SQLSaturday Orlando Marketing Plan-Part 38

I just checked in again on our LinkedIn campaign, had a couple days with good impression counts. We can still only tie 1 registration to all of the LinkedIn effort so far. Keep going, or ? I think I’m going to see if I can change the URL to a tinyurl, don’t know if that […]

Building The SQLSaturday Orlando Marketing Plan-Part 29

Received an email from LinkedIn that the ad was approved and so far we’ve spent a whopping 83 cents! Not expecting much more tomorrow (Sunday), but will be interesting to see how it does on Monday.

Building the SQLSaturday Orlando Marketing Plan-Part 28

Today at lunch I looked at LinkedIn advertising. I only capture the last part to share here, but you put in a title, short text, and an optional image, then you narrow the geographical area and then pick a functional area OR job titles. LI says that nets out to 23k members in the Orlando […]

Asking for a recommendation can be awkward and in the […]

LinkedIn Group Recommendations-Not Quite Useful

I received an email from LinkedIn suggesting that I might find these groups useful: I’m sure those map back to someone in my network, but not sure at all how they would determine that these would fit me. BI gone wrong? Or do they know something I don’t?

SQLSaturday #62 in Tampa on January 15, 2011

So far SQLSaturday Tampa will be the first SQLSaturday of 2011, and the first one I’ll be attending in 2011 as well. I’m going to try to attend one event a month, the try portion meaning there is a terrible temptation to do more (as in all of them) and that sometimes as much as […]
