In case you missed the previous one, the combination of both sites’ names explains the name of the contest :)

This time our theme is “Making your business amazing” and we’re also delighted to announce the sponsorship of Hewlett-Packard with some great prizes for the winners of the contest!

The idea is to give your articles extra online visibility, reward your social networking and an opportunity for you to win prizes to help you promote your business.

Here’s how it works:

  1. If you’d like to participate, simply create a post in your area of business expertise and submit it to the Bloggertone community on the theme of “Making your business amazing.”
  2. Submissions will be accepted from Monday Aug. 30th through  Sept 6th (You can send your article here.)
  3. The posts will be added to BizSugar.com and people will vote for their favourites and comment both at Bloggertone and BizSugar

The prizes:

  • First prize, products and/or the equivalent in gift certificates valued at $350 from Hewlett-Packard for the post garnering the highest number of “sweets” (votes) on BizSugar.
  • Second prize, $250 in products and/or gift certificate value for the most engaging comment as selected by the judges on either the BizSugar or Bloggertone site.

We believe it’s a great way to share and reach out to our audience and will continue to explore this method throughout the year.
We had a brainstorming session a few months ago about how could we share more value through a different channel than the blog or social networks, and the idea of the webinars came up.  It takes a good few days of preparation to deliver 1 webinar hour per month, but we’ll try to be consistent and bring you topics of interest, LIVE!

The first one was : “How to build your business network with social media” and as promised, we compiled all the relevant info below:

  • Full recording of the webinar
  • The slides
  • The conversation thread under the Twitter tag #sm4biz
  • Some questions…

Subscribe to Channelship’s You Tube channel

The slides are already available on our Slideshare account!

My Power Point slides also contributed to the Twitter conversation :)

We’re looking forward to have you on our next free monthly webinar:  “Social Media for Sales & Marketing Departments“.
