#PD15 Webinar: "Effectively Using Social Media to Promote" with Khalid Muhammad

Presenter:

Khalid Muhammad

Presentation title: 

Effectively Using Social Media to Promote

Presentation outline:

1 – Introduction to Social Media platforms

2 – Selecting the right platforms

3 – Crafting a message for the respective platforms

4 – Capturing information

5 – Driving the sale

Presenter Bio:

Born in Pakistan’s troubled Swat Valley, educated and raised in the United States, Khalid returned to Pakistan almost 17 years ago and fell in love with his country. His debut novel, Agency Rules – Never an Easy Day at the Office, is a journey behind the headlines about Pakistan, the world’s most dangerous place, to deliver an intense story that will challenge the reader to question everything they have been told about the country.

He began writing to let the wickedness escape, as the other option means a great deal of blood, numerous torture implements and… well, infinite ways to dump a body. It’s safer for everyone involved and less dangerous for the guilty… until he writes another book.

Interview with #PD14 presenter Rivka Kawano

Yesterday I interviewed PD14 presenter Rivka Kawano in a live Google hangout about her upcoming presentation Google+ for Authors. If you missed the live event you can watch it here:

Rivka explains that "Google+ is not just another social media platform. It has a lot to do with search. It has a lot to do with authority and rankings. It has a lot to do with tying together everything that you're doing" and that "it can be a really powerful tool if you know how to use". 

Rivka can't wait for this years event and is "looking forward to connecting with more people."

To gain access to Rivka's presentation, and all the other great presentations and activities at Promo Day, just click on the Register Now tab in the navigation bar above. It's completely free and open to all.
