Social Media Smarts

I don't know about you, but I'm still learning how writers make the best use of social media. If getting more social media savvy is on your list of 2013 resolutions, check out the January bootcamp offered by Renegade Writer Linda Formichelli and Carol Tice of The Writers Den and Make a Living Writing.

It's a series of 4 one-hour live sessions with emphasis on LinkedIn and Twitter, and includes a critique of your social media profiles. If you can't make the live sessions, recordings and transcripts are available soon after the calls end. I've attended two of their bootcamps and can tell you they pack a lot of information in them so the downloadable recordings come in very handy.

Between now and Dec. 31, the cost is only $97, which also includes a one month membership in the Writers Den, giving you access to their previous webinar recordings and other writer resources. The Den is currently closed to new members except for people who sign up for this class. The nonmember  price goes up to $197 as of January 1, 2013. You can check out the details here.
