reserve and attend the largest online Facebook marketing conference

Facebook Success Summit 2011
Matthew Tommasi

Have you heard the buzz about Facebook Success Summit 2011—the web’s largest online Facebook marketing conference?
Before I tell you how this virtual summit will help your business attract great customers and prospects, gain a unique competitive advantage, and measure your Facebook marketing results, let me share a story with you.

Proof Facebook Marketing WorksAbout a year a half ago Michael Stelzner (founder of Social Media Examiner) started a Facebook page for his blog that targeted marketers and small business owners. He also integrated core Facebook functionality into his website. Almost overnight, a large and loyal community emerged on his Facebook page.
He was skeptical at first. But now he has more than 50,000 active Facebook fans. And Facebook is the number two source of traffic to his website. Facebook was instrumental in generating 1.7 million dollars in sales for his business last year.
Michael’s story is not unique. More than 10,000 websites are integrating Facebook functionality every day! With 770 million active users, Facebook offers an incredible opportunity for marketers.
Your customers (and prospects) are using Facebook every day. It’s a new marketing frontier because Facebook bypasses all the costly middlemen and allows you to engage directly with your customers and prospects!
AND this presents an enormous opportunity for you.
So what’s this all about?
Michael and his team have been working for months to bring the best minds in social media together in a fully online event called Facebook Success Summit 2011.
A significant 2,900 marketers and business owners from around the world attended his last Success Summit. Businesses were transformed. In fact, 96% of attendees said they’d attend again.
This summit’s focus is to empower you to implement successful Facebook marketing tactics, track and measure your Facebook ROI, and see how successful Facebook campaigns were executed. Nineteen of the world’s leading Facebook superstars will be summit instructors.
Presenters include,
 Guy Kawasaki (author, Enchantment)
 Mari Smith (co-author, Facebook Marketing)
 Dave Kerpen (author, Likeable Social Media)
 Paul Dunay (co-author, Facebook Marketing for Dummies)

 This event is ideal for any marketer or business owner focused on business-to-business OR business-to-consumer.

WHERE
 At your home or office! You attend this live event using your computer (no long-distance bill or travel expenses!).
WHEN
 Starting October 5, 2011 (spread over four weeks to improve learning and accommodate your schedule; scroll down for the full schedule). All sessions are recorded and transcribed as well.
WHY
 You’ll be able to quickly implement effective Facebook marketing techniques, attract great customers and prospects and gain a unique competitive advantage. You’ll also discover how to best measure the effectiveness of your Facebook activities and the newest Facebook marketing tactics. This event will ensure your Facebook marketing efforts are achieving their full potential.

Proof That Social Media Means Business
You’re familiar with Facebook. But do you know the impact it’s having on businesses?
Just consider these interesting facts:
 Facebook marketing on the rise: 92% of marketers use Facebook and 75% of marketers plan to increase their use in 2011 (2011 Social Media Marketing Industry Report). Indeed, 44% of North American companies see Facebook as important or critical to their marketing plans (eMarketer).
 Mass consumer adoption of Facebook: There are 770 million active Facebook users across the globe and 31% of Facebook users are on the site multiple times every day (Pew Internet & American Life Project). Social networking accounts for one of every six minutes spent online (ComScore). Your customers are there. These are numbers you just cannot ignore.
 Consumers look to Facebook friends for advice: 24% of consumers consult their Facebook friends before making a purchase (Edison Research).
 Facebook influences consumer behavior: More than one in three consumers say they’re likely to purchase from a company they follow on Facebook (eMarketer). 53% of Facebook users would recommend a brand or company’s product to friends (ROI Research).
And these recent statistics are just a small sampling of the power of Facebook.
So the big question is this: 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 social media campaigns to attract high-quality customers and achieve success—you could simply duplicate what they do and achieve similar results.
That’s what the Facebook Success Summit 2011 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 turbo-boosting your lead generation, enhancing your image in your industry and improving sales, secure your spot today.
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!
Here’s how this event works:
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, voilà, 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 Facebook 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’s 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, sessions last an hour, and will offer an opportunity for live questions and answers.
If you want to ask a presenter a question, there is a toll-free number you can dial. A live operator brings you on the line (like a radio talk show) and you speak directly to the experts!
Also provided is a private LinkedIn group where you can interact with presenters and fellow attendees. You also get a downloadable video recording of each session with transcripts!
Session recordings can be streamed online using a computer, iPhone, iPad or other HTML-5 enabled device—or downloaded to your desktop for playback.
3. Of course, networking is a big part of this event.
Many people who attend the 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 2011 LinkedIn group—available ONLY to event registrants (at the prior event, more than 1600 people networked in the private group).
You also get access to Twitter-based chat rooms where you can interact live with your peers.
You will receive a certificate of achievement for attendees who successfully complete the summit and pass an examination.
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 four 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.
Is the Facebook Success Summit 2011 a Fit for You?
First, you don’t need to be a techno-geek or twenty-something to use and benefit from Facebook. You might be surprised to learn that many social media marketers are aged 30 to 6
If you find yourself in one of the categories below, the Facebook Success Summit 2011 is a fit for you:
The Small Business Owner: You’re looking for a boost—likely a consultant, coach, local business owner, writer, agent, 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 the latest techniques. Better response. Less work. More profitability.
If you find yourself in any of the above categories, Facebook Success Summit 2011 is an event you don’t want to miss.
