In this Marketing Monday webinar, Your Guide to Small Business Storytelling, Robert Carnes, Author and Marketing Manager at GreenMellen Digital Marketing Company explains how to shape a a clear narrative that invites your prospective and existing customers to listen and engage. Storytelling Marketing involves using a narrative to communicate a message so the consumer will be inspired to take action.

Find Your Voice Through Social Media

PRESENTED BY:

Renee Rayles, Social Media Coach

Reneé Rayles is a social media coach and runs the successful social media platform, Diabettie. Last year, she had over 27,000,000 social media views, with less than 30,000 followers. She was featured in Forbes Magazine, The New York Times, and spoke at a Presidential debate due to her social media presence.

Topics Reneé will be covering include:

The reason why creating video content is king in 2023.
Tips on how to get started with creating video content.
Ways to hone down on your niche and why it is important in finding your audience and potential customers.
Why follower count and views do not always matter.
As a previous television host, she will give tips and techniques on how to get comfortable in front of the camera.
How to create content in batches versus daily and save valuable time.
