Dave Barnhart’s Summary
I am a social media strategy consultant and founder of Business Blogging Pros, LLC. I help small and medium-sized businesses leverage blogging and other social media for marketing and PR.
Blogging levels the playing field for smaller businesses. Done well, a small company can gain a reputation that large organizations with millions to spend on marketing, would be hard pressed to create.
'Done well' starts with a blog, and that blog must be configured properly. This means an RSS feed that can easily be syndicated, links to social bookmarking services, as well as simple things like putting the important sidebar items 'above the fold'. We offer a Getting Started package that makes sure your blog is set up to maximize its potential as a business tool.
'Done Well' also means doing the right things. It starts with understanding who your target market is. We help you define the profile or common characteristics of your buyers and the unique problems they face. Only by doing so can you write a compelling blog that will resonate with your potential clients.
Finally, 'Done Well' means understanding where your buyers hang out on the internet, and participating with them in conversations related to your company and your product or service.
The entire focus of my firm is on making sure that your social media efforts are 'Done Well'. It is a methodical, systematic approach.
What I'm looking for on LinkedIn:
I am looking for small and medium sized businesses who want to leverage social media to boost their brand, image, exposure, reputation, and ultimately their revenue.
I am looking for businesses who are tired of pursuing social media with little or no return and are ready for a methodical and systematic approach.
I am looking for speaking engagements on the topics of blogging and other social media. I have spoken before local and national audiences, appeared on television and radio. to speak about blogging.
