Many businesses have begun dabbling in social media, but between Facebook and Pinterest the Internet landscape can be a bit overwhelming.

From 5 to 8 p.m. April 18, the workshop at Lake Forest City Hall, 25550 Commercentre Drive, will provide business owners with tips to leverage social media and digital marketing, as well as measure the success of their Internet marketing.

Presenter Nader Nemati, who has more than 20 years of experience in information technology, sales, operations and management with Fortune 500 companies such as Honeywell, Sears & Roebuck, and AlliedSignal, will lead the workshop.
Attendees will also learn the meaning of the acronyms SEO, CTR, PPC, CPM mean and how social networking (Twitter, Facebook) and Web 2.0 tools (blogs, podcasts) can help grow and market a business.
