Social Media Marketing - A Webinar Series for Members

By
Education & Training with Retired Executive Director of Education at eXp Non-Licensed

Last weekend, I had the opportunity to speak on a Blogging panel in Monterey, CA for CRS members. Specifically, I was asked to discuss ActiveRain and Localism. This all came about thanks to Pam Winterbauer who connected me with Mike Kelly, one of the panel moderators.

The guest speaker was Pat Kitano, from Domus consulting, also a fellow ActiveRain member. I've been following Pats Blog at Transparent Real Estate for quite some time now, and finally had the privilege of meeting him in person at the Inman Real Estate Connect in San Francisco.

During our break at CRS, I had the chance to talk to Pat in detail about what he's doing with Domus and what I've been doing at ActiveRain. Ironically, our conversation led to something that I have wanted to do here since I joined AR, Training and Coaching via Web-conferences and Webinars.

Well, before the CRS meeting and lunch were over, Pat and I had come up with a plan that could benefit many new members here that are just getting into Social Media Marketing and WEB 2.0. Here's what we have come up with for the upcoming Webinar Series.

I get a huge amount of emails and calls from members with these questions everyday, this is what motivated and inspired me to help provide a program like this. Since Pat has all the tools and pieces in place, he's allowing me to join forces with him, and put this on at a minimal price for ActiveRain members ONLY. It will average out to about $12.00 per webinar which will run for 1 hour on Friday mornings at 9:00am pst. We have setup a registration page just for AR members.

You'll learn some great information and come away with the tools and knowledge to be a WEB 2.0 Social Media Marketing expert. This will be a great road map to managing your time more effectively on the WEB. Reasons you should consider this opportunity:

  • It's half price to all ActiveRain members
  • You get recorded copies of ALL the webinars, even if you can't make it to some
  • It's only one hour per week at an average of 12.00 per webinar
  • You'll receive online support, manuals, instructions etc.
  • I'll be one of your follow-up trainers and support consultants

  • 90+ tutorials providing step-by-step instructions on the techniques of blogging and social media

I'm excited about joining Pat to provide these webinars to our members. They will become more popular as Industry Professionals try to gain the edge and obtain more knowledge about Social Media and Social Networking. With the cost of travel expenses, gas, hotel accommodations all going up, this only makes sense. Twelve bucks will barely get you three gallons of gas these days. This IS a great deal!

You can register below and join us this Friday for an online orientation. The Webinar series will start {EDIT} Friday - SEP. 5th @ 9:00am (see Pat's Comment below) We're not trying to sell you anything here, honestly, it's just an awesome opportunity to bring education and value to the community and to our industry. This WEB 2.0 stuff and Social Media Marketing is not going away.

Come join us, you won't regret it. :-))

Petra - if you know any other members in your area that are on AR and might benefit from this, can you let them know?  Lenders, appraisers, virtual assistance, other REALTORS® etc. will all come away with Social Media Marketing skillsets, just thought you might want to pass it on to your team of affiliates or other friends in the rain. Thanks for your help, and you bet I'll be on it!  You have my word on that. I'm looking forward to Sept 5th with great anticipation and excitement. :-))

Todays 1st webinar series was a success, not a grand slam, but certainly a home run. See what one of our members had to say on her Featured post!

Brad - Enjoyed the webinar and already excited about this Friday. Hopefully with little less chaos bugs, but with 40+ attendees it wa a great success.

Petra - I think we got all the kaos and kinks worked out now.  We'll have to use the Q&A for questions, we can not get the chat area working for non presenters, but I'm ok with that and I think others will be too.  It can be a distraction anyways.  The rest of the series should be great.  Thanks for joining us, we're glad to have you.
