Hello Everyone! My name is Jojo and I’m a SEO, Social Media and PPC manager from the West Country in the UK. I’m relatively new to the field, my background is from more traditional print marketing, so I’ve relied heavily on the excellent advise and articles from Social Media Examiner over the past few months!
I’ve found that after friends and relatives have heard about my new venture, all kinds of favours and advice are required! This is fine if a little exhausting, however I’m loving being able to help.
This link is to a FB Page that I’m in the process of helping to develop. https://www.facebook.com/ArtshedArts. If you like jewellery and crafts, Check It Out!

Looking forward to chatting and sharing having lots of fun in the future.

Hi everyone!

My name is Lauren Bersaglio. I am the Founder of a non-profit organization called Libero Network (an online magazine of sorts, with a network of writers covering topics such as eating disorders, depression & addiction). Facebook is a HUGE part of what we do because we use it as a platform to share not only our own original posts, but also other blogs/articles that may be helpful/encouraging to our followers.

You can check out our page here: http://www.facebook.com/libero.free

I’m excited to be part of this club!

@brianloebig, Hi Brian, if you are in the process to find a place where to live in Bethesda, please save all the information you can find for me, probably I will need it pretty soon, My son is moving over there, this August to attend Georgetown Prep.

It’s good to know it Brian, I also was thinking on a rent, but now, I will think twice. I will contact you close to August, to be ready with more information before my trip over there. For now, my son will be livinig at the school. Thanks, and welcome to this incredible Club!

Hello,

Thanks for new topic. I like it.

Salutations,   I am a Food and Beverage professional who has taken a deep interest in what Social Media Marketing can do for Restaurants and Bars. I really started to get interested in it when I realized that there are very few Social Media Managers with an actual management background in Food and Beverage.  So here I am trying to learn, collaborate, and share as much as I can. 

Facebook Page – http://www.facebook.com/AcrossTheBar If you any of you  wanna check it out and tell me what I’m doing wrong it would surely be appreciated. 

My Blog – http://barsales.net Lots of Bar stuff here etc. I started this mainly as an exercise in sanity but I feel it starting to morph its purpose. 

Thanks for being a cool community with actionable information!

Cheers,    Ion Bratianu   

Hi Andrea, Alexandra, Phil, and everyone. @andrea-vahl @alexandrabriggs @philmershon

I’m Mellissa Thomas, a freelance copywriter, blogger, copy editor, and proofreader that helps businesses and entrepreneurs streamline their marketing message to more effectively communicate with their clients and customers. I work in the entertainment business, entrepreneurship, and Christian arenas, and blog about the first two at E.i. Geek.

I’m a baby blogger (began seriously blogging in January 2012), but have fallen in love with it and am looking to grow.

Though I don’t have a Facebook page, feel free to connect with me there nonetheless, or visit my website for more info. I look forward to learning more about all of you!

Hey, everyone.

I’m a writer and graphic artist. I’ve been online since the early nineties, so I’ve watched the internet transform from a mostly text based gopher that required you know how to code html by hand to the video driven machine of today. My personal FB page, KR McGee, works in concert with my company fanpage, Яeversed Engineered Designs, which showcases my work dealing with themes like politics, religion, social concerns and romance.

Years ago, I used one of my fictional characters, a private detective named John Gault, as my FB page and it became very popular, but my current pages need a lot of work as far as likes and friends go.

I’ve been watching SME for a while now and am finally able to devote more time to growing my Facebook presence.

Hi everyone, I am new to this group and am wanting to introduce myself. My name is Susan King and I work from home on my computer.

My online marketing business is: http://thebusinessthatchangedourlives.com/susank. I am looking forward to meeting you and please come over and check me out on Facebook. If you want to ‘friend’ me that’s alright too, just leave me a message when you do so I know you are from Social Media Examiner. 

Thanks so much. Susan

Hi everyone – my name is Kathy Porter and I’m a freelance writer/content editor and blogger. You can find me at http://www.HealingRescueDogs.com .  I believe that stories are powerful change agents and that inspiration can come from what dogs can teach us … if we’ll open our hearts and listen. 

I’m a member of the SME blogging club and thought I might be able to manage two memberships, so here I am.

You can find my personal Facebook page here:
http://www.facebook.com/kathyhporter

My plan is to build my list over on HRD so that when I’m ready to publish my stories and essays, I’ll have a raving fan base to cheer me on.

What I hope is that this club will be a good place to focus on all of the changes happening on Facebook so that I can figure out the best way to really take advantage of this platform.

I’m looking forward to meeting all of you and peeking over your shoulders.

Hi,

I’m MaryAnn Pfeiffer and I run a small but nimble online marketing agency in Windham NH. We build websites, provide marketing consulting and of course, social media marketing services for our small to mid-size business clients.

I have really enjoyed the articles and information on the Social Media Examiner website and look forward to learning from the experiences of other social media marketers, especially those in the small business space.

You can find me on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/108degrees (daily, often, continuously) as well as on LinkedIn, Twitter and Google+. Please feel free to connect with me there as well, I would love to meet you.

Hi Everyone!
I found out about this club while visiting a live meeting today on Facebook. I really liked what I heard, so here now am I. I want to network, learn more about social media marketing, and become as BIG as I can become. My company is BIG Local Mailer, and we are located about 20 miles from Charleston, West Virginia. Our main focus is direct mail, while offering text messaging packages, social media coupons, and print/design services. I have over 30 years experience in print/advertising, with a degree in Computer Graphics, and I can testify that this industry is ever evolving, and so we must continually learn and implement new ideas to stay on top of the game. I am also an optimist, I love my family, my work, and my boxer, My, My, Mya. I am really glad to be part of a new and exciting adventure. Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

Hi there! My name is Charlie and I quit my real job a bit over 2 weeks ago to give my dream job a shot – running my own game development group (group being myself and my fiancee mostly). The downside to quitting my job to do it is that I’m only “safe” for about 4 months before I need to go job hunting once more! 

The Critterverse is a kid-friendly game site I’m still learning how to utilize Facebook for business, marketing, etc. Oh, and my facebook page is right here: http://www.facebook.com/thecritterverse

I look very forward to getting to know all of you! Have yourselves a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!

Hi

Hi,

I started my business after becoming unemployed.  I make and design fabric goods, specialising in bags, but make other items such has hair accessories, journal covers and anything in between.  I have recently got a wider customer base and have had an order from Switzerland ( I’m U.K. based) which is really exciting for me.
I have since found a job and still run my sewing business, However, I would like to make this full time, and leave the day job. I am looking to social media to help me reach far and wide.

I feel that I am doing well, but could do better and this is where you guys and girls come in.

My business page is fb.com/lcgcreations

Hello Everyone, Bob and Kimber here… 
Bob and I believe life is a journey, you never know exactly where you will end up or how you will get there. As our 4 children were growing we were inspired to adopt, we have been blessed with a sibling set of 3 and a sibling set of 2 bringing our family to 9 children.  Our last 5 children are very high needs with mental, behavioral and physical challenges.  It became apparent that I would need to be a full time work from home mom with the flexibility to support our children’s needs.  Social Media and Marketing presented me with a huge learning curve so I continue to look to the people and groups like this for my ongoing education.   
The wireless industry is used by millions of people and we wanted a small % of that market… why… because it is a renewable and necessary service… Lightyear Wireless is the only company that offered an average person like us the opportunity to start a business and receive our monthly wireless service for free.
Now as Vice Presidents with Lightyear Wireless, we have seen that people are beginning to see the power and importance of owning their own business.  We enjoy helping customers start and receive their service for free as well as assisting entrepreneurs’ in starting their own online wireless business with the residual income from the wireless bills.     
Bob and I look forward to meeting you on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and all the other social sites…

Hello All,
My business is called The Executive VPA, which is a business that provides social media marketing for companies, who don’t have the time to do it themselves.  VPA stands for Virtual Personal Assistant.

If you are not having a presence on social media, because you don’t have the time. I’m here to increase your personal productivity to make your business the ultimate success you would like it to be and assist you when and where others aren’t. Why, because I will work for you while you are sleeping.

“LET ME BE THE TIME YOU DON’T HAVE TO MARKET YOUR BUSINESS”

Ola,

The interweb is an awesome tool for marketing, but it can also be very unforgiving. Everyone is allowed to contribute content without censorship.

An angry customer can leave an unreasonable and bad review. Sleazy competitors can spread vicious rumors and ruin decades of hard labor building your business.

Like it or don’t, people are talking about your business on the interweb. Even if your small business has not published a web site you still have an online presence.

The question then becomes; what kind of presence?

Here’s to building a solid presence and protecting your reputation.

I’m Kat. Finishing up a degree at the U of Iowa, and have fallen into a facebook go to position. I know more than the average user, but as things are ever changing, I am a sponge to absorb it.

I currently am an intern for Rausch Productions for Marketing. I’ve been working on custom tabs for our page that just went live this morning. check it out at http://www.facebook.com/rauschproductions.com. Eventually we will have more pages up showcasing our clients and our work.

I am also creating facebook tabs for one of the Cumulus stations in Cedar Rapids. We’re slowly getting them going on fan-gating, since now one of the main stats that people use to judge their success is their facebook likes.

I currently use shortstack.com to do my facebook page creating. It”s a fairly good deal.

As for Rausch, we’re working on customer retention, and gaining customers, so I would like to see us have a bigger presence in the facebook world with content, activity, and posts.

Hi everyone, I’m so glad to have found “my people”! My name is Patty and I am the Digital Media Strategist for our family business, General Produce Company. I have been a domestic engineer for the past 18 years. My professional background is mostly in sales. The challenging part about doing Social Media in wholesale produce is catering to such a wide audience– employees, family, friends, suppliers (sellers), chefs/restaurateurs/servers (buyers), and a variety of ages, nationalities (we export) and backgrounds. I appreciate all your suggestions and hope to help others as well. Like us & Comment on Facebook!  http://www.facebook.com/GeneralProduceCompany. 

Hi everyone I started my web hosting  reviews site about 6 months a go and i have been working on promoting it everyday since. This is my business page http://www.facebook.com/pages/EasyWebHostingReviewscom/339190039439606?ref=ts, I hope you will like it and I don’t mind feed back either positive to keep me going and working hard, or negative so I can start working on fixing what is not right.

Thank you.

Hello!!! So excited to be Here! I have just started learning all I can about Social Media and How it can grow my business. I am a Consultant with Willow House, formerly Southern Living at Home. We are a Party Plan company but also offer online shopping in the US. We now are a Dual Division Direct Sales company offering Home Decor and Jewelry Designed by Sara Blaine. You can find out more about me and Willow House at http://karenallison.willowhouse.com. I have built up my Facebook page and have Lots of fun posting there – That door is always open too – http://www.facebook.com/karenswillowhouse. Stop by and say hi!!!!

Nice to meet everyone. I’m CEO of the Business Success Center in Austin, Texas. We provide sales, marketing and financial infrastructure, systems, and support to owners of existing small businesses. In short, we make successful owners with profitable, transferable businesses.

We also do owner training through a program we created called the Owners MBA™ and I am the author of several books and ebooks: Thinking Big, Staying Small, A Networker’s Guide to Success, and Easy to Be Green. I lead a bloggers group, Bloggers United and a B2B Meetup. I am very interested in international opportunities and have welcomed delegates from 108 countries and led two trade missions.

I started with Twitter and linked in and am late coming to facebook. I know how to maximize P2P connections. I find FB daunting to deal with on top of all the other marketing I keep track of or engage in. Case in point. I’m applying for a grant from Chase Bank to take my training online. To be eligible, I have to get votes. Those votes can only come from FB accounts. It’s been tricky to find those businesses (and people) who use it. Many of my contacts have either canceled or just abandoned their page.

I hope to discuss what others have found about FB user trends and ROI. This will be key to helping form the online owners community that goes along with the training and to help my clients grow their businesses. I guess I’m still not sure where FB fits in. Any words of wisdom would be appreciated.

Our website is at http://www.ownersview.com and I have an older personal (JanTriplett) and newer business (Business Success Center) FB page.

Hi Everyone,

I love doing business in a social and connected way.  As has been heard at many a social media conference, none of us are experts but all Social Marketers are students.

It is my hope that through this new ability to engage customers directly, create value, helping to make the web a better place, improving our world in the process.

There is a beautiful promise in social media that, instead of being hucksters, we are helping to facilitate communities, conversations, and people engaging with one another.

With social media marketing you can do many things and target many different channels to market your business. Part of my job as a social media marketing professional is to filter out the good and bad of a company’s existing marketing campaigns.

Love to connect, like, know, trust and share to build a great business community.

Hi there!

I’m a communication graduate student at Southern Utah University–amazing program, BTW. My focus is on social media and higher education. It appears that many institutions of higher education are not using the resources at their finger tips to make their institution shine. I want to help. 

So this summer (2012) I’m studying 13 universities in the West on how they use social media and the engagement of each post. I’m dividing the number of likes of the fan page as of 6/29/2012 with the number of engagement (likes, comments, shares) of each post. My results have been fascinating, yet disappointing. I hope to share them on my blog (see my profile) for free this fall. 

This fall I will also begin my culminating project, which includes asking social media professionals and higher education admissions and marketing departments for their advice on how to best use social media for the recruitment and retention of students and posting their comments on my blog. So excited to get started!

I hope to help as many institutions of higher education learn how to best use their social media resources when I graduate Spring 2013.

I’m very happy to meet you all and look forward to our conversations.~Diantha
