Using Social Media to Increase Your Success as a Business Owner, Student, or Professional Now or In the Future. April 11, 2009

---

We are excited to have you attend the San Diego social media workshop hosted by Artistic Hub. We have spent a lot of time creating a great agenda and lining up amazing speakers to teach you how to effectively harness social media both personally and professionally.
We believe 2 things:
1. There are a lot of tools out there, but only a few necessary ones to get the biggest results2. Success with social media is directly related to the idea of Social Capital
Our workshop is going to focus on these two things and give you tools you need to be successful. You will leave today with a new or improved blog, an impressive LinkedIn account, an understanding of Facebook ads, your own social community on Ning, an e-commerce store on Zazzle, and the knowledge to harness Twitter effectively.
Who should attend:

Small business owners who want to leverage social media to attract customers
Students looking to use social media in business or to start a business
Professionals who want to use social media to monitor their competitors, attract customers, or increase their social capital

Our number one goal is for you to walk away with the skills to improve your business or success as a professional or student through social media with the ability to implement these immediately.
