Kim Tranter
Hi, I'm Kim Tranter, Owner of U Learn Social Media and co-owner of Crazy Otto's Empire Diner.
In 1991 my husband and I bought our first restaurant. By 2006, we had successfully opened and operated 12 restaurants. It was always my job to handle everything behind the scenes, while he handled day-to-day operations. I continue to handle payroll, bookkeeping, insurance, marketing and so forth. I handle all the business issues for the diner such as employment issues, insurance, advertising, etc. It takes a hands-on owner/operator to know what I'm talking about. It's a challenge to stay one step ahead.
Shortly after we purchased and refurbished our new diner in Herkimer NY in 2007, the recession hit. Being forward thinkers, we knew that we had to do something different to market our diner than we had ever done in the past. I immediately got busy including the diner in gps systems to enable travelers to find us easily. Little did I know I was beginning my walk in social media.
As a result of our businesses and my love of everything internet, in 2008 I began an extensive and exhaustive five month training in social media being privately mentored by a social media strategist. Following my training with her, I began to handle my social media accounts, consistently expanding my education, attending seminars and webinars and continuing to train with some of the best consultants I can find.
In 2010, I began teaching social media and social media strategy as a Non-Credit Social Media Instructor at Herkimer County Community College. I teach on all platforms of social media marketing including LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, the Google programs, Pinterest and many more. In addition to handling private accounts, I pass on my knowledge to entrepreneurs, small business owners and business professionals in seminars and guest speaking events.
My experience has shown me that I need to keep ahead of the game if I expect my businesses to prosper and continue to grow. I can pass that working knowledge on to others. No one knows what works better than one who is actually doing it in a thriving and growing business.
ULearnSocialMedia.com is conveniently located in Central New York in Herkimer, NY, Utica, NY, the Mohawk and Kuyahoora Valleys.
I am very honored to now be a community blogger for the Utica Observer Dispatch. You can read my articles at www.uticaod.com/blogs/socialmedia.
