April M. Williams, one of our very own contributors to “808Talk Hawaii”, is coming to Honolulu to speak and share with you some insight into how Social Networking can help change your business.
You may wonder, “What’s all the buzz around social media?” “Why are these sites gaining in popularity?” “How can I prevent becoming a commodity in cyberspace?” “How much time does it take?” “Is my information safe?”
Clients are looking for you on social media sites. Are you where your clients can find you? Do you know what they are talking about?
April M. Williams will review the key features of the top social media sites that will benefit your business. This interactive program is designed for those who are new to social media or have limited experience using the features and functions of Web 2.0 tools. Those more experienced are invited to contribute, add to the discussion and share their knowledge.
During this session April M. Williams offers you practical insights on:
- Developing your brand
- How to make your profile stand out from the crowd to get you noticed
- Who should you connect with? Open vs. closed network approach

Everybody is talking about social networking and social networking has issue with information security. So we should know how to use social networking wisely.

Social networking is widely used and a great and powerful tool in terms of business, social or online gatherings and even at politics.
@Amy, I agree with you, with the rising issue of identity theft, being vigilant with the usage of social networking sites really pays.

It was unfortunate that the Hawaii SBDC did so poorly in getting this session coordinated and then at the last minute cancelled the event. April is awesome and many here in Hawaii would have benefited highly from the session had it been a go.

On a closing note, this is definitely not something I would have expected from them (SBDC) and not a representation of the Aloha that our beautiful state possesses.
