Innovative Uses of Social Media in MN

“Be like the Internet: Collaborative, Disruptive, Networked” – Scott Hirsch…

If you are looking to get involved in social media groups or just have some fun attending events that can inform you more on social media and internet marketing- I have some exciting news for you. I have been doing research on how people in Minnesota are using social media in innovative ways. I have found some interesting articles and clubs to join that pertain to using social media, so to all Minnesotans- pay close attention to what I am about to tell you so you don’t miss out any fun!Social Media Break Innovative Uses Of Social Media in MN

The Social Media Breakfast is a group that gets together to talk about using social media and social networking tools in their careers. People feed off each other here and have many great ideas to share at this breakfast. The next exciting event that this group is going to be involved here in Minnesota will be at the state fair on September 3. This is the second annual social media breakfast state fair event and will be meeting at the blue Ribbon Picnic Area. (I found on their website that it is in section D24 of your State Fair map). At this event The Social Media Breakfast group will be talking with vendors at the fair who are using social media in their business at the fair. There will be live music throughout our event, some fun activities (Bacon Haiku returns!), and great food. Click on the link at the bottom of the page to purchase tickets and learn more about this social media breakfast group, they have a ton of great information and events to offer.

I also found some interesting clubs that meet here in the Twin Cities to talk and learn about social media. The Social Media Club is a group that according to there website meets to have “small round table discussions on the future of social media and how it relates to our world, business, or organization.  This club meets to chat on engagement, vendors, best practices, ethics, regulation, adoption, and community management. SMC is just a way to discuss these topics with existing groups in the Twin Cities.  This group looks forward to integrating future activities with MIMA, Social Media Breakfast Club Minneapolis, and Twin Cities Interactive Community. The idea of SMC Minnesota is to connect our local conversations with the other chapters in the US including SFO, Boston, Austin, and DC.”

Another group that gets together is the Twin Cities Underground Social Media Society. This is a group that is meant for you if you have any interest in social media and internet marketing (which I believe you all do, or you wouldn’t be reading this ;-) This group allows you to meet and network with top Social Media & Internet Marketing Experts in Minneapolis / St Paul. Many of their events are Free and you will have the opportunity to network with some of the top Social Media and Internet Marketing Experts in the Twin Cities.

From the Underground Society’s site I found that “they pull back the curtains to the intricate details to successfully building online businesses. Often what is taught at these events are techniques our speakers charge hundreds of dollars for in their products and/or services. This group and these events are for anyone using or wanting to use Social Media and Marketing more effectively in their personal or professional businesses. This group meets on the Second Thursday of the month from 6:30-8:30pm at the Sheriton Hotel in Bloomington, MN.”

“You will need to learn the secret handshake to get in…” according to the website : )

Stomper Innovative Uses Of Social Media in MN

The Third and final group that I am going to talk about is a group called Stompers. If you have a busy life but still want to be involved in a social media group, this could be for you. The purpose of this group is for internet marketers of all types, to be able to come together and share information and ideas, to discuss strategies and talk about internet marketing. I found that many people that attend these meetings are “stompers” but is not a requirement to attend their meetings.

The next time this group is meeting is on September 2 @

Keller Williams Realty

2680 Snelling Ave N # 100
Roseville, MN 55113

This is posted Directly from this site but seems pretty informative for anyone interested…”At The Stompernet Meetups we gather as many internet marketers as we can to discuss high level internet marketing techniques. We discuss traffic generation strategies like SEO and PPC as well as Traffic Conversion Strategies. This is a no selling meetup. We do not pitch our products or services (including Stompernet membership).The intent of this meetup is for people who make their living selling stuff online have a good place to get together and share knowledge and get better at what they do. It also doesn’t hurt to have a chance occasionally to talk to other people about internet marketing without their eyes getting that far away glassy look.”

All of these social media groups and events are very welcoming and want you to come and share your ideas. Get involved here in Minnesota with Social Media and Internet Marketing because it is the way of our future.
