Introducing SOCIAL MIDAS™
15 Golden Keys To Stellar Social Media Marketing

We have gathered the BEST of the best strategies from both large and small businesses, and we've distilled everything down into a real-world, practical, step-by-step course for you.

SOCIAL MIDAS™ is an intensive, in-depth social marketing system, designed from the ground up to take you from social butterfly to social marketing mastery.

Face it … in the real world, you don't make money trying random little tips, scattered flavor-of-the-month stuff, or trying out the latest greatest app and another one and another one. You already know that doesn't get you measurable results. What you need is a complete, integrated approach to the money-making system that is SOCIAL MIDAS™

And we guarantee you'll find the sum is even greater than the parts you see here!

Here's the mother lode course contents:

SOCIAL MIDAS™ is an 8-part video course with both Guy Kawasaki and me, Mari Smith, as your expert guides through the social media jungle! It's like all of us sitting down together in my office for a business meeting, where you can look over our shoulders as we show you the EXACT, step-by-step, systematic approaches we use in our own businesses every day to achieve outrageous success using social media to bring in the big bucks!

In addition to the 8 information-packed webinars, you'll also get full transcripts of each session. I know many business owners and entrepreneurs prefer to learn by the written word vs. the spoken word. Or both! :) Even better, you can watch the video modules while you add your own notes to the transcripts, to create your own personalized social media business plan.

Informative and Entertaining!
"The feedback on Guy's presentation was very positive. Our team found Guy's content and style both informative and entertaining."
