Now that spring is here the campouts have begun.  I don’t know about you but for me when I think of campouts I think of marshmallows.  As I was toasting my marshmallow on Sunday, I started to think about how the marshmallow I was toasting is very similar to Social Media.  Hmmm….  So here goes. 1.  Some people love them and some people hate them.  Sound familiar.  As a Girl Scout leader for many years, I heard mix feelings about marshmallows.  For some it was more enticing with chocolate, for others they would just eat the chocolate.  Needless to say

Sir Paul the Liverpool genius will be turning 71 in June.  He is my favorite Beatle.  Most of the Internet Kids today don’t even know who this cool dude is! I do!  Heck my kids don’t even know what a record is.   I have to say he would have rocked the world of Social Media in his day if it existed.  When I think of the Beatles and Paul McCartney I think about all the comments out there in the musical world that said the Beatles were way ahead of their time.  Paul McCartney came out of nowhere and became

On a week I should be writing about my inspiring trip to Africa, I find myself in deep thought about the tragic injuries and deaths that transpired at the finish line at the Boston Marathon.  No words can express how much this affects me.  As one who has crossed finish lines many times, I can’t imagine what trauma must be going through the heads of the runners and bystanders.  My deepest sympathies go out to those who lost someone or know someone who was lost or injured. Facebook & Twitter & YouTube and Linkedin have been plastered with pictures and

If you are trying to determine which social media forums to use for your small business, there are a few questions to ask yourself before jumping in?  First determine: What demographic are you targeting to:  Age, Gender, etc. On what social media sites does that demographic hang out? We talk about just jumping into all the top social media forums because that’s what everyone does.  But let’s give this some thought.  Why should you bother with Twitter if your market isn’t paying any attention to postings there?  Just because? NO!  A social marketing strategy involves determining where your target audience

Up Close And Personal with Linkedin!

On February 21, 2013   /   Business, LinkedIn, Linkedin Strategy, Social Media, Social Media Marketing   /   Comments

If you have gotten to know me through only Social Media networking then you know the most important thing for me is being relational.  For me, Linkedin is about relationships.  It’s about connecting.  So Linkedin is one of the many platforms I use to build relationships and get up close and personal.  Let’s face it no one likes to talk to an answering machine that is so automated that it takes an hour to get to a person.  If you think about either does a potential client.  Getting to know people has become personal in Social Media.  Humanize yourself by

Valentines day to me is a lot like Facebook Relationships.  Some of us are in long-term relationships, short-term relationships or no relationships.  Today I want to share with you how nurturing those long-term relationships are your most important asset on Facebook.  I would like to give some strategies also on how you can improve those short-term relationships on Facebook.  And finally talk to you a little about the no relationships.

Stop, Look & Listen on Facebook!

On February 8, 2013   /   Business, Facebook, life, Planning, Social Media, Social Media Marketing   /   Comments

When I was in High School I went to all the football home games.  There was this cheerleading chant that went something like this; “Stop, look and listen we are the mighty bears”.  It was quite catchy because decades later I still remember that chant!  I love this chant so much that I applied it to my personal life and Facebook.  It is so important to “Stop, Look and Listen” in everything you do on Facebook.  So here are three thoughts on this catchy phrase in relation to Facebook. 1.   Stop – Stop has many meanings.  Such as to cease

Thor and Hmm…… Pinterest??????

On January 31, 2013   /   Facebook, Social Media   /   Comments

Last weekend we had my Grandsons 5th birthday party!  It was an Avenger themed party with the biggest picture of Thor on the Table clothe.  I loved the theme!  Now I don’t confess to be an Avenger expert but I would assume that Thor the hammer-wielding hero is a bit popular with the ladies.  I will confess that I thought he was, well, um, HOT!  Seriously though what does this have to do with Pinterest? Thor is a hero created by Marvel comics.  He is very powerful with this hammer he fights with.  We can be powerful with using Social
