Norwalk, CT, February 18, 2011:  BookExpo America (BEA) officials have today announced plans for a second webinar following the successful launch of their new webinar program in December, 2010.  The next webinar will take place Wednesday, March 9, 12 noon – 1:00pm EST ($25) and will focus exclusively on Twitter, the pre-eminent micro-blogging social networking site.  As leading networking sites have replaced traditional media, Twitter has emerged as a powerful force not only in the delivery of news but in helping to shape and define marketing strategy for all types of business.  The title of the webinar is Twitter: Building Communities and Followers with Tips, Tactics & Applications for Publishers and Authors and it will feature bestselling author and renowned marketer Jeffrey W.

Twitter has more than 175 million users and there are now more than 100 million tweets a day.  The BEA webinar will be targeted to members of the book industry – publishers and authors – focused on reaching and engaging readers.  As with the first webinar, the content will be instructional and practical.  The focus will be on publishers and authors who are Twitter users and the goal is to have the participants walk away with several actionable suggestions that will improve their social networking efforts on Twitter.  Some discussion items include: ­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­ Mastering the Art of Hashtags, Tweetchats and Twitter Interviews, Establishing Company Guidelines for Tweeting, Twitter as Customer Service, Twitter Lists – the secret weappn for rapid fanbase building, Twitter Profile for publishers with multiple categories and several imprints, the importance of Retweets, Twitter Metrics, Timesaving Tools like Hootsuite and Tweetdeck, Combining traditional media with Twitter efforts and much more!
