Hi all,

I've been doing some extensive research in to Facebook as some of you may well know.

I understand that everyone likes FREE things, so I was wondering whether a free eCourse on Using Facebook would be at all beneficial. Not "how to use it" simply "what it is" and more specifically why some people find it exciting. It would be relevant to both B2B and B2C.

The course would be delivered by email and would involve "signing-up". The information would be automatically fed through by email over 10 days.

I wouldn't be charging for the eCourse, I would simply be doing it to raise awareness of Facebook as a tool and more specifically some of the services I am delivering to Marketing Agencies. There will be zero marketing bull, but a good format of unbias useful business info in there.

The content is defo unique and comes direct from my research and I'm planning on using it for a local awareness raising project too.

Would this be welcomed? If so, by how many?

Also, do you have any comments, questions or anything that you'd like to put forward?

sign me up Mr Facebook guru

Hi Les,

If there is a big enough show of hands, I will release a sign-up form and apply some of the more advanced email marketing techniques, that demonstrate a little bit of automation - it should be a nice little show case if enough people fancy it. BTW: There are 10 because, they are 10 articles for your magazine (hushh - nobody heard that).

As I writing these articles fresh, feel free to give input on anything not fully understood and I'll cover it.

Most people should be able to take the info and apply it straight away. Win Win.

MARVELLOUS - Go for it!

I think that would be really good! There is so much about social media around but unless you spend a lot of time it is difficult to understand all of the offerings.

Hi David,

thank you.

The course material is now written in first draft.

10 Days worth of education. It's bite-sized, structured and informative. I'm going to be reviewing it with a few others who I've been working with and I would like to know whether there is anything you would particularly like included?

Or perhaps something you would expect to see?

Interested to hear your thoughts...

Me too.

And me

(I have to say "WE DO BLING" somewhere)

Sounds interesting Doug :-)

The wizz kids have looked over it and comments are:

> would probably want to insist my relevant clients read it too

> your marketing makes it simple to JDI

> I've not come across a good outline on how to set up, why, etc for Facebook

> [following various contstructive comments] I like it :)

Only thing is I've gotta put it all together over the weekend :-( // an eBook would be easier, but hey, this is an email course....

Show me some urgency and I'll have it ready for release sooner, any more interested parties?
