A message from Dan O’Day...
The First Time Someone Told Me About Twitter, This Was My Response:
“That is the single stupidest idea I’ve ever heard!”
(I apologize to my grade school grammar teachers. But “stupidest” is the word I used. Even if it’s not really a word.)
This is not “Twitter 101.” But if you’re a Twitter veteran, we will revisit many elements you’ve overlooked, misused, underused…or never even thought about.
If you’ve only just begun (or haven’t yet begun) on Twitter, don’t worry. I promise to teach you all my advanced strategies in simple, plain English. You won’t have trouble “keeping up” with everyone else.
Why the following people at your radio station should have their own
Twitter accounts:
Station Manager
Sales Manager
Account Executives
Program Director
Music Director
Radio Personalities
Producers
Imaging Directors
Promotion/Marketing Directors
News Directors
Promotion Interns
Program Interns
The Station Engineer (No, I'm not kidding.)
The Station Receptionist (Still not kidding.)

Wasn't sure how much I was going to get out of this, but I was blown away! I am looking at Twitter with a whole new eye for not only the mindless tweets we had been sending out but plenty of inside stuff I'd have never found time to dig up. Man, I can't wait to start expanding that growing list of followers for our Morning Show and really tickle them in all the right places. Well worth the $$. Again, thank you!

Good stuff on designing our profiles and how to customize our tweets so our listeners have a reason to follow. I also enjoyed your details on how each person with a different capacity at the station can use it in different ways. Oh, and great research on the sites and apps to use to make our experience better.

One of the most eye-opening and valuable marketing seminars I have attended in my 40 plus years in radio. Can't wait to implement many of your imaginative tactics.

Plenty of useful tips. I went in not knowing a great deal about Twitter but left feeling I could take on any teenager in a debate on its valuable uses ! I look forward to setting up my bio in the correct way and introducing the power of Twitter to our listeners.

Lots of people teach "How to Use Twitter" but this is the only training I've found that ties Twitter into our primary goals of reaching, serving and keeping more listeners. Two of the tips — how to use YouTube videos to increase website traffic and how to discover who is already Tweeting in your listening area — were worth the price of the seminar. While we are behind the curve in that we're just starting to use Twitter, I'm almost glad we haven't gotten into it yet, so that I can implement your advice. Thanks for a great seminar!

The main thing I took away from the seminar was how important it is to strategically follow people and how that can benefit your station. Good stuff...glad we were a part of it!

At first I was skeptical of the seminar because I consider myself a Twitter expert. I didn’t think I would get a lot out of the seminar, I was the geek in the room, amongst the staff of our radio team. ”
Boy was I wrong. You have great ideas on effectively using Twitter for radio stations and your advice applies to anyone who wants to benefit by using Twitter. I learned a lot and can use that information to help others.

I've recently been placed in charge of "social networking" and how to use that for our station. Your seminar was much like taking a drink from a fire hydrant. Lots of great information. I have begun to make some changes based on what we've learned and re-created my Twitter page and a personality for the station. Also my GM wants to implement your "help desk" idea, too. Great job, well thought through and very helpful!

Your seminar on Twitter got my staff so excited that all of us created our own Twitter accounts while listening to it. All of us got a lot more out of this than any of us expected. I can't wait to listen to the mp3 again because there was so much valuable information that I know I missed some of it.
