in coaching personal branding in social media for professionals, audience engagement and event marketing in social media. Because the greatest Finnish masses are in Facebook, it is the main network to teach. I’ve run plenty of pages (and other profiles).

    What I’ searching from this group? Mainly fresh ideas of course. I’m currently trying to engage our customers to participate in 30 day social content challenge, it can be found in English at Pinterest http://pinterest.com/pin/204280533067707754/

    Our small Facebook Page is here (mainly in Finnish): https://www.facebook.com/zentointeractive

    Zento’s key ingredient is our blog (in Finnish):

  • Hello Everyone,
    I am very excited to join such a great group of forward thinking entrepreneurs! I started my own Mortgage Brokerage firm in Northern Alberta in Canada last May. I have been lending for over 10 years and have welcomed the challenges that owning your own business present.

    I mostly am self taught with the exception of a Duct Tape Marketing course and listening to a few speakers when it comes to Social Media. That being said… I LOVE to learn!!!

    I also sit on the board of The Rainbow Society of Alberta a wish granting organization that assists children from the ages of 3-17 who are chronically ill or have a life threatening disease. .93 cents of every dollar that is donated goes to our cause – sooo you can imagine that we don’t spend a lot on marketing! I would love to utilize the knowledge I gain for both my Business and our organization!

  • Hi,

    Does anybody have any report or white paper about the new Facebook Timeline for Business Page ? They just announced to switch to the Timeline format by March 31. This will make a big impact of our current Layout ? 

    In particular, we use different Facebook Apps from different developers like Lujure, Pagemodo, Woobox ..etc., and in this new Timeline format, it is showing a big tab with the logo of these Apps developers.  I was wondering if anyone knows how to customize those Apps Logos to our own graphics.  Do we have to join the “white label” version of each Apps in order to have our own image there ?

    Appreciate any comments ! I guest we still have 30 days before the change.

  • Hello everyone.

    My wife is the handsome one on the right in the photo. I’m the schlep on the left. After several years of ministry in the bush Alaska mission field as a missionary pastor, circumstances beyond my control forced me to have to leave my beloved Aleut and Yup’ik brethren.  I know live and minister in Anniston, Alabama as pastor of a church in a rural community on the city’s outskirts.

    I actually had no interest in joining Facebook when I lived in Alaska, but after leaving in early 2008, my wife told me to sign up so she could list me as her husband on her Facebook profile. Since then, I not only have my blogs and other material post on Facebook, but I also have several Pages, the primary Page being for my latest book, Christ and Him Crucified (http://www.facebook.com/Christ.Crucified).

    It’s great to be on SME and on this forum in particular. I look forward to meeting you and learning from you expertise and experience.

    I started doing PR when my parents decided that instead of retiring they wanted to open a coffee shop with my younger sister. So Coffee and Friends Cafe was born.

So I’ve learned a lot in the past 2 years I’ve been helping out my family. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Coffee-And-Friends-Cafe/475662315243

    Now I’m the Marketing/Designer for a co-operative grocery store called East Lansing Food Co-op. We are community owned and offer healthy food alternatives to the big box store. We focus on local, fair trade and sustainable products. http://www.facebook.com/elfco

    I am looking for more guidance and to keep up on trends. I would love to blog more but I’m just not sure what to write or how to keep it going.

    I hope to get marketing ideas from my time here, in particular, strategies to turn fans into customers.. a huge fan base is no good if it doesn’t lead to more sales.

    I am always trying to learn more and I think these forums are the most effective tool through the exchange of information. I have not yet ran an ad on Facebook but plan to start one for a plumber in April.

  • Hi Folks,

    I am Charles and I am just starting out in Social Media. I have had a couple of business in the past – Photographic Studio and Used Car Dealership (I like variety). I have worked a job for a few years now but realise that my pension plan (which kicks in in 9 years time) is not going to hack it as a sole income source. I have been learning a number of things about online marketing. I have managed to avoid spending as much as most seem to of done and got mostly good stuff for my investments.

    I don’t quite understand how to act in a social manner on the various networks without being trite and irrelavent – any assistance gratefully recieved.

    My outside interests are photography, writing, woodturning and I am about to embark on learning the guitar.

    My Facebook pages are’

    https://facebook.com/discoverdiamondjewelers

    I have set these up to practice but don’t quite know how to monize them yet – again any help greatfully recieved.

    So that’s me and I look forward to getting to know more of you in the days, weeks and months to come.

  • Hi Everyone!

    The company I work for is just starting to really get into the social media aspect of business, which is good because we are an internet based company :) Some how my job changed from office manager to internet sales specialist. I am a jack of all trades!

    We are an online light bulb, ballast and fixture company. Sounds super boring right? That is what I thought when I started working here but the light bulb industry is changing a lot because of the government ban non energy efficient lighting. We are defiantly here to help find the best alternative for them and ask any questions they may have. Believe me there are a lot of questions!
    I am hoping to learn a lot here from you more experinced social media guru’s!

  • Hello, my name is Nicholas and I guess I’m coming from a different angle compared to most people here.  I have a travel content website that used to be a travel service website.

    I started to get going with social media last summer but hit some bumps in the road along the way.  I’m getting back into it now not only for my travel site but I’ve always been interested in developing another site related to marketing and social media. Cheers!

We’ve got a fairly solid number of fans, but are way behind the times with how we engage them.

    My goal is to change that. 
       I‘m here to learn what we should be doing and get our social media presence booming but also share any insights I learn along the way.  Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/acquirethefire  Website: http://www.acquirethefire.com  Thanks to all who will undoubtedly help and coach me along the way!

  • @ daveyob How do you do things differently for the auto repair industry?

  • @angelikakindermann SMM can be overwhelming even when its your full time job. Having it a one aspect to your growing business would be stressful. I haven’t worked with your vertical market before but I think Pinterest would be good for you. I think you would need a voice on Facebook and Google+ for sure. Unless you are someone that can dash off blogs like creating a no-sew pillow, I would become a great responder to other home decor blogs before going all out on a weekly blog of your own. Here is a great tool I use to make sure my clients have covered most of their basis: http://getlisted.org/.Good luck, I hope I helped. I think you are in the right place to learn.
