Before I tell you how this online event will speed your path to
social media marketing success, let me share a story with you.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
PROOF SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING WORKS...
--------------------------------------------------------------------

A few months ago, Michael Stelzner (the guy who wrote the book on
white papers) surveyed about 900 social media marketers and wrote a
report on how they use sites like Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn.
Only three days after releasing his report, more than 15,000 people
read it and hundreds posted comments.

Within two weeks, nearly 30,000 people had read his report, more
than 100 media outlets and bloggers wrote about it, and it was
reposted on Twitter more than 1500 times!  He also was offered
$30,000 to do some work directly resulting from the buzz around his
report.

Almost overnight, he was being called a social media expert (a term
he denies) and popular podcasters were trying to book airtime with
him.

This all took place via social media.  He simply leveraged the
power of sites like Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn to deliver the
kind of results that would have cost him a fortune in the past.
This didn't cost him a dime, just his time.

Now the connection...  The future of marketing is all about social
media because it bypasses the middleman and allows you to rapidly
connect with your clients and prospects!  AND this presents an
enormous opportunity for you.

-----------------------------------------------------------
SO WHAT'S THIS ABOUT?
-----------------------------------------------------------

Michael (and his team) have been working for months to bring the
best minds in social media marketing together in an event called
Social Media Success Summit 2009

The focus is to empower you to use tools like Twitter, Facebook and
LinkedIn to attract high-caliber customers and grow your business
during the economic slump.  Not only can you gain amazing exposure
for your business with social media marketing, you'll also generate
traffic, new partnerships and qualified leads.

Many of the social media marketing superstars will be summit
instructors, such as Gary Vaynerchuk (Wine Library TV), Darren
Rowse (Problogger), Mari Smith (Facebook guru), Jason Alba (wrote
the book on LinkedIn), Ann Handley (MarketingProfs), Brian Clark
(Copyblogger), Chris Garrett (Authority Blogger), Denise Wakeman
(BlogSquad) and of course, yours truly [remove your name]. Together
this team of "who's who" in social media marketing will help you
succeed using practical tactics.

This is the world's first major online event designed to empower
marketers and small business owners to master the art social media
marketing.  And the great news is it's a live online event you can
attend from your home or office.

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU
-----------------------------------------------------------

First, you don't need to be a techno-geek or twenty-something to
use and benefit from social media.  You might be surprised to learn
that most social media marketers are aged 30 to 50 and have only
been using social media for a few months.

In fact, even traditional businesses like Ford Motor Company are
heavily focused on social media.  This is not some "young kids"
phenomenon.

Social Media Success Summit 2009 will help you discover the best
ways to market your business with popular social media sites, such
as Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn.  You'll also learn how major
social media campaigns were executed and how you can achieve
similar results (play-by-play steps provided).

It's fully dedicated to empowering you.  You'll discover how to
grow your business using no-cost social media tactics.

Yes, attending this online event (and applying the techniques) will
grow your business.  But there's much more.  You'll also join a
community of like-minded women and men who'll share their
experiences and wisdom.
