SMC Seattle April Event – Ethics, Money and New Ideas
Post by @ShaunaCausey
How exactly do successful bloggers make money with their personal blog? When talking with a company via Twitter, do you ever wonder if you’re really talking to an employee or rather somebody the company has outsourced to be their voice? SMC Seattle’s April event is focused on taking a deep dive into the ethics and best practices of blogging and social media.
Join us at the Seattle Art Museum to hear from a panel of speakers with different points of view, discussing insourcing versus outsourcing, FTC blogging rules, ethics, and best practices of staying successful while staying true to the bottom line. Stay tuned for more information on our panelists in the coming days.
Thanks to our sponsor, Gnomedex, your event admission includes one drink ticket and appetizers from Seattle Art Museum’s catering team. With only 150 tickets available (and a history of sold-out events), reserve your ticket soon to make sure you have a spot.
