OCCRWA’s April Class: Social Media for the Confused and Terrified, with Elena Dillon

On April 14th we’ll kick off an online class taught by our own Elena, Dillon, and she’s with us here today to talk about the class. Take it away, Elena:

So, Iâ€™m a little bit of an information junkie. I love technology. I love gadgets and I love learning new things. When Social Media came about I knew Iâ€™d found a new love–all the stuff Iâ€™m enamored with in one place.

When a new Social Media platform launches I want to check it out. Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Pinterest and Instagram. My kids are horrified. â€œMom, thatâ€™s not for you. Thatâ€™s for young people.â€ Hmmm. Not so much. Really the only new one I havenâ€™t started using is SnapChat. I value my sleep and I know my children will be sending me SnapChats all night if I get an account there.

Besides I really donâ€™t have time for any more, I have books to write!

This April Iâ€™ll be teaching a class for Orange County RWA called â€œSocial Media for the Confused and Terrifiedâ€. If you couldnâ€™t tell by the title itâ€™s for anyone who is a beginner at Social Media, anyone who has been putting it off because they donâ€™t want to go to the trouble of figuring it out, and anyone who isnâ€™t tech savvy.

The class is geared for Romance Writers but anyone can use it. I have tons of resources, videos and podcasts to learn from step by step. I will be teaching as much as I can about as many platforms as I can fit in. The class is going to be more of a workshop format. None of this “sit back and just absorb the information”! Weâ€™re going to be doing. Weâ€™re going to be helping each other and building our audience.

Donâ€™t be overwhelmed. Donâ€™t be scared. If you need to learn how to manage your Social Media marketing and platforms, this is the class for you.

We will be using each platform but weâ€™ll be doing it together. So sign up. No excuses. Iâ€™m going to make it easy. And weâ€™re going to have fun doing it.

Thanks, Elena. Sign up, everyone! No excuses, it’s easy, just go here.
