    I’ll get started.I have been a social media coach and blogger for about 4 years.  I have an improv comedy background (and also an engineering background but that was a different life) so I started blogging as a character called Grandma Mary to make learning social media more fun.  I’ve been Social Media Examiner’s Facebook Community Manager since March and am excited to see a lot of you here too.

    My Facebook Pages are http://www.Facebook.com/GrandmaMaryShow and of course I’m on http://www.Facebook.com/smexaminer  and I have one co-managed by my co-authors:  http://www.Facebook.com/GettheBook

  • Hello All!

    I am the Social Media Director and Events Coordinator for a strategy based marketing firm in Winston-Salem, NC.  I’ve been delving deeper into social media every day for the past 3 years and I absolutely love how it’s always changing and evolving, there’s always the opportunity to be creative and to learn a lot, no matter how much you already know!  It’s great.

    I manage a variety of facebook pages and have probably created over 20 that have been handed over to clients with strategy statements, posting recommendations and an initial calendar.  One of the largest pages I manage is for Sheetz (www.Facebook.com/Sheetz) though it’s a committee based process.  Of course I directly manage the facebook page for Vela Agency (www.Facebook.com/VelaAgency).  I also help out from time to time with a few athlete pages for our racing clients.  All in all it’s lots of fun and I love it.

  • Hi.  It’s fun to be in on the ground floor with this new venture! 

    I have a 10-year old business (quite proud of this fact) that provides total internet design and marketing services to other small business owners to help them grow their businesses.  I have a unique background that lets me be involved at all levels, as I am very technical and artistic and marketing savvy, so I do everything from design websites and WordPress blogs, to building them, and getting them to show up on the search engines.  I’ve been into the social media the last couple of years and thrive on the every-changing aspect of it all. 

    I have a personal blog at http://www.SharpsChapelLiving.com, a healthy food blog at http://www.circleoffood.com/blog, and my business website at http://www.WebSiteHelper.com

  • Hello All!

    I am an experience marketer who has just gone solo with my new company, LemonZest Marketing. My expertise is in B2B marketing, and I have a strong vertical in technology and technology services. My target client size is small and mid-size businesses where I can provide a small but consistent marketing presence to help their efforts without the cost of a full time person.

    I plan to specialize in content strategy and development, but clearly understand this will intersect with social media channels in a big way.

    I am interested in proven ideas for small business B2B pages. In tech, we’ve focused on FB as a recruiting tool, to show the positive company culture and hightlight a great place to work. 

    Looking to learn more, as always!

  • Monique here from http://www.BoxcarMarketing.com and I’m super excited about the network club. I started two small business clubs in Vancouver BC and am geared up about this one. 

    My personal twitter is @somisguided

    And the sad state of affairs for my business facebook page is no reflection of the great work I do for publishers and other agencies. So I’m hoping this forum will push me to get my own act together.

Now I am looking to expand professionally as I prepare to share by business expertise in leadership development and coaching. I appreciate the opportunity to learn from a very esteemed group of social media enthusiasts! Thank you.

  • Hello, everyone,I am glad to belong to a club about Facebook, because I am trying to learn everything I can about it and it doesn’t come naturally! I hope my association with Facebook fans will be helpful!

    I just noticed that a blog I started for a customer had 60 fans from its Facebook page and although I set that page up for them, I had done nothing with it since. So I guess it’s something worth paying attention to!

  • Greetings everyone – Jeff Korhan here.

    My background ranges from a decade in corporate sales and marketing for a Fortune 50 enterprise, then 20 years operating a couple of local small businesses that I founded – a landscape design/build firm and a snow and ice management company, both of which I sold several years ago.

    My focus now is helping mainstream (brick and mortar) small businesses with their social media and Internet marketing – primarily as a professional speaker to small business associations.

    I’m especially interested in SEO and social search, QR codes and related technology, content marketing, and small business trends. You can find some of my articles on these topics here at Social Media Examiner.

    Beyond that, I’m usually consistent at providing fresh content for small business types at my New Media and Small Business Marketing site.

    Let me know how I can help you.  

    My strengths are real-world small business experience – and breaking down technology and complex business ideas to make them practical and useful.

    More than anything, I’m interested in people more than technology – so, let’s connect!

  • Hello all! I come at this from a slightly different angle: I’m the author of three novels and I’m looking for ways to better promote them to increase the number of readers and buyers. I’m also a graphic designer and spend quite a bit of time on Wordpress these days, posting stories on both my own blog and for one of my clients. I specialize in the marine industry which makes it easier to sit down at my desk every morning, since I get to look at photos of boats.

        I’m the CIO for the LATAM area of a French company in Brazil. I’ve 20+ years experience in IT, helping companies develop their businesses. As I’ve a strong strategic background in terms of businesses and technologies I got addicted to the amazing new world of doing business thru social networks.

       I’m looking forward to help you and to stay in touch with this incredible group.

    After 16 years as the head of an IT-department I had an accident and got paralysed 10 years ago. It took many years of recovery and about a year ago it was time to look for work again.
    During summer I started my blog Sociala Sussi   and a Facebook page where I answer people’s questions about Facebook. Unfortunately Facebook changed the name of my page to a the nearest Place one day and refuse to do anything about it at all, so although my alter ego is Sociala Sussi, I look like a place called Doverstorp on Facebook … :-(

    Anyway, my blog and page was discovered by Social Media Support and I’ve been with them since September.

    As you can see from my profile, my private life is ALL about dogs :-)

    Looking forward to learn about everything here !

  • Hello everyone!

    I’m new to the entire business of on-line marketing of any kind, having spent most of my adult life either at sea and wandering the world, or working for government agencies that preferred me not to have a public profile. Right now, social media and SEO are alien concepts to me, which is partly why I wanted to join “the club” – to meet people, make new friends, learn, establish a fourth career, and create a successful business.

    I’m Karleen, a recent solopreneur providing resume writing and job search services as ResumeSmith, based in San Diego, CA.

    Glad to be here.  I’m a social worker turned freelance technology consultant.  I help my clients on projects that range from installing and using online Learning Management Systems (LMS), to creating wordpress sites, and helping them optimize their adwords accounts.  

  • Hello All!

    I am the social media Jack of All Trades for my company.  We’re a small business with no brick and mortar presence.  Everything is online.  We specialize in party supplies and most of our marketing efforts are focused on paid search with a little SEO.

    I’ve been handling our social media efforts for a little over a year now and Facebook is a constant struggle.

    The core of what I do is teach small to medium sized companies how to leverage technology to market and operate their day-to-day business, which includes social media marketing and business applications such as Google Apps and Microsoft Office.

  • Hey everyone!

    Jessie Springer here with Western Reserve PBS based in NE Ohio. I’ve been with the station for the past year and a half fresh out of the college scene. Loving my job and all of the learning that has continued since graduation! With the station, I’m a communications-catch-all. I handle anything from producing the live on-air pledging to proofreading to monitoring our SM. Our efforts in the SM world continue, and operating with a bare-minimum staff, it’s incredible how much we’ve grown over the past year. I’m very much so looking forward to being a part of this club to increase our efforts and efficiency.

  • Hi everyone, my name is Steve and I dove into social media two months ago when I began working for Shoutlet.  Shoutlet provides a comprehensive social media marketing platform for businesses to manage their social media activities with one easy-to-use tool.  I do inside sales for Shoutlet at our Madison, WI headquarters. My previous experience is in telecommunications and I am really enjoying my new position at Shoutlet.  Besides working hard to become an expert on the Shoutlet platform, I am also really trying to learn social media marketing in general and to understand what life is like for marketers in this space.  I welcome any and all informational conversations and hope to learn a lot from everyone in this club!  

  • Hi everyone! 

    My name is Elaura. The Facebook page that I am trying to manage is for Thunder Bay District Crime Stoppers. I volunteer for this organization but have found it to be a little more difficult to manage this fan page because of a few underlying problems. One being the original creator if the organization’s Facebook page created a personal page – so I created a fan page but now I’m experiencing difficulties getting the “Friends” to convert to the new page and become “Fans”. 

    This group will be a great way to find out some tips and create some new innovative ideas that will be useful for everyone! 

    https://www.facebook.com/pages/Thunder-Bay-District-Crime-Stoppers/128551303884048 

    Here is my Fan page (I am working with a Board of Directors – so please ignore the lack of creativity) I am working on getting some pictures, videos etc. approved.

  • Hello everyone!

    I am excited to join the Social Media Network and interact with other social media marketers.

    I am an engineer by education but after my MBA, I have been converted to a technology marketer. My love for social media started when Facebook had just launched. At that time only the geeks like us were on FB and that seemed like the most effective way to inform them of any events that our student club used to organize. 

    Now this has grown into a full time career for me. All that time on FB wasn’t a waste after all. :)

    I write a personal blog at: http://thoughtwanderlust.blogspot.com/My twitter handle is @ManasiKakade
    Feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn at: http://www.linkedin.com/in/manasikakade 

    I am soon going to start working for an international IT company in Boston, MA to get their Social Media Marketing up and running. Right now, we are not that active on the SMM scene.

    If you are interested you can check out the geeky websites for the 2 of our brands which I will be working for: http://www.smartshiftgroup.com/http://www.cloudenable.com/

    I have also just started a FB page for a professional club that I am a part of, Toastmasters of Manchester. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Toastmasters-of-Manchester/302623193089351

    I look forward to exchange of the ideas in this club.

    I am an Inbound Marketing Specialist which includes Social Media Services since 2008.  I am just coming up on my 7th anniversary of operating Alternative Office Assistance.   I love to learn and am always trying to keep up with the latest in Social Media and Inbound Marketing techniques and strategies which I share with my clients and alliances/connections.

    I’m also a BIG fan of Social Media Examiner and consider it to be one of my best sources of information.

  • Greetings!

    I’ve owned my own web design business, Design! by Kiltz  for the past 11 years & try to offer my clients the full picture. Many of them are small start-ups with an extremely small budget so my goal is not only to provide them with an online presence, but to teach them how to market online — with the end goal that they can grow & be able to outsource their marketing needs in the future.

    I’ve also developed a series of classes (WebEssentials for Small Business) targeting business owners that provides them with the tools they need if they’re going to successfully market online. Whether they do their own marketing or choose to outsource they are knowledgeable enough to make smart decisions.

    I’m on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/DesignByKiltzTipsNTricks
    And Twitter at: @DesignByKiltz

    I’m hoping this forum will help provide a filter on the important aspects of Facebook marketing. Not only for myself but for clients & students.

    :) Christy

  • Hello all!  

    I am developing a development and consultant company in the fitness/sports performance industry.  Recently have gone back to owning my own company to continue to speak nationally and internationally at conference events, workshops, and private events for fitness and sports performance organizations.  

    I will be developing a new website, blog and online product market for educating personal trainers, strength coaches, group exercise instructors and sports medicine professionals.  My specialty is building strong businesses through bridging the gap between science and good practical application through the most current methods and tools.  

    My goal is to reach 1 million people by teaching coaches and trainers who each reach multiple clients and athletes.  

    I look forward to the club and opportunities to better apply FB as a social media platform.  

  • Hi, gang. Really glad to be included here, and need all the advice and atta girls! I can get. On Facebook but haven’t set up the business page yet and need to get started on it. Also want to do the Google+ business page. How in the world does anyone keep up with all of the technology and changes and stay sane? Exciting stuff though.

    Look forward to talking with all of you.

    Also need to let you all know how impressive this program we’ve just joined is — had a small glitch on the Reply front, and they worked hard and long to resolve it. Awesome work, guys! Thanks.

  • Hi Everyone, 

    By trade I am a professional photographer, but I am searching for a new or additional direction.  My heart is for two groups: locally owned businesses and veterans.  I’m working on a website that promotes locally owned businesses in my county and my goal is to build it up and then hire American Veterans to work with me.  

    My photography website is:  http://www.wyantphoto.comMy website that promotes local businesses is:  http://www.mygoto-hamiltoncountyIN.com

  • Hello! I’m Dyane Bradley, I recently decided to combine 30+ years of Retail Experience with my 3 years of Social Media experience to start a new business. I just launched Aug. ’11. I teach Retail Store Owners how to use Social Media more effectively. Its sad to see stores closing because it feels as if a dream has died. It’s my hope that I will help them stay in business. They don’t have a lot of time to spend online, so, I teach them how to use Social Media more efficiently and effectively. :) Dyane

  • Hi everyone! I have a fairly new business called VaVaVoomph which provides internet marketing services to small business owners. My specialty is custom social media designs (i.e. Facebook tabs and Twitter backgrounds, etc) and WordPress sites. I also provide general virtual assistant services and social media management through a team of fellow business associates.

    I’m excited about this new group. I’ve followed Social Media Examiner for quite some time and am always learning so much from it! It’s one of the first resources I send others to when they want to learn more about social media.

    My business page is fb.com/VaVaVoomph. Like many others here, I have setup dozens of FB pages for clients. So many that my list of pages I admin is starting to become a bit cumbersome! lol
