Title:

Shameless Self Promotion Without Looking Like an @#$%^&!

Your vote:
Yes No
Organizer:
Twanna Hines, Funky Brown Chick
Description:
Too often, individuals and businesses take advantage of someone else's turf and excuse it as "shameless self promotion." It's not acceptable and it can lead to you being labeled a spammer or worse. In this panel, we'll tell you how to promote yourself without turning others off.
Questions
Answered:
  1. When is it cool to link to my site on an online community?
  2. Who do I ask if I'm not sure it's OK to promote myself?
  3. Are all communities the same?
  4. How does my approach change for different types of online communities?
  5. What's the difference between accepted self promotion and spam?
  6. What's the worst that can happen if I handle this incorrectly?
  7. I work in PR and I'd like to reach out to the online community. How do I do it without looking pushy or inexperienced?
