Christmas Special ‘How Social Media Changed My Life’ | JSB Talks Digital Episode #26
JSB Talks Digital is a weekly podcast show hosted by social media author, strategist, consultant, speaker and trainer Joanne Sweeney-Burke. Each Friday Joanne shares her digital marketing and social media insights from her work as CEO of Digital Training Institute.
It’s my 2016 Christmas Special
As you can see I was doing more than podcasting last week. I streamed our Christmas Special episode on Facebook Live.
I’ve been using social media for business and personally for nine years and it has now become my No 1 marketing and networking tool. What would you say if I told you that one tweet resulted in me keynoting at a conference in Phoenix, Arizona and selling my books to The Pentagon? Or that my podcast resulted in my being hired by the EPP Group in the EU Parliament?
Or that I win 80% of my business from my social media activities? Would you consider that’s possible for you?
- I ask my special guests Jenny Brennan & Paul O’Mahony how social media has changed their lives.
- Why Santa Claus has embraced social media and how it’s changing his life!
- Shout-outs to three events I have in my diary for the first quarter of 2017.
- We take viewers questions on how to use social media for business; and
- JSB Talks Digital, the Vlog – yes I’m going front of screen!
Paul O’Mahony helps launch JSB Talks Digital the vlog, and I’m getting a fit of the giggles with mortification at the life-size JSB sign 🙂

Shoutouts
So each week in the show I give shout-outs to people who are remarkable online and worth talking about. However, in this week’s show I wanted to share three events that are in my diary for the first quarter of 2017.
I’m going to attempt to unleash the warrior in JSB at this two-day business event taking place in Dublin’s Convention Centre on January 11th & 12th. . Organisers describe it as: “the world’s leading business and self-empowerment summit”.
I attended the event this year for the very first time, and I’m planning to make a return trip. It really is a WOW event with the world’s most talented social media practitioners from content to video, social advertising to tools and so much more. It also provides for fantastic networking opportunities. Did I mention they throw a party for delegates on a US military ship? That’s pretty cool also!

However, check out my blog post on page 1 of Google when you type in Social Media Marketing World, I’ve given you my top 10 highlights of the 2016 event!
- Summit Live UK, From Risk to Revolution takes place from March 27-29 in London and is being organised by Victoria Taylor a previous guest on this podcast. The event promises to deliver tactics on Live & Social Video as well as Disruptive Technologies and looking at how these three elements work together to create the customer experience.
