We are coming to an end of the Embrace Social Media, a TeleSummit. It has been awesome and I have learned so much. I can’t wait to implment some of the things I have learned as well as discontinue a few things I have been doing that I no longer what to do. How about that? I am actually taking a few things OFF my to do list.
Anyway, in the spirit of sharing some great information check out this recent article from Time Magazine called How Twitter Will Change the Way We Live.
The average Facebook user spends about 21 minutes plus per day at the online social network. A Facebook Business Tip

On a recent Teleclass, Mid Year Marketing Review, (which will be on the website in a few days), an attendee asked what public relations is. It’s a great question and we go into detail about it on our Teleclass called Create a World Class Marketing Plan.
But think of it this way, with advertising you pay, with public relations you pray. I have a marketing friend that always used to say that and its true. PR keeps your name and business out front in the eye of the community, but its costs very little or nothing. It can involve committees, associations or sponsorships. PR can be:
PR provides outstanding long term benefits to your business ; it increases your credibility and can build greater brand awareness. Be sure to include PR as one of the elements to your World Class Marketing Plan.

I read something interesting today. According to an article recently from EzineArticles.com, when writing you should consider expanding your article title by forty percent (40%). The evidence suggests that longer article titles produce more views per article vs. short article titles. I found that to be interesting since I do usually try to keep my titles short.
Also, the longer article titles can increase your reprint rate and value. The narrower the focus, the more specialized the reprint website and the more qualified the visitor/reader. This results in a greater referral rate of traffic to your website.
We do a lot of writing so we are are always trying to learn ways to make our writer more effective. Give this a try.
It would be very fair to say that I have been fighting some of this social media craziness for a while now. My fear is that I don’t need one more thing in my day that takes up time rather than benefiting me
. I am very protective of my time and don’t have a need for an overwhelming amount of communication. That said, I recognize when change is happening and I don’t think I have seen anything like this in a while. It’s a frenzy alright; feels more like a cult.
Here are some facts:
So you can’t deny there is something going on here. I either need to get on the bus or be left far behind. In an effort to better understand this frenzy, I’ve been attending some social media events and have learned some info to help me better understand this. Here are some my learnings thus far:
So what does this mean for me. Well, I don’t think you will ever find me constantly “tweeting” as that’s just not for me. But I do see the benefits in terms of meeting really smart people, making connections I would have otherwise not made and potentially making contacts with anyone, anywhere. That I can get my hands around and will dedicate some time too.

I’ve had Savvy Solutions for almost five years, but 1 1/2 years ago I moved to a new city. Being new to Vancouver, I had to start my business over completely. The only person I knew was John, my husband. I had to get out there and start networking and meeting as many people as I possible could and you know what? Its been a year, but its starting to work.
I want to remind you to take advantage of every opportunity and get involved. Don’t let anything that may help you grow your business slip by. Since moving here, I have gotten involved with the Kitsilano Chamber of Commerce (my neighborhood chamber). My good friend Kirsten Severson, owner of KLS Trademark Services, is the VP and she is also responsible for events. I started helping her out at events and have gotten to know many members. Its been great! Recently she got me a meeting with the Executive Director, Terry Clark. I am thrilled to announce Terry has asked me to provide an organizing and productivity workshop for the chamber on June 18th. (More details will be announced soon, but the event will take place at the Watermark Restaurant on Kits Beach, June 18th at 7:30am.)
The only reason the opportunity is available to me is because I got involved. Be sure you are doing what you can to give back, get involved and take advantage of every opportunity. Sometimes, its the simplest efforts that pay off in the end.
My good friend, Susan Polano with Send Out Cards recently forwarded a great article to me. It was by nutrition and healthy expert, Jonny Bowden. To my surprise in his article titled, 7 Ways To Boost Your Energy he mentions organizing.
Jonny #6 way to boost your energy is to “De-clutter and deep-six the energy drain.? Jonny states, “Here’s a rule I’ve found to be a universal truth: your energy has a perfect inverse relationship to the accumulation of stuff you don’t need. The more unwanted, unused, unneeded stuff you have cluttering up your life, the less energy you have. Believe it or not, the condition of your desk (and desktop) and office and living space actually reflects a lot of what’s going on in your head. If you take time to organize and de-clutter, you’ll actually be freeing up a lot of psychic space, and that can really turbo-charge your energy.”
That’s good stuff I wanted to pass along. Get organized and get a burst of energy.
