From Craig Cannings
Co-Owner, VAClassroom
Date: February 4, 2012
Dear Friend,
Do you realize Social Media has fundamentally changed the way businesses communicate and share information, opening a huge opportunity for your copywriting business?
The movement to Social Media has become no less than a stampede! LinkedIn has grown by 319% since 2009, Facebook has exploded to over 500 million users, adding about 250,000 new users a day, and Twitter has grown by 422% over the last year! Internet advertising is up 21% in spite of the economic downturn.
Businesses see the huge potential for expanding their exposure, building their brand, and increasing their search results through Social Media.
But getting good results from Social Media Marketing takes time and specialized skills, and businesses are looking frantically for the right virtual consultants to help.
| "Sales letters, web sites, information products… Businesses typically buy these one at a time. So as a copywriter, I’m always looking for the next project, the next client. Social media marketing is different. Businesses recognize that it takes consistent effort to build and keep a strong, positive online reputation. Becoming a specialist in social media copywriting has opened the door to “retainer” clients for me—and I’ve found them much more profitable. Thanks VAClassroom!" |

| "The social media marketing class I took a year ago was instrumental in the direction my business took.
When reviewing my business plan with the SBDC, my counselor saw the
note about social media and asked if I could teach it. She marched me
right over to the continuing education department on campus and signed me up to teach classes. That has been the springboard to becoming the expert in my town. I do lunch presentations, CEU training sessions, and sell social media packages. People call me all the time to teach or speak about why and how to use SM as part of their overall marketing plan. So thank you." |

| "I had two consultations this week. Both people had contacted me asking me for help integrating social networking into their current marketing. I was scared because I had only received my certification this week and I wasn't sure of myself. Once I started talking the information flowed as if I had been doing this my whole life. I had learned enough in the Social Marketing class to sound reasonably competent to potential clients. I signed both clients. I have already recouped my initial investment and I know this is just the beginning." |
