Understanding the Internet is essential to creating a sense of expertise and knowledge to help establish your own brand. Additionally, if you know how to read the Internet well, people will see you as a connector and their "go to" resource. Thus, making it easy for people to find you online.

In this class I'll be showing you how to:

• research & discover content to read
• create interesting and recyclable content
• share content you enjoy
• promote valuable content for audiences

You will also see examples of:

• platforms to create content
• sites for content inspiration
• bookmarking & sharing tools

Bring a pen and paper, or better yet, your favorite mobile smartphone or tablet to take notes. Reading the Internet can be a time suck, but I'll give you tips to keep a steady and effective routine.

(this class takes part during Social Media Week New York)

Reading the web is one of the most important parts of my job, as I'm constantly hunting for trending topics to keep up with, new tools and apps to test, articles to respond to, and happenings that will excite the many communities I manage. I help small and local businesses get their start using social media by training them on creating, discovering, and sharing content that will help put them on the map and draw audiences in. Basically, I'm a big nerd for reading online and want to help others grasp this growing knowledge base we call the Internet.
