Facebook seminar in Phuket tomorrow

PHUKET: Following his standing-room-only Facebook presentation last month, PhuketSchool.com director Sitthichai “Mr X” Laoveerakul will present a follow-up seminar tomorrow night.

The seminar at The Nap hotel in Patong last month drew about 70 people, possibly the largest computer-related gathering ever in Phuket, said Phuket IT guru Woody Leonhard.

That event focused on using Facebook to publicize businesses, charities and other organizations. Mr Sitthichai went through the basics of getting started with a “Fan Page” and strategies for getting the page noticed and used.

Starting at 7pm at The Nap’s 76 Bar, tomorrow night’s seminar will cover:

• Setting Up: Did you get your Fan Page set up correctly?

• Attractiveness: What to put on your Fan Page.

• Advertising: How do you get the word out? How do you make your Facebook advertising cost effective?

• Case Studies: How companies, organizations and individuals promote their pages – what works, what doesn’t.

Mr Leonhard will moderate the proceedings.

The seminar is free and open to anyone who is interested.

The presentation, slides and discussion will be in English.

The series is sponsored by The Nap hotel, 76 Hour lounge, Khun Woody’s Sandwich Shoppes and the Phuket Gazette.

Seating is limited. To reserve a place, email woody@khunwoody.com
