Ignite502 First Time Experience

August 27, 2009 · 2 comments

I had the pleasure of presenting at the inaugural Ignite502 Louisville event last night, put on by Paul Sizemore and Devin Ellis and had a really good time with it. My presentation was called “Thank You for Spamming Me” and it goes over the finer points of spamming people on large social networks to create your very own niche community.

I feel that I am able to speak intelligently on this topic, as it was my methodology for creating LouisvillePM… a community of about 300 project managers in and around the Louisville area. The moral of the story was that I had a 40% success rate in linking to and then spamming project managers to join my community, and you can too. You can catch my presentation below:

I really dug the Ignite format and have started thinking about what I can talk about when the next one rolls around. For more information on the Ignite format, check out the video below:
