Sunday April 8, 2012

Hello Everyone!
I hope each of you has enjoyed the weekend! Class WILL BE held this Tuesday, April 10th 2012. Erin Janda Rawlings will be teaching class for me while I'm away on business. She is a professional mommy blogger (also known as lifestyle blogger). Here's a link to her blog: http://mommyonthespot.blogspot.com/

During Tuesday's class, you will touch on the power of blogging, you will analyze different blogs and look for what is good/bad about certain layouts and features, discuss how to increase your blog traffic and subscribers, and how to write a compelling and engaging blog post. After the lecture, you will head down to the computer lab to learn how to set up your blog, add widgets into the blog, and how to set up a Twitter account.

If after class, you're still struggling setting up your blog or twitter account, please feel free to reach out to me on my cell phone. Leave a message if I don't answer and I will do my best to get back to you in the evening during my travels. I return home Sunday April 15th, 2012.

Lastly, once you have your blog URL and Twitter handle created, please email both of those over to me in ONE email with the subject line:  FIRST NAME_LAST NAME - Blog & Twitter.

Thanks again! I'm looking forward to a great semester!

~Lauren :-)

Just a heads up, I forgot to mention that I will be out of the country traveling from March 1-5. I will not have access to email, and probably very limited access to Twitter. I return Monday evening and will see each of you Tuesday! If you have any questions, please reach out before Thursday or ask your team members.

Have a great evening!

~Lauren :-)

WEEK 1 -- Welcome to Social Media Strategy for Business!

Hello Walsh Marketing Students!
My name is Lauren Ziskie, and I will be your instructor this Winter semester. Meet Zoe. She is my English Bulldog puppy who you will be hearing lots about! :-)

Welcome to Social Media Strategy for Business!  The ultimate goal of this course is to be able to show a potential employer that you truly "get" and understand social media, content creation, and how to set goals and measure success.

This is the class blog. You will come here each week to see what's due, check for classroom announcements, and lastly to access links to your classmates' blogs/twitter handles. Please save this blog URL to your favorites.

Thanks! Have a great evening!

~Lauren Ziskie
