Social Media has become the latest and greatest tool for promoting your business, art and/or skills on the web. However, there’s more to Internet Marketing than Facebook and Twitter. Embracing all that the Web has to offer can literally bring local, potential clients away from the Internet and to your studio.
This two-day workshop is designed to give you hands-on support to make your business more visible to potential clients on the Web. Not only will you learn the techniques to employ online but also implement them on the spot. You’ll walk away from the weekend with a solid online presence and the tools to create and engage with a captive audience who are looking for your products and services.
Friday 1-5 PM
Introduction to Social Media and Creating Compelling Content
This session is for those who are new to Social Media, blogging and posting content on the Web. You will learn the basics of Facebook, Twitter and Linked In as we walk you through everything from status updates and friendship/network requests to posting images, links and articles.
Friday 5:30 PM – ? Happy Hour(s)
We’ll spend some time connecting and answering questions in a more informal setting. We can make plans for dinner/evening entertainment as a group or on head out to explore the city on your own.
Saturday 9 AM – 6 PM
A full day of Internet Marketing
Put on your driving gloves and join us as we hop on the Information Super Highway to show you tips for driving traffic to your website and, ultimately, to your door.
By introducing you to the basic components of Internet marketing, we will build your online marketing campaign with Social Media, simple search engine optimization techniques, local listings and analytics. You will also learn how to play nice with others on the Internet to build and maintain your online reputation and referrals.
A complimentary soups/sandwiches/salads buffet for will be offered for lunch.
Location & Travel Details
The hotel is completely wireless and the conference room is big enough at 1900 sq. ft. that you’ll have more than enough room to stretch and move around. We’re going to have half-round tables which allows you to work as a team while being able to watch us guide you at the same time.
Since you’ll need to bring a laptop for this workshop, there will be plug-in strips under every table to avoid any battery issues. This is awesome!
The Ramada itself is completely renovated, yet unique with hints of the old deco when it was the Thunderbird. They have a huge bar and they’ll even section off part of it after Friday’s afternoon session for a happy hour. This would be a great way for us to get to know you better and give honest advice. For more info on the hotel, feel free to visit their site.
Discounted room rates for attendees are only $89/night for any attendees who choose to stay overnight.
If you are an out-of-towner, please consider staying for the weekend. The Twin Cities is more than awesome. The Mall of America is literally under a 10 minute walk from the Ramada which includes a light rail station that will take you to downtown Minneapolis for a whopping 2 buck debit/credit card swipe.
If you’ll be flying in, we’re not far from the airport and the Ramada provides free shuttle service.

Too much to learn how to do in todays world. Sincerely, Michelle / owner / Ambience Artistic Photography, Martinsville, Indiana.
