Does the very term ’social networking’ fill you with overwhelm and get your technophobic gremlins overexcited?

This 4-part live teleconference series simplifies and demystifies the world of Twitter, one of the most popular social networking forums.

Enjoy this experiential welcome to the virtual village, where networking is based on a foundation of interdependence and win-win and where fun, discovery and connection are the keys to success.

Having been skeptical and resistant to Twitter (why would I waste my life reading stuff like, ‘I’m having a coffee’?!) Corrina succinctly showed us how it saves time, enables easy promotion and networking, and is invaluable to many businesses.

I was inspired to sign up the next day and, having practised a bit, can see how it will help me reach more people with my message about relationships.

Corrina has a knack for imparting information quickly and clearly, understanding what is relevant to different people, and responding to varied participant needs.

Having spent less than 30 minutes in the effervescent company of the fabulous Corrina Gordon-Barnes bashing on about the delights of Twitter, I have to say that I now feel completely enlightened. Not in a spiritual sense, of course, but more in a sense that I now ‘get it’ – tweeting on Twitter is not a pointless waste of life. It can be (and that’s the point, it’s up to you how you tweet and why you tweet) a life and business enhancing experience – who’d have thought it?!

FAQs

1. How does the teleconference work?

With the confirmation of your place, you will receive the bridge-line number to call. You simply dial in at the designated time and you will be able to hear and speak with me and the other participants on the line, just as you would if you entered a physical conference room. The content of the class will simplify and demystify the world of Twitter – I will lead this, you can enjoy and make notes – and you will also have the opportunity to ask questions.

2. How much will the teleconference calls cost?

We are using a US number so check your long-distance call rates. My BT calling plan includes the International Option which means the call works out at around £1.60. (To check your BT calling plan: 0800 800 150). Another option is to use a company like 1899.com which is free to set up and gives calls from the UK to the US for 1p per minute.

3. Who is this masterclass series for?

It has been designed for you if you are a social entrepreneur, small business owner or if you have any project or venture that you want to communicate online. You might be a coach, acupuncturist or florist; a yoga teacher, independent retailer or sculptor; a tutor, scriptwriter or gardener – to name only a few.

4. Will you also talk about Facebook and other social media forums?

We’ll be looking specifically at Twitter to keep the masterclass targeted and as there are a lot of features to include. However, I will make links with other social media such as blogging and Facebook and the vast majority of the principles are universal marketing principles which can be applied in other contexts, both offline and online.

5. How does the mentoring session work?

I have included a mentoring session in this masterclass series so that you can have some highly-focused individual attention. You can book your mentoring session at any point throughout the series and before our call, I will take a look at your Twitter profile so that I can share specific observations with you. The session will help you get ever-more concise in your core marketing message: who you help, how and why you help them, your unique approach – and how you communicate all this with others. A mentoring session is normally priced at £75 and here this is included in the overall price of the masterclass series.

6. Do you run any workshops on this topic?

My intention is to offer a full-day workshop on both offline and online networking. If you want to be kept informed, simply leave your details here and you’ll be amongst the first to know when workshop dates are set.

Corrina’s use of Twitter and Facebook is amazing. She warmly tweets her everyday humanity for all to see which has quickly created a loyal following for her and her brand.

Through tweets that are full of soul and pass-along-value she can teach you how promote your service and keep your target market interested indefinitely.
