If you’re going to be in Minnesota on June 11, you’ll definitely not want to miss a great event at which I’ve been invited to be a speaker.

Chocolat Celeste in St. Paul, Minnesota will host a seminar and I’ll be discussing how to leverage the power of social media. I’ll cover what Social Media is, how to use sites like LinkedIn and Facebook for business, and a whole lot more.

The seminar costs just $50 and you’ll get a ton of information that you won’t get anywhere else for that price. Over half (56%) of businesses surveyed for Forrester Research’s “Global Enterprise Web 2.0 Market Forecast: 2007 to 2013” have Web 2.0 “on the agenda” for 2008. And spending by large companies on Web 2.0 technologies such as blogs, social networks, widgets and RSS will grow rapidly – 43% a year over the next 5 years, according to Forrester’s research. Yet, less than 10% of small and medium-sized businesses have yet to harness the business-building power of Social Media. According to Forrester, “The effect of Web 2.0 will be enormous in terms of success for those companies who leverage it, and a competitive disadvantage for those who don’t.”

There is so much potential in social media that has yet to be tapped and I can’t wait to share with you all the different ways you can use it to boost your business.

The event will take place on June 11 at 5:30-8:00 p.m. at
