Course description
I'm constantly amazed at how under-appreciated Twitter is as a relationship-building platform.
At Social Media Marketing World 2018 in San Diego, I earned the title of the event's No. 1 Twitter influencer. This distinction comes with no crown, no official prize, and no substantive fanfare – but I can assure you there is plenty of residual value to be had from that experience.
We all know that social media can be an extraordinary time-suck. Heck, I still spend way too much time sitting around watching Instagram Stories content, Snapchat stories, etc. …
But social media at its best – and especially Twitter – gives us an unprecedented opportunity to connect with the people that we need the most – whether it's prospective clients, successful industry leaders, conference organizers, or even just those with whom we share a passion and/or emotional connection.
All the answers are right there in front of you – and this document is going to walk you through exactly how I've mastered it.

Chris Strub is a millennial keynote speaker, author of '50 States, 100 Days: The Book,' an experienced social media consultant and the first person to live-stream and Snapchat in all 50 U.S. states. In June 2017, Chris was the Facebook Live host for the Big Brothers Big Sisters of America National Conference in San Diego, and five months later, he partnered with The Salvation Army US to complete the 'Fight For Good Tour' -- a 25-state, 38-day road trip to raise funds for the organization's Red Kettle Campaign. These days, he works as the 'Giving Day Guy' to amplify the causes of thousands of nonprofits in cities around America.
In the summer of 2015, Chris visited all 50 U.S. states in 100 days, volunteering with different youth-related nonprofit and community organizations, and using live-streaming and Snapchat to share their stories. The trip was featured in more than 35 news outlets nationwide, including FOX 5 NY, ABC 6 Philadelphia, The Lansing State Journal, The Lowell (Mass.) Sun, the Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser and more. In 2016, Chris worked as a traveling social media consultant with Humana through their 'Bold Goal' initiative, working directly with more than 40 organizations in seven cities around the southeastern U.S.

Chris's list of keynotes includes MarketEd.Live in Nottingham, UK; SocialROCK Conf in Rockford, Ill.; the Business Vlog Summit in Las Vegas; and Social Media Day Houston. Chris was one of the top-rated speakers at Social Media Marketing World 2019 in San Diego, and has been one of the top two Twitter influencers at the event in 2018 & 2019, according to Metricool. In August 2019, Chris will speak at the inaugural Nonprofit Social Media Summit in Boston.
In the fall of 2018, Chris moved to Greenville, S.C. to launch the 'Giving Day Guy' brand, partnering with local and regional giving days around the U.S. Chris has worked with giving days in San Antonio (The Big Give), St. Louis (Give STL Day) and Louisville, KY (Give for Good Louisville), helping each day leverage live-streaming video and other social media channels to multiply their exposure and drive donations.
Prior to his entrepreneurial work in the social media industry, Chris spent two years as the social media director at Ad Elements, a New York advertising agency; and seven years at the Press & Sun-Bulletin, a Gannett publication in Binghamton, N.Y. Chris graduated from Binghamton University in 2007 with a double major in Economics and English, General Literature & Rhetoric.
