Answering Questions – What's Next for SMBMSP

In an effort to answer many of the questions raised in conversations yesterday, I want to take this opportunity to clear up confusion and answer those questions.

We believe there is more that Social Media Breakfast MSP can do and we’ve got plans in motion to provide those additional services. Wondering what these plans and “additional services” are? Here’s an overview of what’s coming shortly.

  • Training Options (Webinar, Classroom, Customized for business clients)
  • Tiered Membership Model (Free, Pro, Premium)
  • Advanced Community Participation (Leadership Council, Mentoring & Internships)

SMBMSP Changes & Your Concerns

Hi folks, a quick note is in order about the upcoming SMBMSP at the Great Minnesota Get-Together, aka the Minnesota State Fair!

This is the first event we’re charging for, and while I know this seems like a sudden change, it is one that positions SMBMSP to better answer the needs of our community. We (that means mostly Rick and quite often Mykl, but also a number of other people), want to make each event really valuable. So far we’ve gotten really lucky in doing this because of our strong community and the support it gives in ideas and topics and connections. Continue reading

SMBMSP Discount on New Twitter Book

Addition by Adoption by Kevin Hendricksby Kevin D. Hendricks

Some dork turned his tweets into a book. That dork is me and the book is called Addition by Adoption: Kids, Causes & 140 Characters. It’s a curated selection of tweets about raising kids, embracing causes and my family’s adoption. It’s an interesting collision of social media and publishing.

I’ll be at Friday’s Social Media Breakfast 27 and we’ll be giving away a few copies of the book. We’ll also have a special SMBMSP discount.

SMBMSP Discount

The book is normally $9.99 on Amazon and $2 of every copy goes to charity: water to build a well in Ethiopia. Continue reading
