Twitter: A Crash Course - Looking for interest, feedback

[Gerry Kirk]

Hi,

Last January, I gave a presentation on how I used social media and online tools for the vote swap / vote reform campaign during the last federal election, which was well received. A number of people have expressed interest in learning more about Twitter, a tool I use on a daily basis, more than any other.

I've put together a course outline, and would like to know

1. are you interested in taking the course
2. would you add / remove anything in the course outline
3. can you attend during weekday, weeknight or weekend?
4. does $50 seem like a reasonable price?

Here are the details. Thanks for taking the time to check it out and get back to me. I've never organized a public training session before, though I have done numerous training sessions for clients.

Very timely. I am on the business social network LinkedIn. I have been asked to do a blog for work and I follow a couple and now there is Twitter. I created an account, found a couple colleagues and that is where it ended. I do not get it, it seems like a colossal waste of time. So if you can demonstrate to me how twitter can result in new relationships, increased chance for revenue, 50 is worth it. Gil

Gil,

Your experience is typical, and what I experienced also at the start. There is definitely a hump one has to get over before Twitter starts to pay off. The goal of the course is to fast-track the effort to get there and start reaping benefits.

I think you'll be pleased with your investment. ;)

Hi Gerry

Yes I am interested and I am fine with $50.

My preferences are, weeknights. I am on Twitter, created an account , etc. What I want to get out of the course is the next step. There is a particular business community I want to reach out to and be connected with including peers, mentors and potential clients. Perhaps include in the agenda a use case or scenario where you accomplish those things. 

Thanks

Gil
