Presented by Jeff Fisher

Facebook, Twitter, blogging ... they all seem like ways to kill time online. But savvy creative professionals are using these free social media tools to build their networks, reach out to new clients and grow their businesses. Design pro and social media master Jeff Fisher will sort through all the options and teach you how to use these FREE promotional activities.

You'll learn how to:

• Position your design services as a product on social networking sites.
• Drive traffic to your website and blog through online social interaction.
• Create a valuable social network of peers, vendors and potential clients.
• Take advantage of social networking/media resources that translate into business, rather than socializing.
• Toot your own horn (tactfully) through social media.
