Safe Social Media for Business Women

Safe Social Media for Business Women is being co-sponsored by Kishor and WritePoint.

Social media tools have become a mainstay of business advertising and promotion. On the other hand, they represent significant risk to personal privacy, ethical boundaries and time demands. This course is designed for those of us who need to use these tools for businesses and will teach you how to decide which tools are appropriate for your purposes, how to deal intelligently with social media in business and how to keep yourself safe and within your personal ethical boundaries online.

This series includes in-depth discussions of the four most popular social media tools – Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and blogging, plus a complimentary capstone session on creating a social media plan for your business.  The series is presented with a special emphasis on using these tools safely, appropriately and with specific attention to privacy issues.

Through case studies and with experienced instructors, you will learn how each tool differs from the others, what each tool is best used for, how to ensure your privacy online, how to integrate social media tools for increased impact and more.

Kishor members are eligible for a 10% discount on the full series (360NIS instead of 400 NIS).

Session 4: Sharing Your Expertise Through Blogging

Think of a blog as an online feature magazine, focused on a single subject (e.g. kosher cooking, parenting, investing, current events, crafts, health and wellness, etc.).  Blogs provide a platform for sharing your business expertise with others, enhancing your professional reputation and inviting interaction with your clients.  There are over 156 million blogs in existence. This session will teach you how to stay on topic and professional in the increasingly laconic blogging world.
