We'll walk you through the five main areas of the site, elaborate on the features as we designed them, and how to use them:

Your Profile: self promotion & visibility on the site
Events: hosting & attending
Membership: using the directory & your Biznik network
Biz Talk: online socializing & discussions
Articles & Tips: writing, rating & commenting

This workshop will be focused on questions YOU bring to the table - so come prepared to ask a lot of them.

Introductions start at 6:30.
Workshop & questions til 8:30.
Networking til 9.

What members say about the event

"I just became a member a few weeks ago and was so glad that you held this informative event. It was a whirlwind, but I appreciated how much you packed into the session. I was already excited about biznik and had been spreading the word, but now I'm even more amped up about it. This is an incredible resource you've created and I have no idea why a small business owner would be part of any other networking service (online or in person). You have them all beat, hands down. Thank you!"

I'm looking forward to meeting you all, as well. I will talk briefly about the new Video Profile feature of Biznik at this event. If you are interested in exploring video profiles more fully, I'd recommend this workshop, which I'll be co-hosting: https://biznik.com/events/2008/4/8/create-a-successful-video-profile-workshop.

We'll be hosting one of these once a month in Seattle, so if you prefer not commute to Bellevue at 6pm, watch the May calendar.

Unfortunately I can't make it to the Bellevue one and will be out of town for all of May, so if no one cancels this time around, I guess I'll have to wait until June. I'll watch the numbers here as the date approaches, just in case....

Annika - I'm going to switch over to the Bellevue event on the same topic on the 28th ... date and location work better for me. You can take my spot for this week's event.

Thanks so much! Spot taken!
Posted by Valerie Farris, Seattle, Washington | Apr 16, 2008

I am so sorry to have to cancel! I just had an unavoidable conflict come up. I'm sure someone else will snap up my spot, and can't wait to attend the next one.

Best,

Thank you Lara (and Dan) for a very informative presentation. I came away with new ideas and better knowledge about how to use Biznik more effectively. I highly recommend this event to new and "old" members.

I videotaped this evening's event, and I'm going to post a link to it here when I've got it digitized. It's long (two hours) but if you want to learn about most of Biznik's features and they're designed to be used, it'll be worth a peek for those of you who couldn't make it.

Thank you Lara and Dan, this was just what I needed to help me learn the ins and outs of Biznik. I had no idea how robust the site is. I am excited about all the possiblilites. Bonnie

Thanks Lara and Dan for putting this event together, it was awesome! I had no idea there were so many "Easter eggs", "Google juice", etc embedded into the website...who knew?
