Greg and I are out in (usually) sunny California this week for the annual SMX West conference. The whole crew at Third Door Media always puts on an amazing conference and this one looks to be no different so far!

Greg and I will each be speaking on a panel on Day 2′s ‘Social Media Track’. We’re going to bring some secrets and some simple things that you can do to help succeed more in social media marketing – so you won’t want to miss either session!

Greg is up first on at 1:30pm (March 3rd) on this panel:

Free Ways To Market On Facebook:

Your Facebook pages – your wall, groups and fan pages — are a parallel universe to your public web pages. Just as you implement search engine optimization tactics to improve web page rankings, Facebook features many opportunities to enhance your visibility. Viral distribution via Facebook’s social tools is an example, but there are many, many others. Expert SEOs on this panel will share field-proven tactics that reveal how to leverage the power of Facebook.

I hope to see you at BOTH sessions, you’ll be glad you made it.

A couple of other quick notes.

  • If you aren’t able to attend the show this year, I would highly recommend following Lisa Barone’s coverage on Outspoken Media, it’s simply excellent. I usually wind up missing most sessions due to meetings so she even keeps me up to date.
  • As always, mention this post to me and I’ll buy you a drink of your choice ;)

Have a great week!
