Social Media Marketing Presentation – Available Online
August 5th, 2011
I’m passionate about helping small business owners or employees improve the online presence of their business.
Social media marketing plays an increasingly large role in marketing your business online.
Unfortunately, there are still many people in business that don’t quite know where to start with Facebook, Twitter and other social media marketing channels. Or they’ve started and are stuck – not knowing how to make the most of social media for their business.
On 4 August 2011, I gave a presentation about social media marketing for businesses to about 100 women at an event organised by the Coffs Coast Business Women’s Network in Coffs Harbour NSW, Australia.
I had so much information to share but was only able to scratch the surface in the half an hour that I had.
But for everyone who was there and want to view the full presentation in their own time – and for everyone who couldn’t be there – I’ve now made the slides available online.
The presentation includes some useful links to websites and tools to make social media marketing a bit easier for you and your business.
My presentation is available here:
Of course, these tips don’t go into too much detail either as they’re only the slides with the main points from my presentation.

Ask yourself these questions:
- Are you taking full advantage yet of the power of social media marketing for your business?
- Do you blog?
- Is your business on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn?
- Should it be?
- If so, which networks should you choose?
- And how do you get the most out of it in as little time as possible (because everyone is busy)?
I think it’s disappointing to see that so many local businesses aren’t clued in yet to social media marketing and are simply ignoring it. I welcome the opportunity to clear up some misconceptions and share some good ways of using social media to benefit your business.
In my presentation, I will take you through the ins and outs of social media marketing for business using real-life examples. I’ll share valuable tips on the best ways of getting maximum exposure to your target audience on Twitter and Facebook in particular.
The talk will only be short but there will be an opportunity to ask questions. If you are interested in learning more, please let me know after the talk or send me an email, as I may be conducting more in-depth workhops soon. I am also available for one-on-one social media consulting and training.

Helping Small Businesses Embrace Social Media
May 18th, 2011
How often do you read or hear something like this: “Social media is a MUST for business these days.” Or: “Your business NEEDS to be on Twitter and Facebook!”
Hardly a day goes by without seeing another story about the importance of social media and the need for businesses to be active on social networks such as Facebook and Twitter.
Almost all speakers at business networking events tell their audience they would be fools to ignore the power of social media. In fact, I went to an ETC Business Leaders event in Coffs Harbour just yesterday (17 May 2011) where David Koch (“Kochie”) reminded the more than 300 business people in the room they needed to be on Twitter and Facebook if they’re serious about their business.
And I agree. Most businesses can benefit greatly from social media interaction. But only if you know what you’re doing, otherwise it can be a waste of your time.
Social Media Marketing: Helping businesses make the most of it
As a web consultant assisting small businesses and organisations with their online marketing and communications (as well as copywriting and SEO), I have been helping businesses get started on Facebook and Twitter for a few years now.
After joining Twitter myself in early 2009, I quickly embraced it and now can’t imagine not being a part of that wonderful network. For me, it’s the perfect and easiest way to follow industry leaders, to interact and socialise with peers and very importantly: to learn, discover and stay up to date.
Although I’ve offered social media consultancy/marketing/management services for a while, it wasn’t mentioned specifically on my website before. It is now: Social Media Consulting.
SOCIAL MEDIA SERVICES: I offer social media consulting, training and workshops, social media strategies, setting up of professional Facebook Pages and Twitter profiles, getting targeted followers and if required, full management of your social media accounts.
Although I am based in Coffs Harbour on the NSW North Coast, Australia, I offer social media consulting and management to clients around Australia and anywhere else in the world.
If you want professional advice or training to learn how to effectively use Twitter and/or Facebook for your business, you can find out more here: Social Media Marketing & Consultancy and if you’d like my help, please get in touch with me, Micky Stuivenberg of Triple W Communications, to discuss your social media goals and requirements.
