Unfortunately, due to SlideShare's poor compression, this presentation looks very jagged. For what it actually looks like, please see: https://speakerdeck.com/patrickokeefe/an-introduction-to-monetizing-your-community When people think about monetizing an online community, they often think about display advertising – and for good reason. It is a mature medium with many companies and services that exist to support it. But there is so much more. In this session, we will briefly introduce the myriad of methods that are available to you, discuss how to get started, share tips on how to move past the starting gate and name some of the vendors that you can work with. Since there are several methods to discuss, I aim to give you an idea of what is out there and how you can get to work, allowing you to do further research into the methods that speak to you.

These slides are from my "Online Community Building" presentation for the Social Media Masters Atlanta in Marietta, GA on August 26. The question isn’t whether or not you have a community. Your community – the people who love and support what you do – is out there. The question is how you engage with them. In this workshop, we’ll talk about community management and engagement in spaces you control and spaces you don’t, from Facebook and Twitter to forums and blogs. This is the art of community building on the web, both the good and the bad, steeped in real world experience.

These slides were for "27 (Fun!) Ways to Kill Your Online Community," a solo presentation I delivered at South by Southwest Interactive 2011 on March 13 in Salon K at the Hilton in Austin, TX. As part of the presentation, I discussed 27 ways, beliefs and tactics that would help you to kill your online community as quickly as possible. You could always take these thoughts and do the opposite and not kill your community, but why would you want to do that?

These slides are from the "Ethics and Social Media Marketing" panel at BlogWorld & New Media Expo 2010. It was delivered on October 16, 2010 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Joining me on the panel was Brandon Eley, Jason Baer and Jeremy Wright. We discussed the importance of ethical social media marketing, including the tenets of both ethical and unethical campaigns. Among other topics were the selection of a digital agency and ensuring that the agency represents you in an ethical and responsible manner.
