Navigating Organizations through the web of online promotion
Philadelphia, PA, August 2, 2008--- Promoting an organization's agenda in the
21st century takes an internet presence. But, how does an organization on a
shoestring budget get its information on the internet? With the ongoing Internet
evolution, organizations have more tools at their fingertips than ever before to
accomplish this required self-promotion.
On Monday, August 25, 2008, The Coalition will host a class called, "Using
Blogs to Promote Your Organization" to teach organizations how to use the
internet as an excellent resource for hunting, gathering of resources and
promoting their agendas.
This workshop is an excellent opportunity for grass roots organization to learn
more about a wide range of e-topics, including some fantastic how-to content
for social networks and other tools.
During this 2 hour hands-on workshop, participants will learn: What is a blog?
Why do I/my organization need one? How can I build and maintain a blog for
free? How can I promote my blog? How can I use a blog to generate revenue?
You will also have the ability to participate from the comfort of your own home
via the live webcast for this event. See our Taking Tech to the Streets page for
more information.
Pre-requisites: Proficiency in using Microsoft Word and internet navigation
savvy.

About The Coalition, Inc.
The Coalition, Inc. is a collective of organizations and persons who have
