Entrepreneurship, the online side: Conversation Friday, 5/21

Posted by Michael Calienes in branding, social media, the conversation factory

After our Thursday evening festivities (yes, you’re invited, click here for details) we’ll be talking about where you need to go from this point forward on the online side of your business.

What needs doing in terms of creating a space for your brand? Do you have a plan? Is it flexible? Where do you want to be 5 years down the line? What are you doing now to help you get there?

Whether you’re just starting a business, or are well on your way, we’ll cover lots of shoulds and shouldn’ts — of course, those will all be open to interpretation and discussion.

Want in? Let me know.

Hope you’ve been well, and hope to see you here.

Guests are limited to 10, so please RSVP as soon as possible if you’d like to attend.

WHERE: The Conversation Factory
WHEN: Friday, May 21, 2010; 12pm – 1pm
COST: $10 (includes pizza & beverage); Students: $5
PARKING: Please park at the BrackenChase parking lot, adjacent to our building off Eliza Rd.

If you haven’t been to the Liquor Loft, they’re right on Tennessee Street next to the Starbucks.

How’s your relationship with Facebook, twitter, et al? Conversation Friday, May 14, 2010.

How's your relationship?Now’s a great time to check in on what’s working and what isn’t working for you on Facebook, twitter, and any other social networking platform you’re on.

Is it still exciting? Has it lost its luster? Are you finding little pockets of successes or have you found yourself lost in a flood of time management issues?

Let’s chat and help each other get out of the muck; and let’s share some best practices that really feel like they’re working for you.

Hope you’ve been well, and hope to see you here.

Guests are limited to 10, so please RSVP as soon as possible if you’d like to attend.
