Social Networking – about people, not numbers…

Ah, social media – can’t manage your time with it and can’t grow your business without it?

Online networking for business has the same purpose and function as offline business networking, don’t you think? Here’s some social networking info and opinion for you to ponder or put into practice next week – or today.

Video – Coach Deb Answers: Why Bother With Social Media?

Coach Deb predicted social media trends ten years ago!

My clients, especially those “of a certain age” often express frustration about using social media (social networking), and ask “Why bother?” so when I met up with Coach Deb, a globally recognised authority on the subject, in Sydney recently, I was absolutely delighted when she generously answered that question in this exclusive video interview.

Video (3 min 12 sec) Coach Deb answers: why bother with social media?

Here’s some of what Coach Deb revealed:

  • 80% of people who buy online belong to a certain group
  • That same group of people use social media to share their recommendations with each other
  • Business owners who use social media will capture the attention of that group while their competitors flounder

Coach Deb co-created the software we use to build our clients’ websites!

I know that Coach Deb knows what she’s talking about, because four years ago I started using the software that she developed, to build my own website. It gained high search engine ranking so rapidly that my business coaching clients started asking me to build websites for them, and so HubSite Builder was born!

The proprietary software boasts integrated organic search engine optimization, and several automated methods of integrating your website and your social media profiles, saving you over 40 hours per month when compared to other systems.

Give our office a call to find out how HubSite Builder’s system can save you 40 hours each month while you boost your social media presence – (02) 9686 4257.

Secrets Of Social Networking To get Your Business Found Online…

by Karyn Clarke · Filed Under: Get Found In Google Seminars and Workshops · HubSite Builder · Internet Marketing Education · Social Media Mobilizer

Who is this seminar for?

An abundance of information exists, both offline and online, about Social Networking. Much of it assumes a certain amount of knowledge or experience that my clients don’t necessarily have because like me, they did not grow up with computers and information technology.

That’s why I pitch the structure and the content of my seminars at a level that is most useful for business owners who are Baby Boomers or older Gen Xers. We allow lots of time for questions and interaction within the group.

The feedback that participants give is full of gratitude that they got their questions answered without being made to feel foolish or inadequate.

So, if you are a mature business owner who is not yet feeling confident about how to get started with social networking as a business tool, then this seminar is an ideal starting point for you.
