I posted the following words about RTing (retweeting) on the Link4Growth subscriber forums earlier this evening, but figured it’s worth sharing with non-subscribers too (although why you wouldn’t subscribe when it’s only £3/mth is anybody’s guess!) An RT immediately adds at least an extra 10 characters to the orginal tweet (and that’s if your username [...]
Twit My Blog: How Best to Link Twitter and your Blog
I just had a text message from a friend asking, “What is the best way to interlink tweet and blog… how do you best tweet to point to your blog post, but further more how can I get people to follow me from the blog, and how can I get them to retweet my blog [...]
Facebook Business – Getting a Pretty Page Name (Username)
I often forget that what seems obvious, old-hat or elementary to some, can be the polar opposite to others… Today alone, I’ve had 3 separate enquiries from people needing help with Facebook business pages – all of them involving how to create a memorable URL or ‘pretty page name’, so I thought I’d share some [...]
The Awesome Power of Authentic Communication in Heart-Led Business
So I was in Facebook when an Ad I’d seen before, but not clicked on, showed up again. No idea why, but this time I clicked and what I found at the end of it was so utterly fantastic that I immediately created an AudioBoo: In Awe of Jenny Shih. As I say in the boo, [...]

How To Embed YouTube Video in A WordPress Blog
Had an email from a client (Jade) the other day about a problem embedding YouTube video in her WordPress blog. She’d done it before, because that’s one of the things I cover in the training sessions I give every client when I hand over their new blog, so, understandably, she was stumped. “There seems to [...]
Why ignoring Facebook is bonkers!
I was discussing various client attraction strategies with a client late last week… ”You might want to think about using Facebook a bit more.” I said. The silence at the other end of the Skype line was palpable. ”Oh do I have to?” pleaded B (like a teenager who’d been asked to tidy her room). I went on [...]

Fire Ceremony & Growing Your Tribe Online
“Ground my body, water my blood, air my breath and fire my spirit.” This was the chant at the Native American Indian New Year’s Fire Ceremony I attended on Wednesday…
Attraction Marketing: GratitudeLog with ‘Follow me’ buttons
Have you discovered GratitudeLog.com yet? For the uninitiated, it’s a bit like Twitter, but instead of asking ‘what are you doing?’ it asks, ‘what are you grateful for today?’ What’s the point? Well, answering this question daily is the quickest way to raise your vibrations and attract more of what you want into your life.
