Part 1: The Landscape of Social Media – this is the section showing case studies and explaining the larger strategy.

Part 2: Examples of Good Marketing – showcasing some of the great business success stories out there.

Part 3: The Down and Dirty (here’s where I need the help).

I’m going to show participants in these events how to:

• Register a domain with a host.
• Install WordPress or Movable Type application.
• Add plugins, themes, and other customizations.
• Implement basic SEO improvements, and use Website Grader to test and re-test.
• Register the blog in the appropriate directories.
• Implement Google Analytics.
• Claim the blog on Technorati.
• Build a simple listening station using Google Reader. (add appropriate sources to it).
• Build “passports” on the appropriate networks and sites (digg, stumbleupon, twitter, flickr, yelp, etc, etc).
• Find the right “complementary sites” for that blog using services like Alltop. Compile contact info for such.
• Basics of profile building for social networks, including best practices, relevant business information, linking/outpost strategies.
• Build one or two profiles to start the company off on the right track.
• Tagging and metadata usage across platforms (diff between tags in Twitter and Flickr, for instance, and for blogs).
• Basic blog technical skills, including how to link appropriately, how to add pictures, how to embed 3rd party information like YouTube videos.
• Perform basic online etiquette, including the importance of commenting, the value of linking back, the conversational nature of Twitter, Facebook, and other social networks.
• Content marketing basics and starting strategies.

What am I missing? What else haven’t I touched on that I’m just assuming people know, or that I haven’t given enough credit in this layout?

There’s also an Upcoming.org entry if you want to add it.
