This is the social networking platform created specifically for professionals and if you are in business today, you cannot ignore it.
Linkedin is on online database of professional work histories and interests, including yours if you have an account, and is a gold mine of information that can help you in your business if you know how to use it.
The challenge is most users don’t know what they should be doing on Linkedin. There are so many things you can do on it, with layers that can go quite deep, that it remains an underultilized tool and a mystery for most users in Vancouver.
On March 20th, at 6:30pm come hear what an expert panel of Linkedin users have to say about how they use it for business and why it’s better than most of the other social networking platforms when it comes to generating business and growing your professional network.
---Details---
What: Linkedin the Social Networking Platform You Can’t Ignore – Expert Discussion
Who: Panel discussion with several Linkedin Experts
Where: Ceilis Irish Pub, 670 Smithe and Granville
When: 6:30pm, Tuesday, March 20th, 2012
Cost: None
How to RSVP: Please RSVP you and your friend on the Vancouver Business, Marketing and Entrepreneur meetup at http://www.meetup.com/Vancouver-Business-Marketing-Entrepreneur/events/53219062/1 year ago -

Guess what? I'm sponsoring the the Fusion 1-day Social Media Conference which happens this Friday, May 6th. This is a full day of seminars by elite internet marketing speakers starting at 8am and going until 6pm, at a regular ticket price of $379.
However, since I'm a sponsor, they've given me 10 tickets at $99 each for this FULL DAY Social Media conference. So if you'd like to come, have a look at the event description (http://www.iimaonline.org/fusion2011/) and use this promo code when you register "VBME2011".
This is obviously a limited time offer, so if you want it, pls register now. The link to the event page is http://www.iimaonline.org/fusion2011/
Best,

First, many of you have already figured this out and registed, but the link to register was in error in the last email and the actual link is http://iima.cloverpad.org/widget/Default.aspx?pageId=728669&eventId=287768 <--- just follow the steps and use the promo code "VBME2011" when prompted.
Now...
As it turns out, the first 10 registrants get a copy of the book "SEO Theory & Practice" by Stephan Spencer & Rand Fishkin. I don't know how you'll get the book, I only assume that you'll be able to get it at the registration area when you arrive - and I don't know if it was the first 10 registrants for the overall event, or for first 10 from the offer I'm making. My apologies for that, please check with the conference if you want the book.
Also, if you register for the conference at the discounted price of $99 (from $379), then Social Media trainer Matt Astifan will give you a $100 towards any of his social media courses. So YES, you essentially get the conference for FREE (just show him your receipt from the conference). Thank you to Matt for offering thsi.
Just wanted to let you know.2 years ago
