These are the top 10 takeaways from Kim Garst’s Boom Social 2015 in Chicago
The 2015 Boom Social event, held in Chicago, was one of the most informative, helpful and inspiring events I have ever attended.
I was delighted to meet Kim Garst in person and express my gratitude and excitement for all that she shares to help us in our social media marketing.
Every social media platform was included in the two full days of training … Pinterest, LinkedIn, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Periscope.
It would be an arduous task to elaborate on ALL the training and knowledge shared at the event in one blog post, so I’m sharing these top takeaways from the Boom Social 2015 event.
Email STILL rules! It’s been said the money is in the list … that’s wrong. The relationship AND the money is in the list. – Kim Garst
Hesitation is the enemy of hustle. –Nathan Latka
Pinterest is not a social network, it’s a bookmark. –Peg Fitzpatrick Author of The Art of Social Media
Don’t write for SEO, but don’t write without SEO in mind. –Emeric Ernault
If you are not building your email list, then you are wasting over 90% of your marketing $$$ & efforts. -Syed Balkhi
Your Instagram hashtags fall into one of these areas. Use CLEEPS to help you remember! Category,location,emotion, event, product, services. -Sue B. Zimmerman
Correlation does not equal causation. –Joshua Parkinson, founder of Post Planner.
Visibility creates opportunity and social media can be used as either a soapbox or a mountain top to stand on to get your message heard.-Viveka Von Rose ,author of LinkedIn Marketing: An Hour a Day

You didn’t start a business to hide under a bushel, you started your business to change your life and to impact other lives. -Kim Garst
These leaders taught, inspired and shared their experiences and tips to an audience of eager entrepreneurs from all over the world.
My recommendation to you is to get on their lists and begin receiving more of their valuable content and knowledge. (click on the name after each quote to subscribe to their list.)
Most of all, get connected to Kim Garst so that when Boom Social 2016 rolls around, you will grab a seat at one of the best events to help you focus and grow your business.
And finally, keep this first and foremost as you explore and consider all the social media platforms.
CHOOSE ONE TO MASTER.
It’s definitely exciting and enticing to try to juggle ALL of the various social media sites, but you will end up overwhelmed, exhausted and more like a plate spinner in a circus act rather than a productive business owner.
In the coming days, week and yes, even months, I’ll be sharing more of what I learned at Boom Social 2015.
