Four Common Steps Every New Blogger Would Face When Starting A Blog
Marcell Purham writes about approaching a new blog: design & code, posts & tutorials, building a list of followers, and making money. If you need help with design and code, these are some of the services I can provide.
How to receive notifications when someone posts to your Facebook fan page
If you have a Facebook fan page (and these are really easy to set up and useful for a business or organization), you will discover that you don’t get notifications when it is updated as you do for your personal Facebook account. Pete Codella has a workaround, where you “like” your Facebook fan page update and thus get notified. As you will read in the comments, it’s not perfect, but it could be useful to you.
How small businesses can use Twitter lists
Location, subject or theme and thought leaders are some ideas of how you can organize Twitter lists to the advantage of your business or organization.
How Many of These Social Media Questions Can You Answer?
Shari Weiss is teaching her students about social media. She asks some great questions to get one thinking about social media. I like “How can you detect if someone is insincere?”
Hope you find these useful. As always, feel free to comment on any of these topics.
I completely agree that social media is extremely important, but how do you start using it when you have so many time constraints; running a business daily, plus average daily life other marketing efforts. From the outside it seems like you have to live in that social medium to really understand how to use it and be part of the community. How can you do it when you are already 10-12 work hours per day deep? And how do you avoid the time black hole created in joining social media such as Facebook?
What are some good tips to get started. Baby steps Please. Thanks
Everyone has to answer those questions in their own way. When I set up this blog, for example, I intended to write a post every few days. But if I write a good post once every two weeks, I am happy. You have to set your own schedule and not allow a social medium like Facebook mess it up. If it’s time to get off Facebook and do the pile of work, close it and don’t open it until the X time or Y work has been done.
One would hope that some of the time spent online is instead of some of the traditional marketing methods.
I just saw some starlings yesterday flying over Raritan Avenue.
