Webinar: Use Your Spare Creative Energy to Build a Community with Sandy Lender

Webinar Title: Use Your Spare Creative Energy to Build a Community

Presenter: Sandy Lender

A brief outline of what will be covered:

Authors have used blogs to attract audiences to their new releases since the early 2000s. For the past 10 years, attracting an audience to a blog has become more difficult. Enter the concept of building a community or network. We’re not talking about going back to forums and yahoo groups. Instead, we’ll talk specifically about how to build a community similar to the Mighty Networks concept, either on that emerging (and impressive) platform or on other free platforms. You CAN bring all your marketing elements together in one place and it doesn’t have to be scary.

In this session, we’ll look specifically at:

·  How to decide who you invite to your network—how to “niche down” to make the community work for its members

·  How to set the goals for your network

·  How to prepare topics for engagement

· How to make your community—large or small—profitable in engagement, dollars, traffic, or what YOUR goal may be
