“Hi Everyone,

If you’d like to learn fast-tracking ways to use Social Media so that you and your business look great, come along for a fun day of learning on Friday the 21st of June. Previous courses like this have seen our participants flying high online creating their own relevant Facebook groups, clever usage of Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and importantly building diverse networks of like minded people who are interested in Social Media.

Cancel everything else, book a sitter, get someone to pick up the kids, and come along!
See how to enhance your LinkedIn profile (or start it), learn how to optimise your use of Instagram, LinkedIn, see interesting examples of Pinterest, and hear tricks that save you time. Bring your questions…

Runway Digital’s director Samantha Bell will be running the Sydney Social Media Workshop and has six years of business Social Media experience here in Australia and internationally so she’ll give you lots of tips relevant to you. She will show you the latest international Social Media trends and you’ll also learn from people of the Northern Beaches area who come along.

The Sydney Social Media Workshop is deliberately at a low cost for you due to Samantha’s ongoing committment to connecting people and to ‘closing the digital gap’. To enable you to quickly get up to speed and to make it easy for you to create Social Media that works for you personally. If you have a business, you will pick up effective ways to gain business benefits.

This one-day session (9:00am – 3:00pm) will cover these topics and more:
* Learn how to strategise your Social Media. What can you do with the time you have available? Which apps, tools, sites and systems can save you time, help you do Social Media on the fly and integrate with your life easily.
* How do you connect with like minded people, businesses, clients.
* Plenty of time for questions to be asked and answered.

There will be a lot of examples of showing individuals and organisations who are using Social Media well during the course and links for you to refer to after the course.

For those who want a LinkedIn profile, we will help you start. By the close of the course, you will leave either with a complete profile or clear steps to finalise it.

Looking forward to seeing you then!
Sam Bell from Runway Digital.”

This event is brought to you by clever Christy Kemp, the wonderful Runway Digital support crew and the Avalon Recreation Centre.

Foursquare Melbourne Airport Lift-Off

Imagine buying something online and on delivery, it not being exactly what it looked like in the picture.

Your social media profile is the same: what you say, look like, present to people online.

Showcase who you are, to the level you are comfortable with.

Find the people want to learn from you by saying what you’re clever at.

Simple.

Where to start with Social Media

Blog by Runway Digital Capt’n, Samantha Bell.

These are words that were added to Nikki White’s new online business community for Natural Therapists – a wonderful new initiative – and are posted here for those who are new to Social Media or possibly those caught in doing too much, unfocused work in Social Media for their businesses. Enjoy:

“Remember that people want to contact you via different online sites – Facebook, Twitter, email, your website etc. Work out who you wish to attract, what sites they use, and how often you want to post on these sites. Look for automated tools such as Buffer and plan an amount of time each month to plan relevant topics you want to write about (or find information on) to provide value to your audience.

A big advantage is having someone update Social Media for you. This is where a virtual assistant can come in handy or even a family member / friend who can help out. Don’t get too exhausted trying to update loads of sites. Update settings to send you an email if you don’t log in regularly. (If you log in to Facebook / Twitter etc regularly then turn these settings off – don’t double up!).

Enjoy engaging with people through these sites – get it organised so you don’t feel exhausted.”

Hope this helps. Get in touch for more support via Twitter: Runway Digital or Samantha Bell.

Learning Social Media and gaining business benefits: Digital Treasure Hunts

Learning Social Media and gaining business benefits: Digital Treasure Hunts

The Runway Digital crew has been hectic of late! We’ve refined and refined the Digital Treasure Hunts services and products ready for lift-off. Druuum roll please…

The Digital Treasure Hunts’ services include:

* Hunts for large events (3 hours, 100+ people),

* One-day Hunts for groups of 15-60, and

* Company Hunts – many one-day Digital Treasure Hunts for relevant teams and departments, over your desired time-period, combined with ongoing competitions to embed learning.

* Optional extras include filming of the event, additional Social Media experts to further enhance learning, and advanced techniques for public events and more advanced users.

Company Hunts include an Social Media audit providing insight to your organisation’s level of Social Media understanding, your company’s online risks and opportunities – including how to improve Twitter, Facebook and other sites; your company’s online influence network (which is often yet to be tapped). We also tailor content to include your Social Media policy, work with you to decide an appropriate order on the training timetable (with respect to key priorities and urgent groups) and design a cross-company competition that has everyone engaged.

Pricing starts at $12,000 for a one day Hunt for 15 people.

Our vision is to bring Social Media to businesses in a way that delivers bottom-line results and has people learn new communication methods in a fun and productive way.

What’s exciting is that we’ve incorporated the workshops we’ve run successfully many times (Online Content Development and Growing your Online Audience), with a focus on business benefits, interactivity, and fun learning. Come on, come Hunting with us!
