Last week I attended Increase Sales with Social Media seminar at the Marriott in Newport Beach. As I described in my previous post, I walked away from the event with a wealth of social networking ideas to incorporate into Bolt PR’s social media efforts for our business and our clients’ organizations.
Here is a condensed version of day 2:
8:00 am – Keynote speaker David Carleton kicked off the morning with a presentation on Linkbait marketing and how to capture more leads
Biggest takeaway: host a webinar or a giveaway on your website for linkbait
9:30 am – Mike Koenigs stressed the effectiveness of using video sites to increase traffic
Biggest takeaway: purchase a Flip camera to record video for easy uploading
11:00 am – Shama Hyder provided 3 steps to rock Facebook
Biggest takeaway: think of Facebook like a coffee shop and act accordingly
12:30 pm – Lunch at P.F. Changs
Biggest takeaway: you can never go wrong with lettuce wraps
1:30 pm – Viva Visibility founder, Nancy Marmolejo, unveiled how to establish yourself as an expert through social media
Biggest takeaway: not claiming your expertise is costing you money
3:15 pm – Bill Wardell, a lens master, introduced the power of Squidoo
Biggest takeaway: Google loves Squidoo
5:00 pm – The conference ended and I made a stop at Pinkberry before driving home
Biggest takeaway: we need a Pinkberry in North San Diego County
Biggest disappointment of the seminar? I did not win any of the raffle prizes.

Seminars are the perfect media to help those who cannot or prefer not to learn via the traditional classroom setting, or to read extensive materials on the topic. Yet, marketing seminars seriously help people learn a great deal of the seminar topic and how to best use it in their lives.
