Have you taken a social media course at your local chamber, networking group, business association or other group and left more confused than when you started? I know what it’s like to try to absorb all that new information, only to forget it by the time you get back to the office. Let me help you get set up on Facebook!

I’ll be holding a “hands on” webinar for Facebook on Wednesday, January 6, 2010, 10am to 12pm Pacific Time/1pm to 3pm Eastern Time.

This is a webinar designed to help you work through your profile and actually handle the tasks you want to learn more about, which is why I’ve placed a limit on attendees.  I use a desktop sharing tool so you can get the help you need to fix your Facebook profile during the webinar.

We’ll be:

• Setting Up Your Profile
• Your Privacy Settings
• Status Updates
• Creating Events
• Creating Photo Albums
• Uploading Pictures
• Video
• Finding, and Accepting Friends
• Joining Groups
• Facebook Strategies

Thomas Mangum, Virtual Coffee, interviewed me today for his online radio show.

Thomas Mangum, Virtual Coffee Interviews Debra Simpson, Syndicating Your Content [ 30:06 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (234)

We discussed why you’d want to syndicate your content and some of the ways to develop your own intellectual property to sell online, as passive income.

Of course, I discussed blogging, in particular using WordPress as a launching point. I then shared about importing your blog into Facebook and Linkedin. I shared some tips on creating your first ebook to give away from your website as a list building tool.

Let me know what you think about the interview by commenting.

I recently interviewed Ken Foster, author of Ask and You Will Succeed about the book and how he used social media to market the book, taking it to number one in six business categories at Amazon.

He shared the premise of the book and the 1001 Questions you can ask to discover your passions, what’s holding you back and start creating your successes.

We also discussed the publishing process, from self published to being picked up by a publishing house, as well as his use of Facebook, Twitter, affiliates and connections to set up a marketing strategy for the book launch.

I hope you enjoy the interview as much as I did. Please let me know what you think by commenting on the post.

Social Networking has become the buzz word in the small business community. Now is a great time to build your sphere of influence online. Facebook is one of the most active social networking sites for solopreneurs.

When it comes to syndicating your content, your blog and Facebook (along with Twitter) play very well together. Your blog gives you the RSS feed that’s so important to sharing your blog posts with the world. By importing your blog into Facebook, you can share your blog content with all your friends at Facebook.

Programmed correctly, you can also alert your tweeples at Twitter, but that’s another webinar.

On Monday, February 9th at 3pm PT, you can learn how to incorporate Facebook into your online marketing and branding strategy.

• What to include
• What not to include
• Looking for current friends

• Creating Lists
• Creating Events
• How do you decide which Friend Requests to accept
• Updating Status Strategies

As I use Facebook more and more, I’m seeing the opportunities to syndicate (share) blog content. One of the first things you should do when establishing your Facebook profile is import your blog into your Facebook Notes. Now, when you post to your blog, it will automatically show up on your Facebook profile. Here’s the How To Import Your Blog Into Facebook Video!
