Colorado Springs Social Media and Blogging Training

Looking for training or individual coaching on social media, blogging and search engine strategies to promote your company, cause, professional or trade association?

Hi, I’m Laura Benjamin, a Colorado Springs social media trainer, blogger who is self-taught in search engine strategies.

Have you heard that social media and blogging are the latest, greatest new thing and in order to be competitive, it’s something you and your business could use?

Perhaps you’ve heard about social media or blogging, but wonder if it…

  • is just for kids; serious businesspeople really don’t “do” social media
  • will take too much time
  • might be too late to catch this train
  • may be too complicated to learn and use
  • might cost too much money in the long-run
  • can be used with or without a website
  • is a legitimate marketing tool
  • is perceived as professional enough for your industry

Those are all valid concerns, which can be outweighed by the benefits of social media, including…

  • an inexpensive method to market your association, school, event, book, professional service, company, club or cause
  • search engine visibility and higher SEO ranking
  • the ability to strengthen or build your brand and reputation
  • engagement, involvement and and interaction with customers, clients, constituents, consumers or association members
  • a way to capture testimonials, references and referrals
  • market research so you can test ideas or track trends
  • crisis communication or rumor control
  • extend your reach
  • low cost lead generation and a way to pre-qualify prospects

WHAT PEOPLE SAY…

“Your “Clinic at the Cabin” on social media and blogging last Friday was just terrific. I so much enjoyed it … the small group setting, completely informal, made for a comfortable time — and a time to feel confident that the only silly question was the one not asked. Thank you for your patience in helping some of us “get it” who took longer than others! I’m seeing so much potential! Thank you again for helping me to get this glimmer and have the courage to do something with it!” –Debora Hood, President, Communication Specialties, Inc., Business Development Strategies, Canyon City CO, www.StrategyBuilder-LMI.com

“When it comes to understanding, setting up, and explaining blogs, Laura is a dream to work with. Her generosity of spirit comes across with every question answered. Excellent communication makes all the difference—and this communication coach certainly tops them all!” –Barbara McNichol Editorial, www.nonfictionbookeditor.com

“I hired Laura Benjamin to run a webinar on Social Media and Blogging to help our members better understand the benefits, value and “how to’s” of social media. Laura did a fabulous job explaining Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter and the best ways to use these as a business owner. She is extremely knowledgeable and has the ability to “bring it down” to a lay person’s level and share the tools to implement and take action. Her content is timely, well organized and easy to understand. Laura also took the time to research our industry and customize with current examples of what to do and what not to do! Our members learned a lot and enjoyed Laura’s presentation. Thanks again Laura!” –Marguerite Ham, The Leaders Alliance, a National Membership Group of Funeral Home Directors
