About

Deborah Smith: Avid Online Marketer, Social Media Consultant

I have been using Social Media for 12 years.  That’s right, well before there was Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn, there were message boards, chat rooms and email groups.  Back in 1998, I launched my first business which owns and operates several websites serving the Nanny Industry.  I used the ancient ancestors of today’s Social Media platforms to network with industry influencers and to market my websites, including NannyClassifieds.com and 4EverythingNanny.com.  Two years ago, I launched a social network just for nannies, called NannyIsland.com.  NI has over 800 members and is a great example of how businesses can own and operate their own social network to complement their business.

In 2007,  I launched what was to become a very successful cooking and restaurant blog called JerseyBites.com.  Jersey Bites now welcomes approximately 8000 unique users per month and has a Google Page Rank of 5.   In 2010 we will be launching Hyper-local Jersey Bites blogs throughout New Jersey.  I began using Twitter and Facebook to promote Jersey Bites two years ago, and quickly realized the huge potential for businesses on today’s Social Media Sites.  Today, Twitter.com/jerseybites has over 2700 followers and 500 fans on Facebook.  I am an avid “Tweeter” and can show anyone how to use this tool properly and with purpose.

Experienced Public Speaker & Social Media Motivator

Results-driven online marketing starts with knowledge, and I have spoken to groups large and small throughout the tri-state area about the intricacies of social media today. From sessions for starters that leave participants with a social media “tool kit” to advanced tactics that empower those already in the know, my workshops can be tailored to any knowledge level.

I also work with businesses and organizations throughout the region to help them develop or fine-tune their own social media strategy through special workshops or one-on-one consulting.
