What's The Buzz on Social Media Week?

Social Media Week conferences take place simultaneously in multiple cities around the world. The aim of each event is to advance the use and understanding of social media in the corporate, public and non-profit sectors.

The second annual conference will take place between February 1st – 5th, 2010 simultaneously in New York City, Berlin, London, San Francisco, Toronto and São Paulo. The five day conference will explore the profound impact that social media has on culture, business communications and society at large.

The week-long, international Social Media Week conference is designed as a series of localized events, which city partners are responsible for organizing. Over the course of the week and in each city, programs will span a variety of formats, ranging from talks, presentations and panel discussions, to interactive workshops, seminars, networking events and drinks receptions.

Each event, including the live stream and backchannel conversations will be hosted on the Social Media Week website, allowing for participants from around the world and across multiple cities to take part in the conference.

“Social media has permeated society and is creating a global community that is unprecedented in scope. Social Media Week embraces this phenomenon and is pioneering the way as a global platform for conversation, connectivity and learning. The conference aims to advance the uses of social media in the corporate, public and non-profit sectors, and engage communities on a local and global level.”
Toby Daniels, founder and organizer of Social Media Week

Social Media Week organizers and local partners will plan some of the events, however just as in 2009, the local business community has been invited to add their own events to the program to broaden the scope and diversity of the conference.

The initial program of events will be published soon, in the meantime, if you would like to get involved, we would love to hear from you.

Are You Ready To SHINE?

I wanted to give you a quick heads-up about a groundbreaking
preview call hosted by Ali Brown coming up on *Wednesday, July
29*.

It's called "Shine: The New Entrepreneurial Model That's
Changing the World"

(In a hurry? Sign up for this complimentary call now at
http://www.autowebbusiness.com/app/?af=1020365 )

If you haven't heard of Ali, get ready to have your world
changed forever. This dynamic woman is paving a new road for
entrepreneurs with her business models and income growth
strategies. She got started with internet marketing and has
since then created a multimillion dollar company devoted to
helping women and men create profitable businesses (and lives)
that can help change the world. (She even recently launched her
own print magazine, but you'll hear about that later.)

The important thing to know is that Ali's methods work - she's
helped everyone from home-based moms to millionaires double or
triple their revenues by ramping up their businesses.

Well, Ali's ready to launch something brand new and BIG. And
she's revealing all on this one-time complimentary teleseminar
called "Shine," which you can learn more about at
http://www.autowebbusiness.com/app/?af=1020365.

You see, there's a monumental shift happening in business, and
the world.

Previous income models are failing and fading. Entrepreneurs who
are continuing to operate as they have previously are finding
the same old strategies are not working anymore. In fact, they
are likely hurting their business.

The "traditional" paradigms for success are collapsing. And
those who know will be leading the way as they SHINE...

* It's not about working harder - it's about daring to work
differently
* It's not about marketing with hype - it's about authenticity,
with style
* It's not about dreaming dreams - it's about pursuing them
purposefully
* It's not about materialism - it's about wealth of self, inside
and out

Ali will explain it all on this one-time call. She'll also be
sharing about her groundbreaking new LIVE Shine event this fall
in Las Vegas, Nevada. (And you'll learn how you can enjoy a
generous $500 discount off the ticket price.)

Will You Be Attending The Next NAMS?

So what is NAMS?

NAMS stands for Niche Affiliate Marketing System and they will be holding their second workshop this year here in Atlanta August 14-17 at the Atlanta Hartsfield Airport Crowne Plaza. The workshop which is 3 full days and half day on Monday is a fantastic opportunity to learn how to create or improve affiliate marketing for your own business or generate a passive income on the side.

Unlike many other workshops, NAMS will be hands-on and full content. There will be no pitching of products or pushing you to buy anything. The participants will be broken up into one of three categories (beginner, intermediate and advanced) based on an entry survey and taught at their specific level. Many of the instructors from the first will be returning, along with 10 highly skilled volunteers to help the students throughout the weekend.

The line up for NAMS is impressive, Jeff Herring, Lynn Terry, Mark Hendricks, Willie Crawford, Kathleen Gage, Cathy Perkins, David Preston & David Perdew along with several others will be on hand to work with students all weekend. Each speaker will:

1. Demonstrate how to implement the information they're delivering in 60-90 minutes
2. Lead a workshop where you IMPLEMENT what you've just learned in 90 minutes
3. Review what you've just done, get your questions answered and improvements made
4. And then the instructor is expected to be available on a personal one-on-one basis throughout the weekend to answer your bigger questions

Lunches will be taken as a whole and be an opportunity for students to network and speak with the instructors. Sounds great doesn't it? I am so excited about going. There is still time to sign up  but they are already more than half sold out. If you are interested in going the current price is $297 and goes up to $397, July 1st. As a bonus, if you sign up in the next 24hrs you can receive $50 off the cost bringing it down to $247. This bonus is being offered by David Perdew, one of the organizers. I make no money off this. Just go to: www.NicheAffiliateMarketingSystem.com/lynn and use the code lynnt50 until June 25th at Midnight to get the discount.

I think this is a fantastic offer for so much content and well worth the investment. Check out the sales page and read the whole thing. You won't believe how generous this offer is. Let me know if you sign up I would love to meet you in person.

Announcing BizOmundo!

Im so excited to tell you, I recently got back in touch with an old friend from High School via Facebook, who now lives in San Diego. We were sharing what we were up to and to my delight he is rolling out an awesome new product today. Web developer, Terry Hall has created a new business building platform called bizOmundo created to help business owners promote themselves and their business. And you guys are some of the first people to know about it.

I asked Terry to explain to me what bizOmundo is and just how it works. "Your business gets a FREE website/blog for sales, promotion and list development. YOU assist others in mastering the business of  business, with comments, feedback and suggestions for their business and content", Terry says. "The combined efforts creates a wonderful synergy between unique content and social networking that Google loves."

I asked Terry what prompted him to design the site. "I designed the site out of my frustration with social networking. "I've MySpaced, Twittered, LinkedIn, Ryzed, eCademy-ed, FastPitched and Facebooked which got me some traffic to my sites, but not in proportion to the effort I put in." Furthermore Terry says, "For bizOmundo.com, I'm using a Wordpress MU blogging platform with buddypress social network to create a cooperative network of websites and blogs that Google will love.

"The role of bizOmundo is that of the conductor for an orchestra. We will provide "targeted keywords" with little search engine competition for our bloggers to write about from their specific business/niche point of view. The network will then comment, share and bookmark the articles and posts that they like. BizOmundo will promote the most popular posts in editorials via our newsletter, RSS feeds and on various WEB 2.0 sites."

Sounds like a great idea and I'm really excited to see what it can do. Since today is the official launch I'd recommend getting signed up as quickly as possible while it's still being offered as a free product as Terry expects to add more upgrades soon and will be charging a monthly fee for premium options and a more comprehensive set of features.

Terry has another site I recommend you check out. It's a global networking events site Networking Event Finders that has been up and running since October 2008. I wish Terry great success with both sitesand hope you will visit them both.
