E-Course: How to Build Your Online Community
One year ago I had a website. I updated it when I thought about it, but I didn't think about it that frequently. And not surprisingly, I averaged about one book sale a month through my website.
Then I decided to jump into blogging full steam! I joined Facebook, opened a blog on Blogger, and eventually joined Twitter. I've increased my sales twenty-fold, and it keeps going up.
But the key to building an online community is not to think of it as marketing; it's instead participating in a conversation. If you yell at people for attention, they'll dismiss you. If you contribute information they want, they'll pay attention.
So the key to online social media is learning how to contribute information people want, and how to let them know it's there.
In this four module course, we'll cover everything you need to develop a social media plan, whether you're willing to spend one hour a day, or one hour a week. The course starts whenever you want it to! When you sign up, you'll automatically receive a new module every two weeks.
