WordCamp Atlanta 2010

The very first WordCamp (#wcatl) in Atlanta is taking place this Friday and Saturday, January 8-9 at the Savannah College of Art and Design. I admit, I am very excited about this event! In fact, I was so excited that I registered during the first few days as a personal sponsor.

I think it’s important to not only attend these local networking events, but support them when we can.  WordCamps provide an opportunity to learn about blogging, from beginner to expert. But it’s also an opportunity to network with other people in and out of your industry. There is so much to learn from other industries and their use of social media tools like blogs, Facebook and Twitter.

I am also attending SoCon this month! SoCon (#SoCon10) is a Social Media and Social Networking Conference at Kennesaw State University on January 29 – 30. It is my first time attending this conference, and I look forward to hearing from Coca-Cola and Obama’s social media team.

Keep an eye out on Twitter and Facebook for local networking events and please consider attending and/or sponsoring. Even if you cannot attend yourself, please share the event information with your friends.

Are you coming to WordCamp and SoCon? I hope to see you there!

MultifamilyPro’s Brainstorming Session: Uncover the Secrets to Using Craigslist and Other Classified Sites

For those who couldn’t attend or if you attended and need more information, below is the Prezi that Allison and I presented today at 10:30 in Houston, TX.

The only thing not included in the presentation is my biggest statement: Only post 1 time per day per property!

A special thank you to everyone who waited patiently in the hall until we could open up another room! Be on the lookout for a recap of the event, from my perspective!

I’m speaking with Allison Crabtree, the (Director of Marketing at Bell Partners) this year at Brainstorming in Houston on November 19th. Our topic is “Uncover the Secrets to Traffic Generation Using Craigslist and Similar Sites“. Now, you can go to any and all of the links I’ve posted here, but there’s one thing these links won’t tell you…

We’re giving away 3 copies of Tribes by Seth Godin after the presentation!

Win This Book!

That’s right! All you have to do is pay attention to the presentation (which should be very easy to do!) and the first person to answer one of the three questions correctly wins. Honestly, I don’t know if we could make it any easier!

Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t a “how to post an ad to Craigslist” course for your Grandma (although we do love Grandma). This session will go deep into the questions you’ve been asking, like how to design ads that will stand out from the crowd!

Some of our content will include:

• Site-specific user demographics to help target your audience on the sites they are using.
• Known benefits and challenges of various sites.
• Various ways to track results and WHY you need to track.

I guarantee our presentation will be different than any presentation you’ve seen at Brainstorming before! We look forward to seeing you at 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, November 19th!

(If you’re NOT attending, you SHOULD! It’s only $525 per person. Check it out!)
