Sounds to me like you need a blog as well – which you can link to both Facebook and LinkedIn, so your blog updates show up there as well.

Hi,

I’m on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=643141653&ref=profile and LinkedIn, but would like to learn how to use and navigate them more effectively.

Especially to promote events, causes and my own creative work.

Helen, delighted to see your entry.

Do you have any kind of ‘web presence’? Facebook, LinkedIn, flickr, Twitter?

Hi,

I would like to know more about Social Media and blogging, so entered your contest. I do freelance Public Relations and Marketing for independent film, non-profits and arts groups.

I think learning more about Social Media will really help, since mainstream media often doesn’t cover the projects I work on in great detail. The work I do is usually not in the mainstream, so I’ve found Social Media to be more effective.

I hope to learn more about blogging, so I can create my own blog; more about the different kinds of Social Media and how to reach the public. It would also be interesting to learn about the future of Social Media.

Thank you for the contest–it’s a great idea.

Helen

Thanks for visiting, Bill. You would have made a great facilitator for a program I attended a few years ago at Vancouver’s Alliance for Arts and Culture. Called SEARCH, it was a month-long program designed to get artists and arts administrators thinking like self-employed people (if not entrepreneurs).

Hey Ruth…what a great idea! I clicked on your tweet reply and ended up here. A couple of days ago I ws reading shoemoney blogger and remembered contests or should I say his post kicked my butt and give me great ideas for contests and now you have helped me clarify some other parts I have been stumbling around.

BTW I love Vancouver…had our election gone differently I would probably be heading up there for good!

Thanks for the tweet and the support!!!
