The Social Marketing session on day one of the Xbiz Summit covered profiting from alternative traffic sources like Myspace, Twitter and Facebook. The panel was Moderated by Peter Housley CEO of Naughty Tweet Network. The panel included Kelly Shibari from The PRSM Group, Lauren MacEwen from 7 Veils Media , Joanne Cachapero Membership Director at Free Speech Coalition, Christophe Peyras aka Frenchie from Streamate, Sam from MyPornProfile.com, and Paige Little from SexyLittlePaige.com.

The session started with suggestions on how to be successful on Twitter. Kelly Shibari suggests that you be personal, reply to tweets @ you and post news and videos that you find interesting. Joanne Cachapero agreed that you need to show off your personality as well as posting videos and news. She also felt Myspace is considered to be dead pretty much at this point. Lauren MacEwen suggests you access your end users through twitter and that customers like being able to tweet you. She suggests you build sales by making connections through Twitter and if your customers like you they will tell their friends. Sam suggests you have contests and give things away to your Twitter followers.

After warming up after the bus tour, a couple of us headed out to Greek Town and The Parthenon, a Greek restaurant I had the pleasure of dining at a few years ago. If you like Greek food, and are in Chicago, this place is tough to beat. Be sure to bring an appetite. After dinner, I headed over to The Hunt Club for the Speakeasy Social, sponsored by Netbilling.

You get a different perspective when you are not the one doing the driving.
