LinkedIn Events are totally underutilized (that’s a nice $2 word for ya). In the Social Media world, LinkedIn does not get the love it deserves and LinkedIn Events are no exception. If you run events, you want to start using this tool.
Now, it’s most effective if you build up your LinkedIn connections so that you can invite your connections to your event. But your event can also be found by new people that you may not be connected to. Creating an event only takes a moment, you can browse to see what other events are happening in your area, and your event will show up there also.
Events can run a little viral because other people will see that a LinkedIn connection is attending your event when they RSVP. We’re all about viral, baby. So I highly encourage you to use LinkedIn Events.
On Wednesday I went to the 1-year Anniversary celebration of Conscious360’s Networking group. This group was started by Cory Michelle Johnson as a way to bring Socially Conscious, Eco-friendly, and Spiritually Aware business owners together to network. It was fantastic! There were over 100 people there which is a fairly typical crowd for those events. So how did Cory do it? How did she grow this event so quickly? She used Social Media. Find out more in our interview.
She’s been using Facebook Events, Fan Pages as well as her own Facebook User account to grow the Denver networking group. They are expanding into Boulder and are looking to add Conscious360 events in other parts of the country. She has a big vision and is using Social Media to grow it. Take a look at their Fan Page here Facebook Conscious360. Make sure you follow Cory on Twitter: http://twitter.com/corymichelle

Here’s how to update your Twitter Status directly from your Facebook Fan Page status updates. Bad news, there is no way to easily update Twitter from Facebook user accounts.

If you don’t know the Fabulous Sandy Grason then you don’t know what Mojo you are missing! She is fantastic! But more importantly she is using Social Media right.
