I was on one of your Google+ hangouts webinar about 3 months ago and you mentioned a new program you were launching….was it Inner Circle?

Tiffany Odutoye on April 14, 2014 at 6:19 am

Mari, when will you relaunch the live immersion styled events for 2014/15?

Mari Smith on May 6, 2014 at 2:30 pm

Hi @virtualpartner:disqus!! Aha, thank you kindly for asking! My next immersion style live event will be the second week of October 2014. 🙂 Stay tuned for more details coming shortly.

This is amongst the most inane websites I have ever seen. The world and every single economy in it would be better off without people like you.

Hardey Leone on October 29, 2013 at 3:53 pm

I agree. It is vile.

  I agree. Cluttered!

Hi Mari! I was watching a recording of a webinar you gave recently, but had to pause halfway through, left the recording paused on my computer, and someone accidentally closed my browser, and now I can’t figure out where I got to it! I do sign up for a lot of stuff through HubSpot…could that have been it? Anyway, if you could share the link so I can finish watching, that’d be great! I was soaking up your knowledge like a little social media sponge!

Margarito Garcia on March 14, 2012 at 8:25 pm

Hi Mari,
Would the Social Media Inner Circle help me in promoting your products? I would love to know how socia media works by becoming one of your affiliates before I go into any ventures of my own. Thank you for your time!

Mertminer on November 13, 2011 at 5:12 pm

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

Deanna Gibbons on November 5, 2011 at 2:41 pm

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.

Mari Smith on October 9, 2011 at 1:26 pm

Thank you for asking! The Social Marketing Method has been rebranded to Social Media Inner Circle and is now open for new members:http://innercirclewithmari.com. Come join us – we have a vibrant Facebook Group too!

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 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.
