Why do I need social media? How do I use social media without it taking over my life? What do we use social media for in business? Do you want to use social media productively? My personal life is on the web; why and how much? Can we really communicate our message through social media? Which social media sites should I join?

We will discuss social media dos and don'ts and the balancing act that is so hard to define. We will help bring out the best ways to use social media to help fulfill a real business need. Once people register for this event, they will be able to post questions to the Box of Rain web site to be discussed at the event.

This brainstorming session is geared to help small business owners, independent workers, and anyone who is thinking about starting a business and needs help. We are open to everyone. There is a minimal fee of $15.00 in advance and $20.00 at the door to cover expenses and continental breakfast.
