Author and Social Media Marketing Guru, Shama Kabani Invites Virtual Assistants to Learn ‘Marketing Zen’ Secrets, April 29th


Marketing Zen Group CEO and author of ‘The Zen of Social Media Marketing’, Shama Kabani joins the Virtual Assistant Forums community to discuss how social media can help virtual assistants effectively market and differentiate their business.

Small business owners utilizing Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn or any of the other myriad of social media websites for business know how easy it is to feel as if their own voice is lost in the sea of marketing messages that flood timelines and profiles alike. Social media is touted as the new marketer’s paradise, but how can an entrepreneur on a startup budget ensure their own social networking efforts are making the biggest impact?

Dubbed a "millennial master of the universe" and "online marketing shaman" by Fast Company magazine, Shama Kabani has the answers to that question, and more. On Thursday, April 29th 2010 Shama invites members of the Virtual Assistant Forums community to discuss how virtual assistants can integrate social media into their marketing plan and differentiate their business.

Shama says “Social Media Marketing can benefit any business, but can be particularly helpful to smaller businesses that do not have access to the advertising dollars that larger companies have. Using Social Media Marketing to get your name out there is a cost effective and very useful tool…”

To network live with Shama and learn from this Social Media Marketing guru how to elevate your own social media presence, all virtual assistants and aspiring VAs are invited to register for a free membership at Virtual Assistant Forums.
