One of the core beliefs I have about Social Media is that it gives everyone the potential of an equal voice or platform.
It's no longer necessary to have an agent or publisher or gallery to get a foothold (though if you're good, those will become necessary to continue climbing). One of the ways to get a foothold is by using Social Media to connect, collaborate, and communicate what's working and what's not online. We'll have free Wi-Fi and who knows…maybe a workshop breaks out.
Starting on March 23rd, and on the 3rd Tuesday of each month, Panera Bread at 4150 Westown Pkwy, West Des Moines, IA (map) will host Artists on the Rise – Social Media for Creatives from 6-8pm.
Painters, Foodies, Poets, Singers, Landscapers, Writers, Musicians, Jewelers, Crafters, Design … bring your community and creative spirits.
As with Central Iowa Bloggers (aka #CIB), this is a wholly and total community thing. I'll be there to help build connections and conversations, and may even lead a few discussions on some cool tools that creatives and hobbyists might find valuable.
I hope to see you there.

Find Your Social Media ROI
I hear it from a lot of business owners: “Where is the ROI with all this Social Media?“ If this is a question you ask yourself, maybe we should work together a bit more. We can work together solo, or via a professional learning community. Find and increase your ROI. There is a “there” there.
