Tweetup? Yes, a tweetup. I know many many people on about any social media platform are still in the dark when it comes to a tweetup. In NWIndiana, we have a monthly meetup called #nwitweetup. It is a group of near like minded individuals, that range from teachers, coaches, business owners, and really a wide variety of attendees with a common theme. The use of some sort of social media platform (mainly twitter) and a desire to take the online – offline.
This idea of taking the online offline led me to head a panel at Blog Indiana this past weekend. It is a yearly event brining in speakers from Indiana and across the United States from the likes of a Jason Falls to Kyle Lacy to Doug Karr to me and my panel with Duke Long, Amy Stark, Cheryl Watterson, Dana M. Nelson and Will Hardison. Each one, hosting some sort of tweetup from a Social Media Club, Happy Hour or Meetup/Tweetup.
We discussed:
- how to set-up a Tweetup
- how to advertise
- our Tweetup successes and failures
- how to get everyone to engage and involved
Here is a quick video/audio of the event, where I speak of the power and ROI of a tweetup.
I want to thank all of those that were on the panel, attended the panel or watched it via blogindiana.tv live stream and asked some killer questions. I am working on step by step plan on how to set-up a tweetup and it will be available by Thursday this week.
