TOPIC: Release the blog and tweet within
SPEAKER: Jo Parfitt
We all know we need to blog regularly if we are to build a ‘tribe’ or global network. Meetings with Karin Nijhuis, Andrea Martins and Toma Haines in October, November and February taught us that we need to be internet savvy if we run a business. But blogging and tweeting are great ways of keeping in touch with your loved ones and making new friends too.
This workshop will show you how to decide what to write on that blog and what to say and in those tweets. Led by wordsmith, Jo Parfitt, who has been blogging for three years and tweeting for one, will share her tips and ideas on how to make blogging work for you.
