You've decided that a Facebook Fan Page is the right social networking channel for your business. Maybe you've already created a Fan Page and you're posting content once a day (good for you!). But you're probably thinking "There's GOT to be more possibilities than just posting status updates—what am I overlooking?"

A fancy page does NOT equal a successful page. This seminar will help you get started—and show you iteractive Fan Page tactics that can improve your Facebook marketing using input from existing fans.

Presenter

Jeff Widman is a marketing wunderkind who helps companies use Facebook to build brands and sell products, primarily through Fan pages. He initially started marketing through Facebook as a sophomore in college—back when only college students could use Facebook.

Jeff believes Facebook is a tool that effectively complements common online channels like SEO, SEM and e-mail marketing. He emphasizes blending story-driven branding with metrics-driven analysis to effectively convert exposure on Facebook into real revenue opportunities.

Jeff's recent efforts quadrupled traffic from Facebook to Mint.com. Other clients include Seth Godin, Microsoft, Kiva.org, SlideShare, and David Allen (author of Getting Things Done). He's been quoted as a Facebook expert by InsideFacebook, AOL Small Business, and Slate.com, and he's written for TechCrunch, VentureBeat, and Techmeme.
