Here’s the event description. Register for DIY Digital PR Social Media Workshop.
“Ingredient X: Top Secret Digital Fuel for Powerful Business Results”
Learn how to propel your reach directly to people who can bring you business using the power of low or no cost digital PR.

“Barbara enthusiastically shared her wisdom of LinkedIn 101, with our woman’s group. I found her wonderfully open to working with the various levels of need. She was thorough, lively, warm and generous with her presentation style. I loved having the opportunity to work with her. I’d recommend Barbara as a speaker and as a social media expert”
“Barbara’s presentation was outstanding. Her warmth, charm and funny stories made everyone feel comfortable and at home, as if you were chatting with a friend.”
“Barbara was informative, approachable, and responsive to every question.”
“Barbara is warm, positive, and patient. Barbara adapted her slide materials for our group, rather than have the group adapt to her knowledge. She is knowledgeable, professional, thoughtful, and through.”
“Since your presentation, I have activated one new blog, at wordpress, which I had never previously heard of, added a couple of posts to another new one, upgraded my profile on LinkedIn, signed myself up for Google Alerts, checked myself out on Google and was amazed at some of what I found, and followed up on a conversation with another attendee who may be a new business lead. Not a bad ROI for my time. Thanks.”

cutting-edge of marketing, leveraging the latest technology to produce big results … whether teaching
entrepreneurs how to write for the web, landing top blog rankings or using social media to connect with an audience.
