social media and your blog
Blogging With Social Media
Blogs, Facebook, and Twitter seem to the be “triad” of communicating with the most people online. Remember that, with these three social media sources at your disposal, your business is in front of as many of your targeted audience as it can get. But it takes a lot of work. Facebook currently has over 500 [...]
Blogs as Social Media Tools
It seems like as of late, “social media” is where it’s at nowadays. The trouble is, everybody gets talked into it but doesn’t have any idea how to use it properly! Many novice users jump in, start “communicating” and then either lose interest right away or get addicted and end up “wasting” productive time during [...]
Social Media Defined
I often get questioned about what really is social media and how can it help my business. I found a great video that breaks it down so anyone can understand the concept of social media. Social media is not for everyone. If you choose to go this route, remember that it takes time and a [...]
Social Media Concerns and Your Business
“With great power, comes great responsibility.” Now if you remember the movie, “Spiderman,” how could you not think about the tremendous pressures on Peter Parker to keep his amazing powers only for the good of the people.

Video on Your Blog
Having written several posts here on video and your blog, it should be obvious that video is a necessary marketing tool for your business. Even if you don’t have a website, you could make a “home made” video, upload it to “Youtube” and add a phone number or other form of contact to your business [...]
Social Media and Blogs
One topic that I don’t talk about as much as other bloggers is social media and how many bloggers “connect” their social sites to their blog. I am talking about “Twitter,” “Facebook,” “Myspace,” “Friendster,” and many other sites that you may already be a member of. Granted, all these sites are very popular now, but [...]
Blog Marketing is Still Relevant
I receive email from business bloggers asking me if having a blog is still relevant to build either an online business or offline business. I responded with YES! As a matter of fact, more people and businesses are going online with a blog than in the previous 5 years combined. If you watch TV lately, [...]
