Wow, what a crazy couple of months it’s been! March and almost all of April have blown by at an alarming rate, and with bad weather to boot! But we haven’t forgotten about our ebooks, and now that Social 2011 has been put to bed, we’re hoping that our newest publication helps to brighten what has otherwise been a roaring lion of a spring (for most of us, anyhow).

If your daffodils haven’t sprouted yet and your tulips are a few weeks behind, rest assured that there’s one thing that is still growing in leaps and bounds – social media. And if the prospect of embracing a solid social media strategy/campaign for your corporation seems daunting, we are here to assure you that it isn’t.

In this ebook, called Training Your Company for Social Media, we take your hand and guide you through a step by step training outline that will help you prepare your employees, whatever the number, to dive into social media.

We’ll explain and explore:

• The specific reasons why training everyone in social media use is so important
• The preparatory steps you need to take during your program planning phase
• A loose framework to plan your training course programming
• Internal hurdles and considerations
• Ongoing education and post-training resource planning

While creating a social media training program for your organization is no walk in the park, it doesn’t have to be an exercise in back breaking, either. With the right information in hand, you can create a solid training program that gets your basic-level employees feeling comfortable and your advanced-level employees ready to use their social networking skills on your company’s behalf.

So put these tips into practice and before you know it another great rite of spring will have come and gone. The training wheels will be off, and you and your employees will be riding down the social media road confidently and securely (just make sure you wear a helmet!).
