BYOBB (Brown Bag) & Learn Teleseminar:
Writing for Social Media

How to Make Your Tweets, Blog Postings and Nanocontent More Relevant, Valuable and Interesting

Wondering why your tweets about your cat’s latest trick aren’t making head waves? Join OC/PRSA's YoPro Committee for the latest Lunch and Learn Teleseminar: Writing for Social Media! Pack your brown bag lunch and join industry professionals as we learn how to:

• Draw people in with nanocontent: Convince blog visitors to click — in 11 characters or less.
• Tweak your texts and tweets: Get your message across in 140 characters.
• Make your posts personable: There's a reason they call it “social” media.
• Pitch a blogger: Before you press "send" again, find out what makes bloggers tick — and what ticks them off.
• Be a blogger: Make your corporate or professional blog more relevant, interesting and personable.
