To highlight this service, SPAN is offering a virtual tour of its new online community on March 3, 2010, at 6:00 pm (EST). Attend this complimentary webinar by registering at the following location: SPANnet.org/page/virtual-tour-webinar.
Since 1996, SPAN (a nonprofit trade association) has supported its members through education, group buying discounts, and advocacy. Continuing in this tradition, SPANnet.org recently launched as a free social networking site. SPANnet.org features a "My Page" section which provides users a personal profile, links to their other web resources, photos of book covers, and a comment wall. Most importantly, members receive the benefit of their own blog. This is extremely important in today's on-line marketing environment, because authors and publishers need to establish expertise and continue to develop content. Blogging is an excellent way to start this process.
The "Groups" section of the community unites members in discussions ranging from book production to publishing entrepreneurship, and E-Books to Digital Printing. The site also offers a forum, chat room, and video/photo posting services. SPANnet.org creates a community that will educate authors and publishers in ways to build more successful businesses.
SPAN's Executive Director, Scott Flora says: "Our association has always provided profitable benefits to our members, and the goal of the new online community is to contribute in an even larger way to the success of authors and publishers. I invite everyone to join us for this virtual tour of our online community by registering at SPANnet.org/page/virtual-tour-webinar"
The virtual tour of SPAN's new social community is at 6:00 pm (EST), on March 3, 2010. For more information on SPAN visit the web site at SPANnet.org, or contact Scott Flora, Executive Director, at 719-475-1726.
