As social media continues to gain prominence as a viable marketing channel, businesses are rushing to get on board. The problem is that many do so without taking the time to think about the strategy behind their efforts.
Before you begin any marketing program — social media or otherwise — you need to determine WHY you are doing it and what you want to accomplish.
That’s what I set out to teach people during my presentation on Saturday at PodCamp Nashville, a free “unconference” geared to helping people and businesses promote themselves.
During my talk, I shared questions businesses need to ask before getting started with social media along with some tips to help them be successful.

PodCamp Nashville is a wonderful event put together by a fantastic community of volunteers. Kudos to Lisa French and everyone who made the event a success!

Hi Laura,

Nice to see you out there making the rounds 🙂
PodCamp is great! You should see if there’s one in your area. If not, start one!!! 🙂
