Social Media Training

Hypothetically speaking, say I wanted to host a one day training seminar to teach you guys professional social media. How would one go about that?

First of all, let's consider what a training seminar on professional social media should entail.
And you guessed it - listening would most definitely be on the list of topics to cover, closely followed by how to engage with followers. Related to both listening and engaging, professionals also need to learn how to create a brand for themselves. The best way to teach all of these topics would be Twitter. Twitter is the easiest place listen, searching hashtags and key terms. Twitter is also a good place to engage, since quick conversations can be held at your fingertips. Branding is something that takes time, but the basics could be taught in a one day seminar - decide how you want to be viewed and create your bio.

In my opinion, the easiest way to promote an event and get a message out to masses of people would be Twitter. Twitter is an easy place to pass messages to friends and strangers alike, you can also create your own hashtags to make it easy to share and to track who is talking about your topic. Facebook is another place for promotions. Creating a group page allows perspective attendees a central location to be directed which holds the location, time, and about the course.
