Thanks to all who came to my presentation on Thursday evening at the eWomen Network on June 12th in Surrey. I’ve just made updates to the Private Resources Page as promised, and will be adding more cool stuff all week – what’s there is really just the beginning. There are two eBooks on the way for certain, plus other valuable items. Click here to see the current updates, and enter your password that was given to you on the white postcard at the dinner. The password is case-sensitive, so please enter it as you see it on the card. (Missing your card? eMail me and I’ll fill you in.)

Didn’t attend the dinner, but want to see the page? Call me at 1-866-907-4084, or email me for more information.

I had such a great time tonight at the Vancouver chapter meeting of the eWomen Network, in BC, Canada. What a great bunch of gals! Thanks so much for making me feel welcome, and I was really enthused by all of your contagious energy!

The presentation that I made this evening was a bit over the time allocated, (sorry about that, Gail!) and it sounded like Members had more questions after I was done. So, let’s start a conversation here, on this blog, that carries over from tonight’s presentation. You can post questions using the comment form (in the bits below this post, there’s a link in the word “Comments” – just click it and type in the boxes that appear) and I’ll respond to them on this same spot. You might want to bookmark this page so that you can come back to it over and over again.

I’m sorry that there’s a delay in making the Private Resources page available for all of the attendees to use, but I promise it will be up by Monday when I get back to my office. Thanks for your patience. The postcard you received at dinner had a password on it, and you’ll need that to get to the page. The button mentioned on that same postcard will be available on this site by Monday.

Remember all that talk we had about feeds, and other magic words? You might want to subscribe to my site’s feed right now, by putting your email address in the boxes at right. That way, when new posts happen, you’ll get them delivered to your email inbox, without having to remember to come back to this page. And remember to Google yourself! (Yes, Google is a verb! Type your name or company name into the search bar, and see what happens!)

In addition to the Private Resources I promised, I’ll also include a set of overhead slides on the password-protected page that corresponds to tonight’s presentation. Just in case you didn’t take notes, there’s probably something there that will jog your memory.

A special thanks to Gail who was kind enough to fit me into your group’s schedule. I’m really glad that everybody got something out of the presentation. Hope to see you all again soon!!

P.S. – One of the winners of the door prizes didn’t pick up their book. If you had a blue Kitty Sticker on the back of your postcard, and you didn’t get your prize, please email me using the links at right. Thanks!

I’m very excited to announce that I’ll be delivering a new talk about my company’s use of Social Media Marketing at the eWomen Network’s Surrey Chapter the evening of June 12th, at Coyote Creek Golf Club on 152nd St. in Surrey, BC.

The subject of my talk will be an in-depth analysis of the results of a marketing experiment that I’ve been conducting for the book Words in Action, by local Author Jeri-Lyn McCrea.

The talk is titled: “The Social Media Diet”, after a blog post I made here a while ago, which started a discussion and a number of comparisons to marketing and dieting. (Bottom line: both of them take a bit of figuring, but if you stick to it, the results can be astonishing.)

Here’s the description of the talk that is being promoted to Members: “Social Media Marketing is very trendy right now, and although we’re bombarded by a flurry of terms and tools, the mechanics of it still seem a bit fuzzy. How do you do it, and what does it really mean for you and your business? This discussion documents a live experiment that my company conducted, using SMM tools and techniques to promote a current book on our roster. What we learned was surprising, and these lessons can apply to almost any product or service.”

To make this discussion even more interactive, we’re inviting you to submit your questions about this topic in advance. I’ll address your actual questions that you submit as comments below, here on this page, during the live discussion on June 12th.

To submit a question, simply submit your question as a comment to this blog post. (Click here, or there’s a link below in the grey bar.) All comments are moderated, but they will be posted publicly here as they are approved. We also welcome general comments.

See you on June 12th!
