Are you ready to dive into the social networking pool to expand your community and grow your following?

Do you want to spend your time wisely with social tools like
Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn?

Imagine sharing your expertise without spam, autobots or faking it.

Do you want to be true to yourself, your brand and your vision and engage friends, fans and followers online?

Would you like to have word-of-mouth evangelists singing the praises of your product or service online?

Let me teach you my 5-step system to make W.A.V.E.S. in social networking.

Dear Friend,

Have you had this experience?

You’ve heard about social media and signed up for everything from Facebook to Quora but your accounts lie dormant.

Does the prospect of writing a blog post, tweet or status update make you break out in a sweat? Do you fumble around trying to figure out what to say and when?

Have you hired a so-called social media guru who’s got you set-up and explained the how to but then left you in the lurch to fend for yourself without an action plan or measurement tools?

Are you tired of not knowing what to measure to assess your social networking efforts? Are you just throwing content onto the web and hoping for the best?

Is it a struggle to get your community to talk to you online? Do you feel like your broadcasting constantly without any dialogue? Would you rather engage in conversation?

Are you losing your mind figuring out the lingo of social media? Do tweeps who tweet make your head spin?

Guess what? You are in exactly the right place to put all of this behind you.

My name is Angela Crocker, and I’m known as the Community Creator. Why? Because I help business owners like you create (mostly) online communities. I love what I do and I can help you, too.

Truth be told, I’ve had the pleasure of working with hundreds of business owners to help them embrace, understand and execute social networking. They’ve had great success and so can you!

I began during my university days at SFU where I studied Communications, Liberal Arts and Publishing before graduating with Honours in 1995. In the School of Communication, we had email back in 1994. Imagine!

My love of tech gadgets began early and I saw the value in shared digital experiences.

I moved quickly from transistor radios to a Walkman and then a Discman. Remember those? I was blessed to grow up in a house with a personal computer. I’d used the Texas Instruments 994/A, Vic 20, Commodore 64, and a Tandy PC all before 1990.

Next came twelve fabulous years in the book business. I worked in retail, advocacy and publishing companies. No matter whether I was doing merchandising, publicity or marketing plans, the core of my job was to build communities for the authors I worked with. My roster included international superstars like Gordon Ramsay and Donna Hay as well as Canadian favourites like Karen Barnaby and Dianna Bonder. I even got to work with a witch – the amazingly intuitive Titania Hardie! My team and I were honoured nationally as winners of the 1999 Award for Promotional Excellence.

Somewhere along the line I moved into mobile digital work tools. Meeting my husband was a delight because he shared his Palm Pilot with me, except our version still said US Robotics. After a decade long love affair with Palm’s hand held devices, I embraced the iPhone and a whole new level of community opened before my eyes.

I wrote my first “web diary” from 1998 to 2006 starting long before the modern term “blog” was born. I joined Facebook back in 2006 and have watched it change and evolve from a simple sharing directory to the complex marketing tool it is today. As a result, I understand how to tell stories and share.

From there I went on to work in the not-for-profit sector, taking leadership roles at the Playhouse Theatre Company and the Minerva Foundation for BC Women to help them reach out to the community to raise millions of dollars in financial and in-kind support. Working with brands like Bell, Accenture and TD Securities, I gained an intimate understanding of the underpinnings of community and how people and corporations are motivated to take action for causes that speak to their hearts.

Eventually, all of this marketing, fundraising and technology experience and learning led me to launch Beachcomber Communications at a time when nobody was assuming social media was a default part of marketing plans. Just one year after the launch, my company was a finalist for Entrepreneur of the Year.

My story doesn’t end there. Earlier this year, Penguin Group (USA) published my first book The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Creating a Social Network. It’s filled with information on how to create an online community from the big picture strategic planning to the technical how-to’s and keeps you moving forward with things like the art of conversation and content sharing. Readers in Canada, Australia, United Kingdom, India and the United States are learning from me. You can too.

I don’t share all this to boast about my accomplishments and experiences, but I want you to know that I bring education and experience to my teaching that many other social media trainers can’t offer.

Social networking is not just how to use social media tools like Facebook or Twitter.

Rather it’s an integral part of your overall marketing plan and key to your business’ success today. I will share my know-how with you to enhance your marketing efforts by building your online community to enhance your offline world.

To do that, I’ve created a brand-new program to get you started in social networking.

Here’s just a SAMPLING of what you’ll discover when you dig into my W.A.V.E.S. system:

1: Where do I begin

Together, we’ll walk through all the things you need to consider before you sign up. Don’t leap into the social media realm because everyone says you should. Sign up with purpose and a plan. We’ll clarify your objectives and explore all the things that must be done before you get social.

2: Action, Take Action

There are some essential foundations for your social networking success starting with your homebase and your social outposts. Together we’ll pick the tools that are right for you and talk about some basic how-tos for Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and other social media tools.

3: Visibility, Variety & Value

Next, you need to figure out what to share. Let me help you learn what to say, how much time to spend and how often you should listen and share. We’ll also cover strategies to fuel your content engine.

“The recommendations section will help
get us moving forward.”

This [social media strategy report] is great to refresh my mind about all that we talked about and learned from you. Now I see that we are really just beginning… and to tackle even one little thing at a time in the recommendations section will help get us moving forward.

- Diana Clark, Artistic Director, Coastal Sound Music

4: Everyone in your Community

Let’s talk about who you should connect with and how do you invite them to be friends, fans or followers. We’ll consider quality versus quantity and look at targeted ways to invite your target market into the conversation.

5: Social Sanity Savers

It’s ok to make mistakes but let me give you the know-how to avoid many of the common errors. We’ll also talk about the importance of common sense, authenticity and safety so that you can engage your community with confidence and a minimum of headaches.

Throughout the program, you’ll see exactly how I do it from the tools I use to the ways I manage the influx of messages. It’s not going to be long before you’re making waves.

Whether you’re brand new to social media or have some experience already, you’ll take your social networking efforts to the next level with more engaging content that draws an audience – your target audience.

So now you may be wondering,

“Angela, how EXACTLY are you
going to teach me to…

Prepare to start creating a social network

Get me started with social media tools

Teach me what content to share and when

Attract community members

Keep my sanity and avoid common errors

… so that I can get comfortable
with social media tools and reap
the benefits of social networking?”

Fair question!

Here’s my answer…

I’ve designed this training to go much deeper than an introductory lunch seminar or one of those “quickie guides” you can buy online. I love the enthusiasm these products can generate but I want you to have great success with your social networking. That doesn’t come in a single seminar and I want to give you a structure that will provide you with an ongoing blue print to shine online.

I’m going to be working with you for ten weeks. I’ll provide resources and assignments to keep your plans moving forward and helping you map out your social media marketing strategy and a specific Visibility Action Plan. I’ll be on the calls with you, providing concrete content, answering questions and sharing resources you need.

By investing in my W.A.V.E.S. program, you’ll be investing in your business in a way that will pay dividends for years to come. You know the cost of acquiring a new customer and the value of retaining a repeat customer. Social networking gives you another way to stay in touch without being salesy.

Let me walk you through the specifics of how we’ll be working together:

You’ll be provided with access to our online learning resource page which includes the training modules and assignments for each week of the program.

You’ll be added to our closed Facebook group for W.A.V.E.S. attendees only so that you can begin networking with fellow participants, ask questions and keep in touch with me between calls.

Each week you’ll have homework to do. You’ll need to review the workbook module for related information and go through the worksheets and assignments. Then you’ll join me for a 75-minute call every second week where I’ll go over the content, answer questions and provide coaching and more.

The catch is you’ll need to do the pre-work to get the most out of the calls. We’re working together to move you forward – you’ve got to do your part to get the most out of the program.

We have 5 calls scheduled through May and June. Here’s the schedule to put in your calendar right now.

Don’t fret if you have to miss a call. Each call will be recorded and posted on the forum for you to replay at your convenience.

Plus, I’m going to provide you with these

Beachcomber Extras

to jump start your success!

1) Action Visibility Plan Template

Keeping your social networking on track requires a detailed plan. With my Visibility Action Plan, you’ll have a framework to model for your own social media activities.

2) Social Media “Must Have” Tools Directory

You already know the big names social media accounts you have to have on Facebook, LinkedIn and others but what do you really need amongst the thousands of tools available. I’ll give you my must have list of useful online tools and a few mobile tech gadgets that’ll narrow down and prioritize the options for you.

3) Social Media Budget Planner

For the most part, social media costs you time not money. However, I’ve found an assortment of tools that make your online social life easier to manage and provide you with useful data to monitor your activities. Let me show you exactly what I spend and why so you can budget the right amount of cash.

4) My Social Networking Resource Index

Social networking is a new and vast field with experts popping up in all sorts of niche areas. I will share with you my top “go to” resources to keep in touch with industry trends and changes.

5) Recordings of All 5 Calls

We’ll cover a lot of material in each 75 minute call and want you to have access to a recording so that you can revisit the training anytime you need a refresher.

Sound good? I think so too! And guess what….I’ve got one more treat for you.

Now you know what I’m offering you’re probably wondering, “What’s this going to cost me?”

I gotta tell you, I’m a frugal business person. I invest in my company carefully and always try for the biggest bang for my buck. I’m sure you do to.

Hopefully, I don’t have to explain why this series is easily worth $397 (which is the regular price of this course.) As this is the premier launch of this program, I’m offering you the whole thing for the introductory price of just $219.

I could compare the cost to 55 Starbucks latte’s or a really nice new patio lounger but you’re probably already doing the math in your head. By investing in your company at this level, you can reap the benefits of social networking.

Social Media Examiner recently released the top benefits of social networking in their 2011 study. Here they are:

Generate exposure for your brand and make it stand out to be heard.

• Increase traffic to your site including blog readers, website visitors and opt-in subscribers.
• Improved search rankings to bring your brand to the forefront in your area of specialty.
• Make new business partnerships from connections made and relationships built through social networking.
• Generate qualified leads for your business.
• Reduce overall marketing expenses as your social media efforts gain traction you are likely to spend less on other forms of marketing and promotion.
• Improve sales as connections become prospects and then customers with a better sense of your overall product or service listing and, more importantly, your style.
