    Social Media Has Changed: Are You Ready?

    by Ruth M. Shipley / March 7, 2011

    social media reviewsWhen Michael Stelzner started Social Media Examiner in October 2009, he never dreamed it would become so successful so quickly.

    As of March 2011, Social Media Examiner has 59,000 email subscribers, 33,000 Facebook fans, over 60 writers and half a million page views per month.

    In addition, the site has generated almost $2 million in sales; ranks among the top 12 websites on two Technorati lists – business and small business; and ranks among the top 1,500 websites in the entire United States, according to Alexa.

    “We didn't do anything unique,” Stelzner said. “We simply employed great content with smart social media marketing and our community did the rest. And any business can achieve great results.”
    Listen to Michael share more of the story.

    Here's How Your Business Can Thrive With Social Media

    Would you like to learn the tactics of social media from pros like Stelzner—all from the comfort of your home or office? If so, keep reading.

    Imagine how much it would cost you to attend a week-long conference with 22 different experts in a faraway city. The conference fee, airfare, hotel room, rental car and restaurants would set you back several thousand dollars.

    But you can attend an online conference with 22 different social media pros for a fraction of that cost.

    social media success summit

    Yes, we're talking about Social Media Examiner's upcoming third-annual social media conference, Social Media Success Summit 2011.

    You may have been one of the 2,500 attendees at last year's summit and now you're wondering if you can skip this one. We don't recommend it!

    “LinkedIn and Facebook have gone through many changes just in the last two months,” Stelzner said.

    If you're one of those 59,000 Social Media Examiner subscribers, you already know that, right? Because you've read the following stories:
