PROOF
SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING WORKS...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A few months ago, Michael Stelzner (the guy who wrote the book
on white papers) surveyed about 900 social media marketers and
wrote a report on how they use sites like Twitter, Facebook and
LinkedIn. Only three days after releasing his report, more
than
15,000 people read it and hundreds posted comments.
Within two weeks, nearly 30,000 people had read his report, more
than 100 media outlets and bloggers wrote about it, and it was
reposted on Twitter more than 1500 times! He also was offered
$30,000 to do some work directly resulting from the buzz around
his report.
Almost overnight, he was being called a social media expert (a
term he denies) and popular podcasters were trying to book
airtime with him.
This all took place via social media. He simply leveraged the
power of sites like Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn to deliver
the kind of results that would have cost him a fortune in the
past. This didn't cost him a dime, just his time.
Now the connection... The future of marketing is all about
social
media because it bypasses the middleman and allows you to
rapidly connect with your clients and prospects! AND this
presents an enormous opportunity for you.

SO WHAT'S THIS ABOUT?
-----------------------------------------------------------
Michael (and his team) have been working for months to bring the
best minds in social media marketing together in an event called
Social Media Success Summit 2009:

The focus is to empower you to use tools like Twitter, Facebook
and LinkedIn to attract high-caliber customers and grow your
business during the economic slump. Not only can you gain
amazing exposure for your business with social media marketing,
you'll also generate traffic, new partnerships and qualified
leads.
Many of the social media marketing superstars will be summit
instructors, such as Gary Vaynerchuk (Wine Library TV), Darren
Rowse (Problogger), Mari Smith (Facebook guru), Jason Alba
(wrote the book on LinkedIn), Ann Handley (MarketingProfs),
Brian Clark (Copyblogger), Chris Garrett (Authority Blogger),
and Denise Wakeman (BlogSquad).
Together this team of "who's who" in social media
marketing will help you succeed using practical tactics.
This is the world's first major online event designed to empower
marketers and small business owners to master the art social
media marketing. And the great news is it's a live online
event
you can attend from your home or office.

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU
-----------------------------------------------------------
First, you don't need to be a techno-geek or twenty-something to
use and benefit from social media. You might be surprised to
learn that most social media marketers are aged 30 to 50 and
have only been using social media for a few months.
In fact, even traditional businesses like Ford Motor Company are
heavily focused on social media. This is not some "young kids"
phenomenon.
Social Media Success Summit 2009 will help you discover the best
ways to market your business with popular social media sites,
such as Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. You'll also learn how
major social media campaigns were executed and how you can
achieve similar results (play-by-play steps provided).
It's fully dedicated to empowering you. You'll discover how to
grow your business using no-cost social media tactics.
Yes, attending this online event (and applying the techniques)
will grow your business. But there's much more.
You'll also
join a community of like-minded women and men who'll share their
experiences and wisdom.
