The all-day social media conference organized by Lissa Duty, founder of LissaDuty.com, was grown out of her passion for educating others about the use of online social networking sites for branding themselves and their businesses.

DFW Rocks Social Media Day was designed to provide attendees with ROCK-solid information and insights on how to be a Social Media POWERHOUSE. The speakers and presentations focus on providing practical How-To’s not Why-To’s. The strategies and tools shared employ methods used by the Pros to implement and manage effective social media marketing campaigns.

Andrea Vahl, co-author of Facebook Marketing All-in-One for Dummies, kicks-off the day via LIVE Streaming Video. Her presentation, Facebook Marketing for PAGES, focuses on showing the attendees how to get more “Likes” and drive interactions on their pages.

The next speaker, Lissa, who is passionate about Twitter, presents ROCK Your Twitter: Tweet Like a Pro. She shares the strategies and tips she employs in launching successful Twitter campaigns for her clients and promoting events online.

Robin Moss, web designer extraordinaire, presents YouTube Video for the DIY, and makes a video during her presentation showing the attendees how easy it is to upload to YouTube, SEO, and embed in a WordPress blog.

The Social House in Addison is a perfect venue for the fi rst annual DFW Rocks Social Media Day conference—after all, getting social is what the day is about!

Since the reason we use social media is to get more clients, a presentation on converting online connections to clients was quite relevant. Patty Farmer, founder of BizLink Global, an in-person and online networking community, presented Six-Figure FOLLOW UP: Connections to Clients. Patty shares tips on how to effectively network and expand a client base using a non-competitive and dynamic collaboration strategy. (Patty has a network of 75,000+.)

LinkedIn is the social networking site that is frequented most often by companies,recruiters, and Fortune 500 professionals. The POWER of Being LinkedIn, by J.R. Atkins,focuses on how to leverage your LinkedIn Connections, put LinkedIn to work for you and your business, plus the key areas to SEO your LinkedIn profi le.

Fred Campos, known for putting the fun in social media, presents an enlightened, light-hearted presentation on YOUR Business Interest in Pinterest. He shares his “secrets to pinning,” getting “repined,” and driving backlinks to your website. Fred throws out some tips the marketing the pros don’t normally share!

The day is winding down when the Social Media Q & A Panel takes the stage. The panelists (the Pro’s, as Lissa calls them), Giovanni Gallucci, Neil Lemons, and Mike Merrill come up to bat. They’re there to answer their questions, and provide their expert opinions. No question is too small or too big!

The fi nal presentation is Lissa, What is RIGHT for Your Business? Social Media Sites & Tools. She focuses on providing the attendees with information and insight to determine which social networking sites and social media tools are right for their business and budget.

The attendees just think the day is over when the after-event networking sponsoredby BizLink Global kicks up exactly at 4:01 p.m. The after-event networking is just as important as the conference! Attendees talk one-on-one with the speakers, panelists, and the other experts who fi lled the room. All in all, the day is a success with over 100 attendees at the conference, and even more at the after-event networking. Attendees walk away with their pockets full of new skills, tips, ideas, and most importantly—new friends. Lissa has one fi nal thought to close the day: DFW will ROCK Social Media once again on Saturday, June 29 & June 30, 2013, so save the date on your calendar NOW! You won’t want to miss it!
