Cross The Digital Divide, Syndicating Your Content on Facebook

August 5th, 2008 by Debra Simpson

Debra M Simpson's Facebook Profile

Cross The Digital Divide on Friday, August 8th at 3pm Pacific time when we’ll spend 30 minutes discovering how to syndicate our content in Facebook.

If you have a blog, you have the heartbeat to sharing your message with the world, in my humble opinion. Now, add a Facebook page and you have the beginnings of a megaphone on the Internet.

In this 30 minutes you’ll discover how to:

  • Post to your blog once and share it several places
  • Share your photos and videos
  • Use widgets to keep your website or blog visitors "in the know"
  • and maybe a few more tidbits….

So, sign up to Cross The Digital Divide with me on Friday, kick your shoes off, grab a beverage of your choice and learn how to spread your passionate message across the Internet.

Cross The Digital Divide with Debra SimpsonJoin me today, in my online classroom and learn about Social Networking.

I know you’ve probably been hearing a bit, or a lot, about Social Networking. Some of the more well known social networking sites are Facebook, YouTube, Flickr and now new tools are coming online. Microblogging tools like Twitter, Plurk and sites where you can create your own social networks, like Ping.

Whoa, a lot of new words, right?  I know.  It can be overwhelming.  As most of you know, I spend pretty much all day on the Internet. Social networking has become an integral part of my overall marketing strategy.

I’m inviting you to Cross The Digital Divide with me this afternoon at 3pm Pacific / 6pm Eastern to chat in my online classroom  about Social Networking.

This is the time to get some of the answers to your questions about what Social Networking is and how you might use it to promote your business online.

I’ve invited my Facebook, Twitter and Plurk buddies too. So, grab a beverage of your choice, put your feet up, and join the conversation.  Cross the digital divide……

I look forward to sharing with you, and answering your questions about how you can promote your business online.
