Do you have time for another webinar on Social Media?  Then Social Media Magic offer, for that crucial limited time only, a free webinar on Social Media marketing.  The webinar is primarily a vehicle for introducing Social Media Magic’s outsourced “strategic, comprehensive social media solutions”, but it does include some relevant advise and strategies, including details on its on-line learning offering.

Essentially, the argument goes that you should expect managing your Social Media profile will take, at the end of your first 12 months, in excess of 32 hours/month.  This leaves you with, so Social Media Magic claim, a number of alternatives.  Do it yourself, employ somebody to do it for you (with all the inherent risks of them not truly representing your voice), or outsource the task to Social Media Magic …

What caught my interests in their webinar are the Social Media tools covered, and the associated experts selected to present their on-line “University Style” course.  This, paid for, course is formed of eight sessions over four weeks.  Each session focuses on a specific Social Media tool, and is presented by an respected expert in that area – there’s also a live Q&A component with the expert at the end of each session.

The Social Media tools covered, and experts are:

• Blogs – Denise Wakeman
• Twitter – Warren Whitlock , and Joel Comm
• Facebook – Clara Shih
• LinkedIn – Jason Alba, and Chip Lambert
• Niche sites – Charles Fellingham (founder of QAlias)
• Video/Youtube – Lou Bortone

So that’s your 8 hours on your profile for this week …
