Awesome Twitter Handbook for Free!
By · Leave a Comment
I haven’t even gotten to Twitter yet, but this link is just too good to miss! Twitter is a new application.. at least to me that involves Micro-blogging. Twitter defines itself “Social networking and micro blogging service utilizing instant messaging, SMS or a web interface.” You can only use 140 characters per message that people who are subscribed to you can read on their cell phone text messaging service or on the web. Friends “follow” you and you can “follow” friends, the control is all up to you. Even Barack Obama is on twitter trying to keep the younger web 2.0 people informed and hyped up about voting for him… But enough of me trying to explain it.. Follow this link and download the free Twitter handbook here.
The way I am using this is to follow my “mentors” in the internet business. Take a look and see if it has an application for you.

Facebook and You!
By · 1 Comment
Yes I know what most ADULTS think of the likes of Facebook, MySpace etc…. but really REALLY … Facebook is becoming the Face of entrepreneurs who want to get who they are, what they stand for and what they want to do for you out there in the public eye via the web.
I started years ago on MySpace and Facebook because I’m a VERY smart Mom… and knew it was a great way to see what my kids were doing… keep up with the current “lingo” and get copies of pictures taken of my girls that I’d never see or get anywhere else (I’m a Photo Scrapbooking Junkie!) but that a whole OTHER Blog topic…. Anyway, it’s a great idea for you parents out there who haven’t done it yet. But THEN….
Recently in the past 6 months or so… MY friends (like the over 30 set) were starting to show up on Facebook and friend me…. WOW.. I thought… this is cooler than getting poked and smashed by pumpkins by my kids & their friends. Then I linked up with Andrea Kalli who linked me up with Mari Smith (the Facebook Lady) and I’ve been off and running ever since.
So your to do list for today is
1. Go set up a profile on Facebook.
There are TON’s of other Social Networking sites to hook up with.. But I’m starting with this one first!
Let me know how you did!

The first thing you should do if you want to grown your business is friend Mari on Facebook and follow her at @marismith on Twitter! She does podcasts and radio interviews all the time and her accent is a joy to listen to, plus she’s just fun and informative!
