    Use the social media fad to generate buzz & presale tickets in 6 quick steps

     
    Millions of people are using social media. Spending a few minutes a day on social media can help generate buzz about your upcoming event.

    Millions of people are using social media. Spending a few minutes a day on social media can help generate buzz about your upcoming event.

    Social media might just seem like the latest fad, but it’s taken the world by storm. Everyone is using it and it’s now the easiest way to reach people online. It might not be your idea of fun, but there are now more people Facebooking than there are people in America and you need to reach them on their terms. So it’s time to drink the Kool-Aid and use social media to promote your upcoming event. And there’s good news: social media sites really aren’t hard to use.

    Spending a just few minutes a day on social media sites could mean the difference between a packed house and an empty room at your next event. Here are six easy steps to generate buzz and presale tickets using social media for your next event:

    1. Create Twitter and Facebook pages for your event. Both sites are free to use and signing up only takes a few minutes.  Research local users on Twitter and fans on Facebook and recruit them to spread the word about your event in the months, weeks and days leading up to the event. The earlier you start using it, the more time you’ll have to generate a buzz. 
    2. Announce all important details about your event.  Inform your followers about all major event announcements. This includes keynote speaker announcements, press coverage, event venue or time changes, number of tickets left, etc.: anything that might interest potential bloggers, tweeters and event goers.
    3. Ask for your followers input. Interact with your potential attendees throughout the event planning process. What topics should be discussed? What are they anticipating about the event? What do they hope to learn? Asking questions will generate new ideas and help spread the word about the event.
    4. Reward your social media followers. Offer incentives to your followers, such as ticket discounts. Post online discount codes for your event’s tickets and, chances are, they will spread the word and let others know about special pricing to help you sell more tickets. You can also ask your followers to ‘retweet’ or repost your announcements. Compelling or rewarding posts have a better chance of getting reposted.
    5. Consolidate your social networking. Programs such as TweetDeck make intensive Twitter updates a breeze, with lightning-fast URL shortening and picture uploading. You can save time by linking your Facebook page to Twitter so your tweets appear on both sites, as well sending on-the-go marketing blasts through your cell phone.
    6. Post regularly. You’ve got to stay as enthusiastic about your event as you want your customers to be, so daily posts are a must. Just devote five minutes each day to social media to keep building buzz about your event.

    Fwd: Information Paper Proposed Changes To The Canada Pension Plan



    Subject: Information Paper Proposed Changes To The Canada Pension Plan

    Take notice. The federal government wants us to keep working in some fashion (and paying into CPP) until 65 before starting to draw the benefits!  Incentives/disincentives to do that.  Keeping the plan solvent I us.

    Mexican Coastal Cities For Possible Retirement

     

    There will have to be water nearby when it comes time to say that "I'm now semi-retired in Mexico", if/when that happens. I'm hoping.

    Keeping your joy and happiness

    I needed some words like these this morning as I questioned failed and flawed relationships and some that never really got started.  David DeAngelo...and before you sneer, I'd just say take them for what they say.  Spend time with and have people in your life who bring you joy and happiness, and try to avoid the roller coaster people/partners/friends, unless the two of you are riding in the same car of the same roller coaster.  Give thanks this weekend ( Canada only) for those who do bring joy and happiness...a lover, a friend, a real partner, I'm saying to self at this moment!   

    Here's where I saw this
    "You'll notice that a lot of guys write in to the Mailbags with questions like "I'm dating four women right now, and they're all wonderful, but there's this ONE girl that I just can't get... how do I make the one that isn't interested LIKE me?" This is a curious thing. We humans always want the approval of the person who doesn't want to give it to us. Instead of just walking away and saying "your loss", we often chase after them, begging and pleading for their approval... and thinking that we must have done something wrong. Remember, some people actually ENJOY making other people feel bad. Some women actually ENJOY rejecting men. It gives them a feeling of power. There are MANY women who will spend all week shopping, two hours putting on their clothing and makeup (and doing their hair), just to go out and get attention from men... so they can reject those men, and complain to their friends about what "losers" and "pigs" men are, and how they hate it when men look at them like a "piece of meat". Go figure. Let me give you a little "tough love". Part of growing up, becoming a REAL MAN, and getting this area of your life handled is realizing that not all women are nice people, and not letting those that aren't nice AFFECT YOU. You can reach a point in your life where your attitude become "I do not give anyone permission to take my joy, happiness, and good mood from me". When you get to this point, then IT DOESN'T MATTER if a woman doesn't respond positively to your approach. It doesn't matter if she rejects you. It doesn't matter if she doesn't have a sense of humor. None of this matters when you don't give anyone permission to TAKE YOUR JOY FROM YOU. My advice: Learn to walk away. Learn to blow it"
