Back in the day, Phyllis Khare was a state and national award-winning performer, musician and educator known as “Miss Phyllis.” As a touring singer/songwriter for the Iowa Arts Council she received numerous grants and awards for her work. She had the amazing ability to keep 600 kids under the age of 10 mesmerized as she taught them through the power of song, dance, and music.

But, after many long arduous Iowa winters dragging speakers and musical equipment all over the prairie, she packed up her musical career in a large box, put it in the basement, and moved to the beach.

Phyllis makes it fun, and for me, that’s what education should be about, especially Internet learning… I just wish I could take her home with me!

Phyllis and her husband walked on the beach twice a day for two years (“best pretend-retirement-ever” according to Phyllis). During that time she dove into Internet marketing and found she took to it like a fish to water. Always the geekiest of her peers, she focused her attention on the leading edge of social media marketing where she felt the most amazing things were developing.

Her penchant for deep research and relentlessly mastering new skills and tools made her the perfect person to research and write a couple of Dummies books for John Wiley & Sons.

Phyllis is the author of two comprehensive books on social media marketing; Social Media Marketing eLearning Kit for Dummies (a 4-color book with a DVD and online learning environment) and co-author (along with the fabulous Amy Porterfield and Andrea Vahl) of Facebook Marketing All-In-One for Dummies – See all her publications here http://bit.ly/BooksByPhyllis

She’s been a writer for the magazines published by GSG World Media with an online reach of over 14.5 million for each magazine.

Along with Andrea Vahl, Phyllis has created an online learning center for a private group of coaching clients called Social Media Manager School, which is getting rave reviews from the participants.
