Interested in joining a supportive group to make better use of social media?

A great way to do this is through a “Mastermind Group” focused on Social Media.  BAIPA’s first meeting to organize a group will be 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 after the general meeting Saturday, Sept. 13 at the Key Room in Novato.

Mastermind groups, generally speaking, offer brainstorming, education, peer accountability and support in a group setting to sharpen your skills.

Members of the group challenge each other to set goals and accomplish them and share knowledge and skills. The group requires commitment, confidentiality, willingness to be creative and brainstorm with honesty, respect and compassion.

Mastermind groups evolve according to agreement among the members and typically act as catalysts for growth, devil’s advocates and supportive colleagues.

Shari Weiss, a social media expert, will lead the discussion.

If you have any interest in this, bring your Internet device. You can attend even if you know very little about social media. If you will be online remember to bring your social media passwords.

Becky Parker Geist, BAIPA President, CEO of Pro Audio Voices Inc and AMPlify Audiobooks

One of my favorite things about BAIPA is its culture of generosity, the willingness — even eagerness — to share what we have each learned in the process of bringing stories to life. We provide educational programs, networking, marketing opportunities, encouragement, and information on industry vendors and services. And lots of one-on-one advice and mentoring.

We welcome all who have an interest in making connections within the world of independent publishing and learning more about how to publish and sell their work successfully. Together we are raising the standard of independent publishing and helping our members thrive.

Do join us!

—Becky Parker Geist, BAIPA Board of Directors, President
