Social Media Marketing Slide Show

Here is the Social Media Marketing, Web 2.0 Marketing, & Email Best Practices PowerPoint slide show presented by Eric Jones, Al Weinhold, and Rick Laforet to the Northern California PGA Section on October 12, 2009.  The seminar was video-taped, and the video presentation will also be available on this site shortly.

Please feel free share this info with your fellow PGA pros!

The feedback we received from the Pros who attended was fantastic! We really appreciate it. We’d like to do a follow-on seminar that will get into the nitty-gritty, get-your-hands-dirty, how-do-we-actually-do-this, applied part of social media and web 2.0. Let us know if that would be something of interest to you and your fellow NorCal PGA members.

But perhaps more importantly, we’ve already heard stories of Pros who have TAKEN ACTION to implement some of the ideas. That’s awesome!

Please post your experiences of implementing some of the concepts here as a way to share best practices with other PGA Pros.

Produce Instant Golf Videos with a Flip Camera

Here is a quick video showing the Flip Camera I use to capture spot videos and instantly upload them to the web.

The Flip video camera is small, easy to use, and web-friendly.  In the video you can see that the Flip is about the size of my cell phone, so it is easy to tote around.

The controls are super simple. Basically an on/off switch, a single red button that is used to start and stop recording, a few simple playback controls, and a very handy, built-in USB connector. You can shoot a video, plug the camera into your computer’s USB port, upload the video to a site like YouTube, and then pull it back down to your blog post just like this!

Viola!

I recommend you pick up your own Flip camera and use it to shoot current events, golfer testimonials, course shots, and any thing else live and current that would be of interest to your readers.

Look for another post that details the instructions for how to upload the video to YouTube and then pull it back down to a blog post just as was done in this post.  Then look for another post detailing how to capture a snapshot from your video, paste it into an email, attach a link, and then drive traffic to your post.
