Social Media in 7 Minutes to be Released on October 1st

Oct. 4, 2011 - PRLog -- Social Media in 7 Minutes (SMI7M), a revolutionary online training program designed to not only educate small business owners on how to apply social media into their marketing plan, but also to provide a practical tool which will allow them to implement their marketing plan in just 7 minutes a day, is set to launch on Monday, October 3rd.  It will be available at their official website: http://www.SocialMediaIn7Minutes.com.

Social Media in 7 Minutes is a creation of Black Box Social Media LLC, a social media marketing for business consulting group who works with higher end clients, such as former Reality TV Stars, Professional Sports Teams, International Motivation Speakers, Gurus, Infomercial products, etc...

While outsourcing to other social media marketing firms may make sense for larger businesses, it doesn't always make financial sense for small business owners.

"Most small business owners would be amazed at how quick and inexpensive performing social media marketing themselves is," says SMI7M co-creator Curt Maly.  "The problem is that they don´t have a 1 stop shop to teach them how to use social media effectively.  Social Media in 7 Minutes is designed to allow small business owners the ability to create and implement their own social media marketing plan with a minimal time and financial investment."

Social Media in 7 Minutes is an online training using both videos and text summaries to show small business how they can perform social media marketing themselves in just 7 short minutes a day.

The how-to videos are designed to show the user exactly step by step how to perform each given task.  The online videos are broken into 30+ different videos, ranging from beginners to advanced levels of the following social media topics: Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Local Online Directories.

Each video ranges in time frames from as short as 5 minutes to as long as 20 minutes. Ideally, the student can watch one video a day, perform their homework, and have a fully functioning social media marketing plan implemented within 31 days. From there, Social Media in 7 Minutes has an actual Do It Yourself '7 Minute Dashboard' that will allow the user to schedule all of their posts, reply to all social media engagements, post birthday wishes, send text messages, email blasts, and more from one simple dashboard.


"Every time I write an article about social media, it becomes outdated or irrelevant within about 2 weeks," says Black Box Social Media CEO Tom Bukacek. "The great thing about this video series is that it is always being updated to match the ever evolving, dynamic nature of this rapidly changing industry.  So if Facebook changes the way you have to go about performing PPC, we simply record the changes and update the video."

What also is so unique about this product is the 7 Minute Dashboard, which is where you take everything learned in the SMI7M program and put it to use on a daily basis where you can update, manage, and interact with all of your social media channels in under seven minutes a day.


"Most businesses fail to implement a social media marketing plan because it takes time to go to all the different sites, log in, interact, log off, and go to another site,"  says BBSM Co-Founder Nick Bridges.  "It become a tedious chore.  With the 7 Minute Dashboard, you can manage all of  your social networking sites, emails, text messages, auto responders, reputation management, and more from one location in under 10 minutes a day!"

This great social technology allows businesses to interact with their customers and potential clients and provide social proof in a more personal manner than ever before. A successful social media marketing campaign will have a extremely high ROI with minimal time or monetary investment...if you know what you are doing. Hiring employees is time consuming, risky, and costly. Outsourcing these functions to other marketing consulting companies is very expensive.

SMI7M, with its 7 Minute Dashboard is the cost effective, time saving solution to the challenge of 'how to create and implement a social media marketing plan' for small businesses today.
