Quick Marketing With Meetup And PR On The Internet

Meetup gogo.

How long will we be in Lockdown? How long will be working from home, or having to communicate with people in the same office by using online conference calls instead of sitting around a table together in a small meeting room? It looks like we shall need to continue to meet online for some time.

When I wrote on Meetup a post promoting my meeting of Braddell Heights Toastmasters Club on Wednesday May 13th at 7 pm on App learncool.sg , I was delighted to find I could instantly also promote it on Twitter and Facebook and LinkedIn.😃😃👌

The link took me through to twitter, and the brief link to the Meetup website was already inserted. All I had to do was agree to post. Click. Done.

The LinkedIn page in addition asked me if I wanted to write a post. I had been wanting to write promotional posts for years but not done so.

I started my first post promoting my speakers' training club.

Although I had paid, and later reclaimed from the club, the money for the subscription to Meetup for one year, I had the added benefits of quickly reaching three other platforms.

Earlier in the year my PR for the club had asked what she should do. Her job, the one she is keen on, is doing posters. It has taken me most of a year to grasp the essentials of prmotion on line, and to know enough to brief an incoming PR.

Fortunately, as Immediate Past President, I shall be on hand, on call, to help the next wave of committee members.

How To Enhance Photos And Guard Privacy At Public Events

Photos of events can be used to promote your group. But some poeple may not want their photos taken. What do you do about using photos of a large group?

First you tell the audience that a group photo might be used for publicity anywhere on the web.

Pre-event notice.
At one large (Toastmasters) event the published pre-event material said that pictures of the audience could be used in future publicuty and if we did not want to be photographed we should not attend and if we attended we were deemed to have consented.

Pre-Group Photo Annoncement
At a smaller club meeting where you all gather for a photo at the front of the room, you might need to cinform visitors that the photo will appear on a Facebook page.

If they don't want to be in the photo they can take the photo.

What about roaming photographers?
Roaming photographers might take pictures of individuals watchin the presentation. If I were a photographer I might suggest that those who do not want to be photographed should subtly raise their programme sheet or notebook to obscure their face,

Masks At A Fancy Dress Party
You could give out masks to those who want to remain anonymous. For example, you have a Xmas party with everybody raising glasses but one of your guests has privacy issues, or is Muslim, or teetotal, or the head of an organization and thinks it looks undignified. You can have masks available.

I discovered this by accident. I wore a black mask picked up with the fancy hats at a large party. When the photo came out I did look mysterious and sexy. But you had know idea who I was. So as prmotion the mask was a failure, but for concealing identity it worked perfectly.

I had been hoping to keep the mask, but the masks and hats were supplied by the organizers of another club and by individuals. However, when I saw that the mask concealed my identity, Irealised that it would have been useless to me as self-promotion.

About Angela Lansbury, travel writer

About

About and Contact Details
Who am I?

I am Angela Lansbury - yes, that's my real name. If it sounds familiar to you, that because there's at least one other. Somebody once asked me, Are you THE Angela Lansbury. I replied, as far as I and my family are concerned, yes, I am THE Angela Lansbury. There is another one.

At that time two Angela Lansbury ladies existed, me and the actress. We have more than just the name in common. We both had fathers from the East End of London, but spoke perfect, clear English,  and we both had a son called Anthony. And we both wrote.

I discovered there was a third writer called Angela Lansbury. She wrote fiction and I wrote practical books. My dream was to write fiction, to be a classic author, like Charlotte Bronte.

My latest look at LInkedIn revealed that the numbers of people called Angela Lansbury had risen to thirteen. I wrote earlier about the pleasure and problems and confusion when more than one person has the same name. Equity won't allow it. They don't want payments going to the wrong person. Singapore insisted that you give your NRIC number, and ID number, like a passport number, as proof of identity. In England doctors and banks and insurance companies tend to use your birthday as a second way of ascertaining who is who.

Books
I am a travel writer. I write articles about travel. I have written about twenty books. The first book I wrote was Enquire within Upon Travel and Holidays.

Ten of my books were published by mainstream publishers. I have self published another ten and I always have there or four books not he go.

You can read about me and my books on www.Amazon.com and www.Lulu.com

Contacts
If you want to meet me, I belong to two Toastmasters Speakers Groups in London, (usually your first two or three meetings are free). In Singapore I belong to another club and go to a club every night, speaking, or evaluating speeches or judging competitions.

Messages
If you want to send a message, I am on Facebook and LinkedIn. I am more likely to reply if you can write a sensible, grammatically correct sentence and spell correctly, which is quite likely if you have read this far. If your fist language is not English, I suggest you get the free ad Grammarly which checks both grammar and spelling. That ap includes punctuation.

www.facebook.com
www.grammarly.com

Like most people I prefer praise to blame, though I am always interested in extra information and the polite correction of an occasional error which we hope gets spotted by one person before all the others have seen it.

If there's a place you would like to know about I can research it. If there's a book you would like me to write, please tell me. It's always encouraging to know a book has at least one potential reader.

All the people called Angela Lansbury - and all the people sharing your name

Problem
How many people are called by your name?

Answer
When I was aged about 21 in New York there were only two people called Angela Lansbury. I had thought I was the only one. But the hotel receptionist remembered my name. When I went out into the street I could see why. The name Angela Lansbury, the actress, was in lights across the streets of New York.

Until this time last year I thought there was a maximum of four people called Angela Lansbury. Then a website asked me to give my LinkedIn details. I looked up my name and was horrified to discover that there were as many as 13 people just on Linkedin.

Writers
What do I and the actress have in common, apart from our mutual name? We are both writers.

Sons with the same names
We both have a son called Anthony. (The actress has more children.)

Sleeping In The Nude
What do we not have in common? I read that the actress sleeps in the nude. I never sleep in the nude. I am a travel writer and travel a lot. I have never been in a hotel fire but I have been in at least two hotels where the fire alarm rang and we had to get out of the hotel sharpish, just in case.

You don't want to be hunting around in the dark for your clothes when the lights go out and the fire alarm rings. Well, maybe you do. But I don't.

Greetings to all the people who share my name and all those who want to read about people who share names.

I went around a conference recently asking all the people how many other people had the same name. On Facebook you often find several. I have other posts on the Name Angela Lansbury, and on sharing your name with other people. Please share links to your favourite posts.
