Social Networking or How to Be a Twit - Seminar at the Arcade in San Pedro, CA

Dec. 16, 2009 - PRLog -- Presenter Rex Freiberger of Highly Relevant will speak on Blogging, Facebooking, Linkedin, and Twitter - Learn How to network online at 6:00 Thursday, January 7, 2010.  The event will be held at the historic Arcade Building at 479 West 6th Street, San Pedro California,  as part of its 85th birthday celebration.  The evening will include a time of real life social networking both before and after the seminar, so bring plenty of business cards.

Rex Freiberger has been in the thick of Search Engine Optimization (SEO), WordPress SEO, Social Media Marketing and Online Reputation Management since 2005. Prior to starting Highly Relevant, Rex was a Senior New Media Manager at Tsavo Media - where he was responsible for bringing over one million hits to the Daymix Network of Tsavo Media - as well as a Client Account Manager at DONE! SEO.

With this background, Rex can help you see the potential for driving new customers to your business through these social media approaches.  Rex will also give you direction on integrating these marketing methods into your overall marketing scheme.  Finally, he will demonstrate how social media can turn your current customers into clients, or even community.

One of the biggest concerns voiced by potential clients of Highly Relevant is this:  "How do I find the time to do all this online social networking and still run my business?"  The typical small business owner is always pressed for time to satisfy his customers take care of daily management tasks, and find a few minutes for a personal life (what's that.)

Freiberger explains it this way, "There is no doubt about the fact that effective online social networking takes time.  You have to be willing to be a giver to the online community before they are going to give you their business.   But how is this different from social networking in general.  If you join a new group, it just takes time to become a trusted member of that group."

But there are ways to automate, speed up, and optimize the overall online networking experience.  Freiberger continues:  "We at Highly Relevant have created some unique programs and methods for multiplying your effort.  In fact, we can even do the entire thing for you.  But most owners want to be a part of the process, they just don't want to spend half their waking hours writing copy or creating Tweets.  There are many ways to get the results with a reasonable investment of time and money."

Randy Kirk, organizer of the event, is a marketing consultant who was having a hard time getting his arms around Twitter and LinkedIn.  "I'm so glad that Rex is going to be presenting at the Arcades 85th birthday party.  I have not had much success with these tools, and my clients are thinking I've gone to sleep on this.  Rex has made the tools accessible to normal guys like me."  You can reach Rex through highlyrelevant.com/

Other events that day include a 10:00 am. seminar that teaches you how to earn money renting your home, business, or other property as a movie location.  The lunch seminar will cover internet marketing for local businesses, and include information about Yelp, Google Maps, YouTube Videos and Email blasting as marketing tools for small businesses.

The Arcade Building is one of the most beautiful office buildings in Los Angeles. Currently housing various upscale retail and office tenants, the building was restored in 1986, and is this year celebrating 85 years of history. First built as a home in 1924, the original home was raised and became the penthouse of what is now a three story building.

The Arcade is a familiar star of films, television, and commercials. The facade and breezeway are both elegant and easily transformed to create many different looks. Space is currently available for both retail and office use.
