Facebook Success Summit 2010: The Web's Largest Online Facebook
Marketing Conference
DEAR FELLOW MARKETER;
Are you using Facebook but not getting the results you hoped for?
Could you use some guidance and fresh ideas?
Yes, the allure of Facebook is strong: Direct connections with
customers (and prospects) who were previously unreachable.
This means greater exposure and more business opportunities--all
without the enormous costs of traditional marketing.
And given this economy, who doesn't want more business!
But if you're like me, you're looking to choose your Facebook
activities wisely, without becoming consumed by all the options. You
simply want to know what works best.
Social Media Examiner is happy to announce an online event designed to
help marketers and business owners quickly achieve Facebook
success--Facebook Success Summit 2010.
TWENTY-TWO OF THE WORLD'S MOST RESPECTED FACEBOOK EXPERTS HAVE COME
TOGETHER TO SHARE THEIR STRATEGIES (see the great lineup in the box to
the right). THEY'LL REVEAL ALL THE LATEST TECHNIQUES AND PROVEN
BUSINESS-BUILDING TACTICS YOU NEED TO KNOW TO IMMEDIATELY BENEFIT WITH
FACEBOOK.
If you (like so many) find yourself confused by all that Facebook has
to offer, now's your chance to achieve Facebook marketing success.
This _FULLY_ ONLINE CONFERENCE STARTS TUESDAY, OCTOBER 5, AND RUNS
THROUGH OCTOBER 26.
It's comfortably spread over many weeks (and recorded for later
playback) to accommodate your schedule.
Consider this: 95% OF ATTENDEES AT OUR LAST TWO EVENTS SAID THEY'D
RECOMMEND IT TO A FRIEND _AND_ ATTEND AGAIN (see their testimonials
below). Now we have an _all-new_ slate of dynamic sessions fully
focused on Facebook marketing.
Be sure to SECURE YOUR SPOT IN THE ONLY ONLINE PROFESSIONAL
DEVELOPMENT CONFERENCE FOR BUSINESSES SEEKING TO MASTER FACEBOOK

Here's to a bright future together!
Michael A. Stelzner
Founder, Social Media Examiner

P.S. In case you're wondering, Facebook marketing involves connecting
with customers and prospects via Facebook's active 500 million-member
community. The result: you'll increase exposure, improve customer
satisfaction, build strong brand advocates and achieve sales growth.
P.P.S. Can I be blunt? Studies show that consumers prefer to work
with businesses that have a strong social media presence. It's not too
late to get your business engaged with customers (and prospects) via
Facebook. But IF YOU WAIT, YOU'LL BE GIVING YOUR COMPETITORS A
SIGNIFICANT ADVANTAGE THAT'LL BE HARD TO OVERCOME.
P.P.P.S. You don't need to do this alone. If you like the thought of
joining a welcoming community of like-minded peers (2500 PEOPLE

Proof That Facebook Means Business
In this video, Michael Stelzner explains why Facebook is essential
for all businesses.
Yes, you've heard about Facebook. But did you know Facebook is the
second most trafficked website in the world, just behind Google
(according to Alexa)?
Facebook has fully permeated popular culture across the planet. But
THIS IS NOT SOME FLASH-IN-THE-PAN PHENOMENON--AND IT'S NOT JUST FOR
KIDS.
Consider these interesting factoids:
* NEARLY HALF OF FACEBOOK USERS OVER AGE 35: A significant 48% of
Facebook users are over age 35 (iStrategyLabs), putting to rest the
idea that Facebook is just for college kids.
* FACEBOOK MARKETING ON THE RISE: More than 75% of marketers plan on
increasing their use of Facebook in 2010, according to the _2010
Social Media Marketing Industry Report_. There are more than 3 million
active Facebook business pages.
* MASS CONSUMER ADOPTION OF FACEBOOK: 141 million unique U.S.
visitors trafficked Facebook in June 2010, up 11 million from the
prior month and nearly double from a year ago (ComScore). With more
than 500 million users, Facebook reports that more than half use the
site daily.
* FACEBOOK USERS SPEND MORE MONEY: People who spend the most time on
Facebook also spend the most money online, according to ComScore.
* SMALL BUSINESSES ARE DOMINANT PLAYERS: Small businesses are cashing
in quickly on social media and Facebook. Surprisingly, half of small
businesses using social media say lead generation is its top benefit
(_Small Business Marketing Forecast 2010_).
And these recent statistics are just a small sample of the power of
Facebook.
So the big question is: WHAT DO EXPERIENCED MARKETERS AND BUSINESS
OWNERS _KNOW_ AND _DO_ WITH FACEBOOK THAT MAKES THEM SO SUCCESSFUL?
If you knew that--IF YOU KNEW STEP-BY-STEP HOW THE PROS CREATE AND
EXECUTE FACEBOOK PAGES AND CAMPAIGNS TO ATTRACT HIGH-QUALITY CUSTOMERS
AND ACHIEVE SUCCESS--YOU COULD SIMPLY DUPLICATE WHAT THEY DO and
achieve similar results.
THAT'S WHAT FACEBOOK SUCCESS SUMMIT 2010 IS ALL ABOUT. We've brought
together the world's most successful Facebook practitioners and asked
them to reveal their success secrets to YOU. And it's all live!
AND THE BEST PART? YOU _DON'T_ HAVE TO SPEND A SMALL FORTUNE ON
TRAVEL, MEALS OR A HOTEL TO ATTEND. The conference is _completely
online_. You "attend" from the comfort of your own home or office,
using your computer to _watch, listen and participate in_ the
presentations and networking.
However, like any conference, there's a limit to how many people can
fit in the "room." So if you're interested in connecting with valuable
customers and prospects, enhancing your image in your industry and
improving sales, secure your spot at this conference today.
Is the Facebook Success Summit 2010 a Fit for You?
First, YOU _DON'T_ NEED TO BE A TECHNO-GEEK OR TWENTY-SOMETHING TO
USE AND BENEFIT FROM FACEBOOK MARKETING. You might be surprised to
learn that most social media marketers are aged 30 to 60 and have only
been using social media for just a few months.
If you find yourself in one of the categories below, the FACEBOOK
SUCCESS SUMMIT 2010 _IS_ a fit for you:
* THE SMALL BUSINESS OWNER: You're just getting underway with
Facebook--likely a consultant, coach, local business owner, writer,
blogger, artist or general "gun for hire"--and see the potential of
Facebook marketing, but want to speed your path to success with the
least effort and the greatest return.
* THE CORPORATE MARKETER: You work for a corporation and have been
tasked to manage the company's Facebook initiative. You likely face
internal battles to convey how Facebook could help the company, but
you know there's real potential.
* THE EXPERIENCED SOCIAL MEDIA USER: You've been using Facebook for a
while, but want better results. You're ready to take your business to
a whole new level by following the proven tactics of the pros and
leveraging new techniques. Better response. Less work. More
profitability.
If you find yourself in any of the above categories, Facebook Success
Summit 2010 is an event you don't want to miss.
How It Works
Studies frequently show people who attend such professional
development events are more successful, reach their business goals
faster, enjoy their work more, build better relationships and earn a
higher income!
1. THOUGH THIS SUMMIT WILL TAKE PLACE ONLINE, IT WILL BE A LIVE
EVENT.
The INSTRUCTORS WILL BE PRESENTING THEIR SESSIONS LIVE IN REAL TIME,
RIGHT ON YOUR COMPUTER SCREEN. You can listen and watch their
presentations, and speak directly to the experts, asking questions and
getting instant answers.
When you register, you'll be given a link and access information for
each session. When the date and time arrive, you simply pull up your
web browser, go to a web page, type in your log-in information and,
voil, you're "there." It's the virtual equivalent of walking into a
room at a live conference and sitting down!
2. You can interact live with the presenters.
That means YOU CAN ACTUALLY SPEAK WITH THE SOCIAL MEDIA SUPERSTARS.
During each session, you'll hear and see the lessons (so be sure to
turn on your computer speakers!). The virtual room also offers
interactive capabilities beyond what is possible at live conferences.
You can participate in instant polls and download presentation slide
decks to print out for note-taking.
Just like regular conferences, most sessions last about an hour, and
will offer an opportunity for live questions and answers.
IF YOU WANT TO ASK A PRESENTER A QUESTION, WE'LL PROVIDE A TOLL-FREE
NUMBER YOU CAN DIAL. A real operator brings you on the line (LIKE A
RADIO TALK SHOW) and you speak directly to the experts!
We also provide a private forum where you can interact with
presenters and fellow attendees. YOU ALSO GET A DOWNLOADABLE VIDEO
RECORDING OF EACH SESSION AND TRANSCRIPTS.
3. Of course, networking is a big part of this event...
Many people who attend our professional development summits report
the relationships they establish with fellow attendees are priceless
relationships that often continue to be a source of advice and support
for years to come.
BETWEEN SESSIONS, YOU CAN NETWORK WITH OTHER SUMMIT ATTENDEES ON THE
EXCLUSIVE FACEBOOK SUCCESS SUMMIT 2010 FORUM--available ONLY to event
registrants (at one of our prior events, more than 1200 messages were
generated in our private event forum).
You also get access to our PRIVATE LINKEDIN GROUP (our last event had
1500 people networking in our LinkedIn group), and access to
TWITTER-BASED CHAT ROOMS where you can interact live with your peers.
WE'LL PROVIDE A CERTIFICATE OF ACHIEVEMENT for attendees who
successfully complete the summit.
THIS EVENT WAS DESIGNED BY MARKETERS FOR MARKETERS. That means we
built it to accommodate your busy schedule. We've SPREAD THE SUMMIT
OUT OVER 4 WEEKS, with multiple sessions each week.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO STOP WORKING TO ATTEND (AND you can begin applying
what you'll discover immediately). The AUDIO AND VIDEO FROM EACH
SESSION ARE RECORDED, AND TRANSCRIPTS ARE INCLUDED for further study.
"Attend" Any or ALL of the Following Sessions
At traditional summits and conferences, groups of sessions are often
held at the same time, so it's impossible to attend them all.
Not this summit.
When you register, you'll be able to take advantage of EVERY
business-building opportunity. Even better, after the summit you can
download a video recording of each and every session. IF YOU MISS A
LIVE SESSION, WE'LL PROVIDE YOU A RECORDING AND TRANSCRIPT for FREE.

ATTENDEE FEEDBACK
AN INCREDIBLE 95% OF ATTENDEES AT OUR TWO PREVIOUS SUMMITS SAID
THEY'D ATTEND AGAIN. Here's what some of them had to say:
_"I LEARNED MORE IN THE FIRST TWO SESSIONS OF THIS SUMMIT THAN I HAVE
IN MOST MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE CONFERENCES. And the learning
continues.... thank you." _Amy Parmenter
"Since this was my first social media summit, I had no preconceived
expectations... These EXPERTS PROVIDED GREAT CONTENT AND VALUABLE
SOLUTIONS FOR SOCIAL MEDIA SUCCESS IN BUSINESS. They shared
strategies, tactics, tips, and insights! I would say... don't miss the
next one." Leslie Montgomery
"THE CONVENIENCE OF AT-YOUR-DESK PARTICIPATION AND THE RANGE OF
SPEAKERS WAS TERRIFIC." Bill Weber
"AT FIRST I WASN'T SURE ABOUT A CONFERENCE HELD EXCLUSIVELY
ONLINE--but with budgets tight and the lineup of speakers it seemed
perfect. Social Media Success Summit DELIVERED. The networking
opportunities and high caliber of speakers WERE AWESOME. Mike and his
team know how to put on a conference--I am so impressed!" Alyssa Webb
"IT WAS AN EXCELLENT INVESTMENT OF MY TIME AND MONEY. The speakers
were very generous with their knowledge and shared more strategies and
resources than I'll ever have time to implement." Janet Barclay
"The caliber of the speakers was extremely high--THE CONTENT WAS
ALMOST ENTIRELY USEFUL AND INFORMATIVE." Judy Holm
"IT WAS THE ONLY WAY I COULD HAVE AFFORDED THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN
FROM SO MANY PEOPLE. It gave me a lot of knowledge and courage to move
forward." Maggie Zerkus

the Social Media Success Summit. THIS SUMMIT HAS LITERALLY BEEN
LIFE-CHANGING FOR ME. I highly recommend it!" Jennifer Morton

all the folks behind the scenes. It was superbly orchestrated,
user-friendly and informative fAR BEYOND WHAT I HAD IMAGINED." Amy

HESITANT BECAUSE FUNDS ARE VERY LIMITED AND I'VE NEVER DONE ANYTHING
LIKE THIS BEFORE. Thank you." Laura Wagner
"Excellent speakers and content. I love the fact that I can convert
the session recordings to a movie file and put them on my iPhone."
Mark
"I FIND THE TRANSCRIPTS EXTREMELY USEFUL. I don't have the ability to
really listen live here at work." Greg McDonald
"Frankly, the ability to be in my shorts and T-shirt and in a
learning mode behind my computer is much more valuable to me than
getting on an airplane, checking into a hotel, and sitting in a
conference room." Mike Ungerman
"I THINK THE SUMMIT WAS WORTH EVERY PENNY. Every speaker was very
good." Maggie Zerkus
"Just wanted to let you know your Social Media Summit has been
absolutely excellent!! Thanks for the great work." Greg Palmer
