I love Social Media. Because of that, I follow the top Social Media Gurus. My Favorite is Mari Smith, because she has taken Social Media to a whole new level. That’s why I was so excited when I heard about the Mari Smith and Guy Kawasaki March 28th Event next week.
The event is actually a FREE webinar that Mari will be co-hosting with Guy Kawasaki, the social media and marketing genius..
They are calling it “The 7 Hottest Trends In Social Media”.
And if you didn’t know, Guy Kawasaki is one of the original marketer of Macintosh and Apple. More recently, he is founder of Alltop.com and is a social media giant.
Mari Smith’s motto is “Relationships first, business second.” Her passion revolves around relationships and building new ones. She has strategically utilized her social platforms on Facebook and Twitter, along with a wide variety of other platforms. Because this is EXACTLY my motto, I can tell you I have learned so much by following Mari.
Forbes Magazine cites Mari Smith as one of the top 10 social media experts in “Who are the Top 10 Influencers in Social Media?” She is a highly sought and renowned speaker and teacher in Social Media strategies.
I have been following Mari Smith for a long time now because she has been at the forefront of the Social Media explosion, pioneering the social inroads that Facebook, especially, has made into the once static and mundane world of internet information and marketing.
I believe Social Media is the best platform one can develop in the web 2.0 world of dialogue and interaction. So today, when I heard about this upcoming Free Webinar that Mari Smith has put together, I was totally excited to write this blog post and let everyone know about it.
Hi Donna, I love Mari also, she’s wonderful the way she teaches people about all of Social Media. Fancy her and Guy Kawasaki being on the same call, it will be a GREAT one!
Thanks for sharing with those who didn’t know about the call Donna.

Donna…man I wish I could attend this. I am just starting to see the power of social media for business…and even for certain aspects of life. It’s powerful! I have also been following your work for a while, and I will continue to do so.
I hope your week is off to a great start…and thanks so much for being a leader in the industry. Those of us who are new and starting to see massive results have so much to learn from you. ♥
No worries Christi, If this event is recorded, I will send it out. I’ll will share what I have learned on it too so you can benefit. I am a student of Mari Smith and know her social media platform works!
I am always sharing anything I learn on with my peeps.
Thanks for your comment,

Thanks for sharing this Donna…I am registered for this webinar already. Both Mari and Guy are true visionaries in social media. Mari Smith is truly the Queen of Facebook. I encourage people to follow her. Thanks for bringing this to our tribe…
I just had to Martin! So many of my clients want to know what is the best way to do social media. Mari is the best at it, so I wanted to shout this out.
I was surprised how many people didn’t hear of this event in the Social Media Niche. But with so much going on every day, it is something that can be missed.
Thanks for commenting and I will see you there!

Thank you for posting this Donna. I did not know they were holding this event. For a long time, I was not a social media fan. I don’t really know why, it just wasn’t my cup of tea.
Boy, has that changed. I love the ability to read the viewpoints of other people and to get involved in a real conversation. I don’t honestly know how I ever wanted it to be any other way. 🙂
I guess I will go and get myself signed up. I have not heard either Mari or Guy in a webinar format and it sounds like it is going to be pretty exciting.

Yes Michael, it is going to be exciting. So much so, that is why I just had to put up this blog to tell my peeps about it.
Mari Smith is said to be the “queen of Facebook and social media” This is why I have been following her, and taking some courses. She rocks! Mari has been on line for a long time and there is plenty to learn from her.
I am new to Guy Kawasaki, but after connecting, I’ve learned so much in this past week through his content, it is mind boggling.
See you there!

I will surely join this event as learning new ways of exploring social media has always been my favorite. I have always greatly benefited due to word of mouth rather than costly advertisement in my part time food business. Hope this opens further new ways to get connected with more people on the web.
