SMBME on MaineLife
I was asked recently by Jess Knox, from Venture Hall, and Erin Ovalle, from MaineLife, to do a short interview for their Game Changers segment. It was great to spend some time gushing about this little community we have made.
I started hosting the Social Media Breakfasts in Portland almost 8 years ago. It started with about 20 “early adopters” (aka nerds) in a conference room and it has grown into what it is today. We were talking about how to use social media to market businesses before social media was “a thing”.
Just about every month we tackle a different topic in and around the social media space and try to figure out how we can use it to promote and grow our businesses. I feel this community is as strong as it is because the events have always been about the room, the market, and the businesses in our city and what they need.
I have been honored to be a part of this. I have been proud to watch people get jobs in this room, start their own businesses in this room, and to grow their businesses. Thanks to all of you for making #SMBME what it is.
Be sure to catch MaineLife at 11:30 on Sundays on WCSH6, their YouTube Channel or their Facebook page.
Yesterday on the #smbme webinar I touched on some tips for looking good on webinars and video conferences that go beyond "dress to impress!" I compiled those tips over at @KnackFactory. https://t.co/Oijoeh4owX
For anyone tuned into the #smbme this morning, this was the @nodepression piece by @forked_queer I was talking about. https://t.co/hOPdzydGqO
While running three (3) businesses devoted to bringing folks together 😬 grateful for this first demonstration (in my world) of community sprouting through isolation 💜 #SMBME
It was such a pleasure being with the #SMBME crowd six weeks ago, back when we were still allowed to touch our faces 🙈
