If you didn’t make it to the Robin Hood for Georgina Lester and Sharon Leighton’s session on social media, you really missed out! Mind you it would have been difficult to squeeze more than another couple of people into the room the attendance was so high!

What was really interesting was that everyone who attended already knew about some aspects of social media whereas the last time we ran a similar event 2 years ago the level of knowledge was much lower. Now everyone wants to know how they can use sites like Facebook, Twitter and Ecademy to help them to achieve their personal and business goals.

Georgina and Sharon were full of enthusiasm and both of them were able to convince us of the benefits of the medium with examples from their own successful businesses.

Georgina’s level of knowledge and commitment to social media is almost evangelistic and she got everyone asking searching questions with her approach, concentrating on the ‘Why’ questions rather than the ‘How’. She was able to dispel some of the myths many of us held about the risks of broadcasting information on these sites and led us to a greater understanding of what modern business publicity and client base building is all about.

New Social Media & Digital Marketing workshops

After the success of the Social media talk with Georgina Lester, it became clear that there is need for some workshops and courses to help people promote their businesses effectively online. Georgina has compiled a short survey to ascertain which workshops should be set up first. Please complete before 7th March
This will help interested people with the ‘How’ of social media practice so now I’m looking forward to putting some of these ideas into practice. Look out for me on Twitter!
