I’ve invited Traci Hayner Vanover to share a post today. I connected with her through social media and our mutual love of caffeine and animals. A fantastic resource for all things related to social media – and small business in general. Check out her sites at the end of this post, lots of resources to learn from.
My husband and I share our home and life with three spoiled rotten Yorkshire terriers.
Anyone that’s known me longer than five minutes will surely tell you that I love to share stories about my canine kids, and how there’s scarcely a dull moment at our house. I’m one of “those” dog owners that dresses her dogs — and photos of the furry trio often grace my Facebook page.
Yes, I’m crazy about my dogs. But, I was just as surprised as anyone when I realized how much they could teach me about social media. Dogs have a zest and appreciation for life that we could all do well to adopt. On any given day, they’d easily be social media icons (save for that pesky typing issue).
You’ve got two basic choices in promoting your business:
My first post on this topic was pretty popular so I thought I’d give it a second round. Marketing can feel like this huge overwhelming thunderstorm that hangs over our heads when we’re running our own businesses. As if we’ve got TIME to deal with ONE MORE THING! But it doesn’t have to be that way.
I just read a really cool blog post and I’d LOVE to share it with my followers on Twitter, Facebook, and elsewhere. But there’s not a TweetThis button in sight. Not a Facebook share or like icon. No easy way to share on LinkedIn, Stumble or Digg the post. Hrm… now I’ll have to decide how bad I want to share it? Do I feel like copying and pasting the link, running it through a shortener for Twitter, and all that…
Twitter is a great way to network and connect with people online but it can get a bit overwhelming once you’re following more than a few people.
Do you love networking and connecting with people through Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and other sites but find that it ends up taking far too much time out of your busy day? Do you wish there were a way you could update all your profiles at once, automatically share your blog content, and make it easier for others to share your website on the social networks? Good news–you can!
