Kevin Palmer is the social media guru behind the site Social Media Answers, and we’re happy to welcome him to WordCamp Chicago where he will speak on the topic of Using WordPress as Your Social Media Hub. It’s getting somewhat confusing for folks to know where Facebook ends and Twitter begins — and how does that all relate to your blog? Kevin brings his wealth of expertise on the subject to offer some tips and advice on navigating through the world of social media and blogs.
From Kevin’s bio:
I have been active in the world of social media for over five years. I was an early adopter to the social networking site MySpace, on there I used my marketing expertise to create one of the most read personal blogs on the website culminating in millions of page views in the year 2005. Over this time period my expertise grew from social networking to other social media staples such as blogging, podcasting, video, micro-blogging and social bookmarking including being a paid writer for b5media writing a blog covering the social media world. Through this exposure I began to consult with businesses ranging from independent film companies, traditional print publications, to small businesses on how to use social media and internet marketing to brand themselves, their companies, drive traffic and increase sales. My consulting experience led me to work with Frontal Lobe Films as a Vice President of marketing where I helped construct social media strategies for various projects including a marketing plan for the company’s trip to the Cannes Film Festival.
