I can imagine the expenses related to the Social Media Expedition breakfasts musts be high. You have worked so hard to provide quality information and content. I’ve come away from every meeting not only jazzed about social media but with a head full of new and useful knowledge.

I’m excited about the new changes and additional learning opportunities.

Looking forward to March!

Thanks for your supportive responses. I’ve got a great feeling that we’ll be constantly evolving over the next year. Much like we have our first year.

Podcasting is on the radar. For the last 3 months, we’ve had a Social Media Expedition segment on the Small Biz Show that airs on Saturday morning (terrestrial radio). It’s a weekly update of the biggest social news we can cram into 7 minutes.

I totally understand some of your reasons behind the fee. Not too long ago i tried to run a Luncheon montly meeting around eLearning and it was extremely difficult to continue even after university sponsorship. So from that stand point i am totally in support with you on the pricing. Ideas about the video and other content being available is reasonable too. How about doing some podcasting?

I think the value is definitely there to justify a price increase, and really taking SM Expedtion to a membership model is a solid step toward building the future of the organization. I am very interested in the membership content element. Our group has diverse interests and participation levels in the social media, and I think the “training content” would make us even more cohesive.

Dave – Great news about the Membership Content and audio training being available soon.

The increase in price is definitely worth it in my book. The meetings have been a wonderful source for my on-going Social Media education. The audio training will only enhance this experience.
Hats off to LunaWeb!
