Blog Coaching

"It is remarkable what a smart individual with passion can do with a blog.

"People have blogged their way to dream jobs (and book deals) through the ideas they express. Rock bands have built loyal followings and gained record contracts. Political candidates have broken out of the pack.

"And companies have competed effectively even against much larger, better-funded players. — David Meerman Scott

http://nodestone.com/smlp

Social media is hitting the headlines in nearly every sector of business, government and society. We’re here to help you get beyond the hype to make positive things happen in the real world.

“(Online) social networks… are the growth economies of the internet. And the rapid growth of social interaction online will lead to deeper changes for the charity sector, as people seek trusted personal connections in place of corporate communications…”

“The overwhelming majority of charities … want to engage with supporters in social networks… The pioneering work of charities online already shows how the sector’s landscape will change irrevocably, and for the better.” The Guardian - Society

“The number of charities using blogs, YouTube, Flickr and other social media tools, along with mobile technologies in campaigns, will rise this year. The challenge will be choosing the right combination.” From Third Sector Magazine. “Expert view: The rise and rise of social media”

Find out why everyone’s talking about integrating tools into their campaigns and online presence like: Facebook, Flickr, Wikipedia, youtube, blogs, Twitter, e-newsletters. Most are free to use.

Through experience and research, we know what works and have designed a learning programme that uses the best of individual, group and sector learning - with an affordable and effective mix of face-to-face, phone, email and online support.

* Flexible, affordable ways to learn how to use the latest internet-based social media techniques.

* Work practically on examples (including your own) that give clear insight to what social media can and can’t achieve.

* Come and find out for yourself why this is essential knowledge, how to use it, who’s online, what they are doing and where you can go to find out more.
