Are you making the most of the practically-free online marketing tools?

If you're in the Northwest (of the US), join me July 9-10 in Seattle at Bizjam, the two-day conference designed to help you learn how to use the current crop of low- or no-cost social media tools, such as social networks, wikis, blogs and sharing sites like Flickr and YouTube, to grow your business faster and make it more profitable.

I am just one in a long list of speakers that includes social media experts like Metafilter founder Matt Haughey, business blogger DL Byron, and the original cybergirl, Aliza Sherman.

Day One - Wednesday, July 9, 9AM to 5PM
Social Media Essentials for Small Business
It is more important than ever for indie and small businesses to embrace and apply social media and web 2.0 tools to achieve and maintain success. From blogging to Basecamp to Google analytics, you'll learn about the top tools and how to know which are right for your business.

Day Two - Thursday, July 10, 9AM to 5PM
Business-Building Workshops + Networking
There is so much to know when you're running your own show. This day has it all and it comes to you in the way of strategies, skills and connections to help take your business to the next level. Of course you can go it alone; get the guidance you need to go in the right direction.

Cost is $195 for either day individually, or $390 for both days. SPECIAL OFFER: $129 for BOTH days for Biznik.com members who upgrade to $10/month Active membership.

More details and online registration here.

Learn how your business can ride the wave of change, rather than get buried by it.

Hope to see you in Seattle next month!
