Rather listen to it on your iPod or burn the audio to a cd for the car? Download the MP3 file here (27mb)

The video is a little low quality with some shaky recording, but the audio is good and the presentation is good! I personally enjoyed giving this presentation on how a business can be successful online using the social web.  I hope you find this video (or mp3) useful and revealing.  Feel free to share this page or this video/audio with others.

The Power of Now – Your Business Online:

In about an hour we covered:

  • The shift from outbound to inbound marketing
  • Explained what Marketing 2.0 means
  • Defined Web 2.0 with a simple real world discussion on business networking
  • Illustrated the behavior of people via Web 2.0 websites and how you can embrace that behavior
  • Discussed key ideas on content, how to be engaging and how to stay away from being an online dead end.
  • Showed how thinking distributed leads to more traffic and engagement
  • How to use Facebook in general terms and ways to get fans
  • How to use Twitter, best practices and how to get followers
  • How to be engaging with your audience
  • How to brand your business or you within the business using social media
  • The (very simple) trick to identifying your business super power
  • Why all this matters in today’s business

The Take Home:
Create quality content, make it available in multiple places and continually engage in the discussion while not being a dead end.

I work for Pediment Publishing where we work with media groups and authors who want to self publish high quality books.  If you are a media group, we have community oriented NTR programs like championship books, pictorial history books, disaster books, and Capture books (community generated photo books).

    Great insights Justin, I really like that you're giving everyone some face time for these concepts that unless you work with them day in and out, they seem nebulous and non-beneficial, however here you put them in real world examples that make sense to business mindsets.

    Great presentation. I took away several thoughts...(1) don't be anonymous on Facebook, if you believe in what you are saying, tell you who are, (2) engage with the Fans you have, don't just keep building numbers of fans without engagement, (3) don't be a deadend, and (4) better use of Twitter. This was excellent and informative, even for someone that uses Facebook on a daily basis.
  • Great take away comments Kathy! It looks like you get it! Let me know how it goes as you put these things into action for your business!
