More about Michael…

Michael Stelzner is the founder of Social Media Examiner—a popular online magazine
that helps businesses answer social media questions with useful “how to” articles, in-
depth case studies, expert interviews, and original research. He’s author of the new
book Launch: How to Quickly Propel Your Business Beyond the Competition. He also
authored the book Writing White Papers: How to Capture Readers and Keep Them
Engaged and the Social Media Marketing Industry Report.

As an innovative thought leader and experienced marketer, Stelzner has gained the
full respect of social media leaders and business marketing experts alike. In less than
18 months, SocialMediaExaminer.com grew from infancy to boasting over 74,000
subscribers and is now listed as the #1 small business blog in the world according to
Technorati. He also pioneered the highly popular Social Media Success Summits, which
have sold out for two years in a row—in the middle of the worst economic downturn
since the Great Depression. The principles that Stelzner teaches are the very concepts
that helped him build two highly successful businesses that made him a leading expert
in both industries.
