Almost Internet Famous: Building your brand with social media, hosted by Etsy

Almostinternetfamous

From Etsy:

On Thursday, October 27, Etsy is pleased to present a two-part evening (both in-person and via Etsy’s Online Labs) that melds social media and education. We’ll first hear from comedianEugene Mirman, who uses online tools to build his personal brand and grow his audience. From a successful Kickstarter campaign to raise money for his comedy festival to his large (and growing) Twitter audience, we’ll learn some of his tips and strategies for success.

Next we’ll switch tactics and discuss the day-to-day aspects of building a brand through social media in a panel format. The panel will cover topics like, how can a small business owner, freelancer, brand or creative entrepreneur use social media to connect with customers, clients and fans effectively? What tools can we use to streamline our efforts? And why should we even be honing these skills? Are these connections real? How can we measure their impact on our business, brands and lives?
