In an effort to continue discussion and connect our Social Media Club community with our featured Book Club authors, we are hosting a complimentary webinar on Tuesday, August 28th at 2pm EST Tuesday, September 11th at 2pm EST with author Ric Dragon. 

In Social Marketology, cofounder Ric Dragon of the renowned search engine marketing firm DragonSearch, takes social media marketing to the next step—showing how to choose the best tools for your needs and develop a strategy tailored to your goals.

Drawing from such process methodologies as LEAN and the Capability Maturity Model, Dragon helps you develop a social media process that is quantifiable, repeatable—and improvable. His process is based on these basic steps:

• Focus on desirable outcomes: Vision, Goals, Objectives, and Metrics
• Pinpoint the very smallest segments of your customers
• Determine the communities to which these microsegments belong
• Identify the influencers of those communities
• Create an action plan for your project
• Measure and constantly improve your efforts
