Event Description

Social media has exploded onto the scene and the administraton at Kauai Community College's Office of Continuing Education & Training (OCET) felt it was vital to provide the local business community with a course about the basics.

The course will be offered in two 3-hour sessions on April 4 and 6, 2011 between 12:00 and 3:00pm at the Priinceville Community Center, 4334 Emmalani Drive, Princeville, Kauai, HI.

Attendees will have the opportunity to explore:
• What is social media? It’s more than Facebook and LinkedIn.
• The top 4 benefits of social media marketing.
• The difference between a Facebook profile and a Fan Page and how to start yours.
• Creating a Twitter account and deciding what to “Tweet.”
• 6 tips for maximizing the power of your LinkedIn profile.
• 5 benefits of blogging and 8 ideas to get your creative juices flowing.

Prerequisite: Students should have computer experience and are encouraged to bring their laptops with them.

Please note the class is across two days - April 4th and 6th. The system would only let me do one date...

 

Also, I know y'all are already social media users, but I thought I'd add this event so you could share it with any Kauai business people you know who could use an introduction to social media.

 

Mahalo.
