Sell what’s in your head!

Whether you’re a computer geek, a gardening geek, a whole-foods geek or a fishing geek – social media now lets you build a following online where you can share (and sell) the stuff that’s in your head. Through social media, you can connect directly with your audience – no agents, publishers, editors or gatekeepers – and gain immediate feedback. With low start-up costs, you can affordably create your own little knowledge factory online.

Join Social Media Club Columbia and speaker Dick Carlson for an interactive workshop-style meeting all about how you can take what you know and sell it using social media.

Part I of this month’s meeting will include demos of:

• A woman who sells advice on how to grow and eat only raw foods
• The guy who kept track of the best seat on each kind of airplane and sold that info for money
• A group of writers who teach writers how to write and make money on their writing (they’re always sold out)
• A fisherman who now has an entire YouTube channel where he just visits with other fisherman in Miami

In Part II, we’ll brainstorm together on how actual attendees can “Sell What’s In Their Head.”

Whether you’re looking to sell what’s in your head for money or to build your “brand” online; whether you want to boost your existing business or build a hobby into a profession, Dick Carlson’s interactive workshop can help.

About Dick Carlson

Dick Carlson is an Instructional Designer and e-learning geek. Without thinking it through completely, he moved to South Carolina because his wife found a new job there, and it was sunny. He now sweats a lot more than he did in Seattle. He’s developed software documentation, computer training labs, webinars for shy coders, and taught geeks how to speak in front of huge audiences. Some of this was done for the Microsoft Corporation in Redmond, Washington before he escaped in 2007. After multiple surgeries, all of the mods have been removed and he’s nearly completely functional again.
