Social Media Success Summit - Virtual Event Featuring Gary Vaynerchuk

Posted on April 28th, 2009.

Social media is the latest, greatest craze. Just like the gold rushes of days gone by, business men and women and every day folks are stampeding to social media in droves.

But where’s the best place to start to really understand how to effectively integrate social media into your marketing efforts? How do you find your exact target market? How do you measure your results? And, how do you MONETIZE your activity on giant sites like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube?

My colleagues and I will be providing the answers to all these questions and much, much more on a VIRTUAL conference: the Social Media Success Summit to be held on May 26th through June 17th.

This is the first major online event dedicated to helping businesses succeed with social media marketing. We spread the summit out over four weeks, with multiple sessions each week to make it easier to attend. Audio and video recordings plus transcripts from each session are included..

The line-up is an all-star cast:
