We're part of Des Moines Local Live a brand new group of people willing to share our passion with you...
On the show today...
Mike Sansone is the principal of ConverStations and fondly known as the "Don" of 
"The Des Moines BlogaNostra". Mike is the man who put our advertising agency on the road to Business Blogging and today many of our clients are successfully using social media and business blogs to listen to their customers. Mike strongly believes that BLOGS give business and consumers a connection to build communication and because "people still buy from people" the business blog extends your marketing footprint and allows communication to be a two-way street.
Mike will talk about Blogging Basics, how to get started and how to keep motivated. We'll talk about building community through business blogs and we'll talk about the need to take ownership of your conversation. How can you use the business blog to not only connect but to build new products and services the public, your customers, are demanding. He'll also share with you what it takes to build and maintain a successful business blog.
Hey, it doesn't matter if you "think" you know it all...or if you are brand new to the idea...Mike Sansone has the knowledge that will help you soar. We know he has helped us...and we are grateful. Mike Sansone today on Insight on Business here at www.macsworldlive.com.
Along with Mike we'll have Angela Maiers in the studio. Angela is the principal of Maiers Educational Services and has used social media and blogging to build her brand and her business. A twenty-year educational professional Angela connects teachers with new and innovative tools to help kids learn...while still teaching...teachers. We'll talk, on practical terms, what blogging has meant to her ability to get found..and get hired. How she uses her social media tools to reach out and connect in conversation with clients, kids, teachers and parents. Mike and I can talk all day about why you should blog and use social media. Angela will put the talk into solid examples of how powerful this is. Angela Maiers today on Insight on Business!
