Social Media Consulting and Training Services

Greetings!

I am a passionate social media leader, specializing in relationship marketing and Facebook mastery. I particularly love to train and mentor. I offer customized social media training for you and your team, either remotely via webinar or onsite at your offices. I also lead training sessions via an affordable monthly membership program and I offer a high-end mentorship program for fellow social media professionals. Plus, I am a professional speaker and travel the United States and internationally to deliver keynotes, breakout sessions and workshops.

Following are the various ways that I can be of support to you and your business. If you have any questions, please contact me with a note of your company’s specific needs and my team and I will get back to you as quickly as possible.

Member Program: Ongoing Monthly Support [*most popular!*]

Social Media Inner Circle – *NEW* – we just added a second monthly webinar to this popular program. Now, we meet on the first and third Wednesdays of each month (starting in January). (December’s meeting will be on Tuesday, December 6th due to the holidays and other commitments). This is an extremely effective and affordable way to keep yourself current on the rapidly changing social media landscape. Each session runs for 60-75 minutes, and I walk you through the latest changes, sharing my desktop. Plus, there is always plenty time for Q&A and a chance to be in the ‘hotseat’ for critiques on your website, blog, and social profiles. PLUS: we have a very active secret Facebook Group for members only. It’s an incredibly supportive community. NOTE: This program just RE-OPENED and is only $37 per month — join in the month of December and you’ll be grandfathered in at the $37/mo rate forever! When the program increases to $47/mo then $97/mo, you’ll still only pay $37/mo! :) Member, Nick Unsworth says these monthly member sessions are “hands down the best value on the web!”

Done-for-you Social Media Start Up Package [*popular!*]

Social Media Plug and Play – if you’re just starting out with social media – or you got started then got stuck – this is the package for you! You’ll get your Facebook fan page and Twitter profile set up and customized (or improved if already set up). PLUS 30 days’ support with your own, dedicated social media assistant. PLUS lifetime membership in my Social Media Inner Circle! PLUS, free bonus program 30 Days To Social Media Success. Just click here for more details and to sign up.

Customized Social Media Training

If you’re interested in having me train you and/or your team – either virtually via webinar or live in person – I’d love to discuss your needs and create a customized training program for you. Please contact me with a note of your company’s specific needs and I’ll get back to you promptly.

One-on-one Social Marketing Consulting:

I am currently not taking on individual clients. However, I have a cadre of high-caliber, professional social media speakers, consultants, trainers, strategists, assistants, and managers. Whatever you need to fully integrate social media and grow your business, I am happy to provide a solid referral for you.

    Girl Ambition fills the void for tween girls who have moved on from younger websites like Club Penguin but are not ready for more advanced sites like Facebook and YouTube. Parent’s get peace of mind knowing their daughters are learning the internet rules in a secure place.

    Hi, I am the owner of a cosmetic lab and we produce organic cosmetics. We had a bussiness fan page in Facebook, we had almost 1 500 fans, a lot of educational info, promotions, adds, etc. And last Tuesday FB disables our page, they send me an e mail saying that the pg was threatening, obscene and other things. The name of the page is Aromas para el Alma, there has to be a huge mistake, we follwed all the rules and we really want to recover the page. Please help us.

    Oh no – this is terrible news. Wow, how awful. Usually it's best to fill out a form on Facebook in order to get them to respond… see if you can find a form in the Help Center. Keep me posted!

    Hi Mari. When will you be relaunching the Monthly support and Quick Start options?

  • Amyl1957

    When do you think that you will offer the Social Marketing Method again? Do you offer any other type of training? I have your book and I have been reading through it.

  • http://twitter.com/kevinhayesca Kevin Hayes

    Looking forward to you relaunching your Social Marketing Method. Is there an email list to sign up for?

    I am definitely interested in becoming a member.  I am very limited in my knowledge of social media.  I have over 1500 friends on my Facebook and would have no idea how to leverage that in my favor.  Thanks.

  • Paul Krueger

    Hi, I got alot out of your webinar today thanks.
     I am just starting to get an understanding on promoting my site. I was wondering what exactly do you mean when you said you had to surrender the domin to faCEBOOK?
    Regards, Paul Krueg

  • Charles000

    Hi Mari -
     
    I found your website by accident, but am glad I did.
     
    Being the veteran uber-Facebook expert that you are, I am wondering, what is your opinion of the “new” Facebook?
     
    I appreciate any response you might offer.  As for my opinion about the new Facebook ? 
     
    This is the wrong direction for FaceBook to be heading toward.  My original interest in Facebook was having access to a fun, easy virtual meeting place for various friends and comrades to visit, share some photos and so on.
     
    I NEVER had any interest in FB becoming some sort of corporate data mining commodity . . . and yet, that is exactly what FB is aiming at.
     
    At the very least, FB should continue providing its original format to ordinary users, and offer this new “enhanced” version to those who might want this.
     
    The general public tends to be very wary of any sort of hard sell, aggressive or predatory stealth marketing techniques that may be encountered.
     
    Any thoughts about this ???
     
    best regards – Charlres

    Hi Charles — I tend to just go with the flow when it comes to Facebook. They will constantly innovate and strive to serve FOUR primary audiences: 1) users, 2) advertisers, 3) businesses and brands, and 4) stakeholders/investors. It’s a fine dance but somehow Zuckerberg has managed since 2006. :) I’m a big believer in ‘caveat emptor’ – the users need to decide how much personal information they share. It’s a free site and we need to be responsible for our own privacy, security and safety.

    I took the Quick Start off the market and currently have no plans to recreate it — as soon as I make training videos on Facebook, the platform changes! :)  The Inner Circle is the best value for sure and now with the new secret group, you’ll get TONS of support for a mere $27/month!

    Hi Mari! I’m interested in joining your Inner Circle but am wondering what time the calls are.  I work a full time job as well as starting up my business so sometimes the calls are hard to make.

    This seems to be very informative, but don’t take my word for it.
