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 [...]
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 [...]
2 Online Marketing Events (UK) for Inspired & Spiritual Entrepreneurs
2 UK Spring events to help you create your online presence.
Are YOU using Social Media to grow your business or brand?
I’m so excited! Last night, I emailed all my clients and mailing list subscribers announcing the new BusinessBlogAngel’s Social Media Inner Circle. I wanted to give them a bit of head start before I blogged about it here, but since the Qualifying Calls start tomorrow, I can’t wait any longer! Whether you’re already using social [...]
Business blog benefits – can social media work for ALL businesses?
Most business owners and managers I speak to are quick to recognise the benefits and huge potential that a ‘social media marketing’ and ‘business blogging’ strategy can offer. But occasionally, I’ll meet someone who whilst ‘getting’ the theory, simply cannot imagine what on earth they’d write about. Certainly, some businesses might have an easier time [...]
What are your business blogging goals for 2008?
Although January can sometimes feel like a slow month, it’s also a time when our thoughts naturally turn to our goals, dreams and ambitions for the year ahead, to the things we resolve to do or intend to set out and make happen. I know that we’ve all got our own ways of thinking about [...]
Revealed: the challenges with social media sites the experts don’t tell you
So, after my video tutorial and post last week Claire was persuaded to give StumbleUpon another go. She’d bought my argument that it was a good way to connect with readers, to share information on other sites you enjoy, and to learn more about people who are stumbling your stuff. But how would she get [...]
A thumbs up to StumbleUpon
I keep on reminding Claire that she should get into Stumbleupon as another extension of her social media networking strategy… and she keeps on telling me that she will once I explain to her how it all works. There’s nothing like a challenge to get my creative juices flowing, so I decided to combine an [...]
What do you do when you can’t think what to blog about?
I’m sure you know the feeling. It’s time for some blogging. Maybe it’s your scheduled day to post. Maybe it’s been a little while. Whatever the reason, you know today’s the day to get back to the dashboard, whip up a quick post and hit the send button. Except when you look at your blogging [...]
Online identity management: joining the Blog Angel Team
I had to smile when I saw that Claire was going to be offering help with online identity management – because I figure I could do with some of that myself just now as I establish my new identity as part of the Blog Angel Team. Once Claire and I had agreed the fundamentals of [...]
