About

This is the English site and blog for Erno Hannink. There is also a Dutch version on ErnoHannink.nl.

My business is to help independent professionals, solopreneurs and solo entrepreneurs use Social Media to get more clients.

Initiator of Social Media Event, Social Media Club Amsterdam and WordCampNL

Every year in June I’m organising the Social Media Event (in Dutch) in Utrecht, Netherlands. An event to help Small Biz owners using social media get more clients. You can follow this event @socialmediaeven. Laura Babeliowsky from Get Clients Now! is the co-organiser for this event. She is great!

I am also the initiator of the yearly WordCamp Netherlands. You can track us at WordCampNL.org and @wordcampnl. Together with a number of WordPress enthusiasts we organised these events. WordCampNL 2010 is planned for November 6, 2010.

I am the initiator of the first Social Media Club in the Netherlands, Amsterdam. These are monthly meetings and we have an expert talk about a project and discuss with the attendees. You can track us at @SMCAmsterdam and on Facebook, register at SMC Amsterdam.

Author

My first book Attracting Clients – How Independent Professionals and solopreneurs can get new clients using the internet is out in the Dutch book stores, and online. This book helps independent professionals get more clients via the internet using social media. It is a very practical book and explains how to set up a blog, write articles, start an ezine and use online networking. It is in the shops since November 2009 and published by A.W. Bruna.

At the moment I am working on my second and third book. The second book is about picking your niche, and the third book is about Facebook.

Speaker

Regularly you can find me speaking at events or doing a workshop on Getting clients via the internet, Facebook or LinkedIn.
I have also done a series of live video-interviews with experts for independent professionals for RegioZ, Dutch interviews and English video-interviews.
