Social Media Surgery with iGeek

Last week Saturday the RLabs team had the privilege of hosting Gerhard Potgieter from iGeek fame who workshopped monetizing your blog. The Social Media Surgery took a slightly different structure to our last one as it was more focussed on developing the team to develop a sustainable Social Media model for Communities in Tension. Some of the key points during Gerhard’s talk were:

1. focus you blog (niche)
2. be passionate about your subject
3. be obsessed about your topic
4. build a following
5. when you combine all of these you will build a following easily

Over the next few weeks the team will be training a number of community members on how they can maximise the use of their blogs in a self-sustainable way.
